What trades could happen during the NFL draft?
Welcome in, everybody, to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It is me, Joey P., Joe P. Zappia, and if you can believe it or not, the NFL Draft is now just days away, which means it's the last mock draft show we're going to do, and we've got a special guest for you today. Of course, our mainstays from our Dynasty work over here and our main channel at Fantasy Pros, my patty cakes, Pat Fitzmaurice is here. We got Scott Bogman here as well. Great show with Scott Bogman yesterday. We just recorded it on the tailgate. Go check it out.
Who are the best sleeper picks for fantasy football after round 1?
Tailgate NFL. We broke down the top 100 board, too. It was fantastic. Me, D-Bro, and Boggs. And our special guest, the man behind the game plan, the man at CBS and the HQ, Emery Hunt.
How does team strategy affect draft selections?
Emery, you and I have been friends for over a decade now, I've realized. We've done shows together in studios and things like that. And I was watching the show the other day. I stopped working. I turned on the TV, and there you are on CBS.
What are the implications of player trades on team performance?
Emery's always dressed well, always looking good. And my man on that show, he took a shot at you in your cool white and green suit. He said you looked like a breath mint. I was like, man, don't make fun of my boy Emery because Emery is always bringing the fashion game. He always looks good on the shows. I think you need to have words with your colleague there, my friend.
Nah, he nailed it. I told him that before we went on air. I was like, I look like a breath of fresh air. So, you know, it's just how it rolls. But it's all fun and games, you know, when we play on HQ. So that's what makes it fun.
Absolutely, man. And I was like, you know, I figured I was like, I bet Emery even said it beforehand before it started. But like, great job. You guys did some amazing work with the comps. And we're going to do that today. We got just one round for you. There will be a trade in this one, too. So keep an eye out for that here. Tease it up. And of course, Don't forget to follow us here and subscribe to the YouTube channel and watch our coverage of the draft live. I will be in Pittsburgh giving you some coverage there as well, live on the channel at the end of the draft, but also possibly during as well. We're working all that out, but we're going to be here live for the entire draft, as always, breaking down the picks for you.
Let's start with the 101, which is an auto pick. So, Emery, I'm just going to get your take on Fernando Mendoza. We know it's a lock. We know it's happening. I guess at this point, I just want your breakdown of Mendoza as an NFL quarterback, because I feel like all of us feel pretty good about it. I wish all of us felt great about it. Sometimes I feel like there's just something I can't shake. Emery, I don't know what your take is on Mendoza here. I think it's the right selection here for the Raiders. But what do you think in terms of NFL career? We're looking ahead for Fernando Mendoza.
I think he's a high floor guy, so him stepping into the situation with the Raiders feels solid because of what they've done this offseason in free agency. He's not going to be the wowing talent, but he's not going to be a detriment to your offensive success. So, you know, just a solid player, but one that has a chance to be successful as a rookie because of how the Raiders have handled their offseason.
All right, so success there for Fernando Mendoza, number one overall pick.
