Summary

Garret Price and Andrew Mott close the pre-draft runway by locking in their top fives at every fantasy position—and the real takeaway isn’t just the names, it’s the process. They argue that if a player is moving more than a few spots post-draft, it’s usually a mistake. Big ADP risers are more likely to bust, and the NFL Draft should be used to break ties and clarify Day 3, not rewrite your board. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube They open by calling out the most common dynasty leak this time of year: letting the NFL Draft swing opinions too far. The exception is when the league is drastically lower than expected on a player, which should trigger a reevaluation, not an automatic fade. The goal is conviction, not consensus. At quarterback, it’s a Superflex-first conversation, led by Fernando Mendoza as the clear QB1, with the tier breaks after that shaping how aggressively you should chase the rest of the class. At running back, Jeremiyah Love is the clear RB1, while the RB2 tier is a tight cluster where landing spot and draft capital will decide the order between Mike Washington Jr., Jonah Coleman, and Jadarian Price, with Emmett Johnson getting real love as the RB5 swing. Wide receiver is where the variance shows up. Andrew’s WR group is led by Jordyn Tyson, with Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon close behind, then KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the mix. Garret’s list is more aggressive on upside and has Omar Cooper inside the top tier, while still acknowledging Boston as the “safer” archetype compared to the boom bust profiles behind him. At tight end, they largely agree on the names at the top—Eli Stowers and Kenyon Sadiq headline the class—but disagree on how to order the mid-tier, with the conversation shaped by how much you’re willing to bet on traits versus profile risk.

0:21.2	Football landscape is about to change. Yeah, no, it's about to be so much different. And the
0:28.1	funny part is everything could change and everything can be so different or it could really be
0:33.3	not. Like, you know, we could do all of this and it's like well i still have this receivers in the same
0:38.6	order in the top like eight or i still have the same running backs the spots i would take them like
