We recently completed a 12-team, 0.5 PPR mock draft and we'll review our team builds and see what worked best. First, we noticed that the teams that drafted Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts waited until Round 10 or later to draft a tight end. We explore that decision and if it's OK to take an elite QB and an elite TE. Then we've got some news and notes (8:15) on Dalvin Cook, J.K. Dobbins, Antonio Gibson and more ... Getting into our team builds, we start with Jamey's team (17:05). Jamey had the first overall pick and started with three wide receivers. How did he do at every other position? Then we look at Heath's team (22:55) which had the ninth overall pick. Heath drafted nothing but RBs and WRs with his first seven picks. How did waiting on QB and TE work out for him? ... Adam's team (38:55), drafting with pick 11, features a Top 5 QB and a Top 7 TE. Adam may have made a mistake in Rounds 5 and 6. And finally we look at the Travis Kelce build (45:45), talk about Jerick McKinnon (49:30) and finish with a few more news items ... Email us at [email protected]
