    Dynasty Rookie Superflex Mock Draft with Matt Waldman

    With the draft in the rear view there is no better time to do a dynasty rookie mock draft. Football Guy's Matt Waldman joins Matt Harmon for a two round Superflex format dynasty draft. The two debate the biggest topics of rookie mock drafts and when Marvin Harrison Jr. should come off the board. The two also identify deep dynasty sleepers to consider in later rounds.

    To start the pod, Waldman shares his thoughts on Caleb Williams and what makes him a truly special prospect at the QB position. Harmon also struggles to identify when to take Jayden Daniels over the elite three WRs. The two also discuss the production ceiling for WR Ladd McConkey in his rookie year as he will likely be the top passing threat for Justin Herbert.

    The biggest debate, by far in the pod, was when to take Bills WR Keon Coleman. Waldman thinks he could be special at the next level while Harmon shares his doubts. The two discuss if Josh Allen can maximize his potential in the NFL and if Coleman has what it takes to be a true WR1 in the NFL.

    After the break, the two dive into the second round which includes Waldman defending the Atlanta Falcons for taking Michael Penix Jr. The two also identify deep dynasty sleepers that could be steals in the second and third round.

    NFL Draft fantasy winners and losers + Biggest debates in dynasty rookie rankings

    Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens go where no pod has gone before after the NFL Draft. They identify the biggest winners and losers in the fantasy world. This is totally an original idea so don't fact check us. Behrens also reveals the four biggest debates he had when putting together his rookie dynasty rankings.

    To start the show, Behrens shares his thoughts on the Bears dynamic draft that saw them snag Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze in the first and the Iowa punter in the fourth round. Being a Hawkeye alum, Behrens is over the moon with the Bears selections and is counting down the days to a Super Bowl parade.

    The two then share, secret list style, their three biggest winners and losers from this year's NFL Draft with a focus on players that will now have to face competition from rookie teammates and those are look like they are in the clear for tons of volume. Both agree Las Vegas Raiders RB Zamir White might be the biggest winner of the draft while his new teammate Brock Bowers might be the biggest loser.

    To end the show, Behrens shares the four biggest debates he had with himself when putting together his rookie dynasty rankings. Harmon and Behrens discuss the biggest hot button debates that will dominate dynasty rookie drafts this summer.

    NFL Draft Rounds 2-7 recap: Rookie fantasy fits we love and question

    The NFL Draft is officially in the books. We no longer need to speculate on where guys will go. Now it's time to see how they fit. Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald look at the rookie fantasy fits they love, the ones they question and the group of picks that are great real life picks but rather 'meh' for fantasy purposes.

    To start the show the duo highlight fantasy fits that they love. Harmon and McDonald agree that WR Ladd McConkey going to the Chargers is a match made in heaven with Justin Herbert. Harmon speculates if McConkey can have a more productive rookie season that Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze with his opportunity for targets. Harmon is also bullish on RB Trey Benson going to Arizona and thinks he could be a potential late season 'league winner' in 2024. McDonald and Harmon disagree on the Dolphins selection of RB Jaylen Wright.

    After the break, the two identify picks that they didn't love but questioned how they'd fit for fantasy purposes. Harmon is still very skeptical of how WR Keon Coleman will work in Buffalo. McDonald is willing trust the talent of Josh Allen to make it work. The two also wonder how WR Malachi Corley will be used in New York and if Nathanial Hackett will be able to maximize him in the slot.

    The two end the show with four picks that they thought were great in real life but very 'meh' for fantasy purposes. No pick caused more anguish in the fantasy community than the L.A. Rams taking RB Blake Corum. The two were also confused by the Green Bay Packers taking RB Marshawn Lloyd after signing Josh Jacobs this offseason.

    NFL Draft Round 1 Recap: 5 biggest fantasy storylines + instant draft grades

    Night one of the NFL Draft is in the books and it was filled with tons of surprises. None bigger than Charles McDonald's beloved Atlanta Falcons taking QB Michael Penix with the eighth overall pick. Matt Harmon and McDonald breakdown the five biggest fantasy storylines from night one of the draft and provide instant draft grades and dynasty rookie rankings.

    To start the podcast, Harmon gets McDonald's raw reaction to the shocking pick by the Falcons. McDonald gives Atlanta an 'F' for their pick of Penix and tries to make sense of the selection. The two then provide their reactions to the other five QBs that went in the first round. Both also couldn't believe that Denver actually took Bo Nix with their first round pick.

    After the break, Harmon and McDonald share their reactions to the big three WRs finding homes. The two love Marvin Harrison Jr.'s fit with Arizona. While both love Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze, they preach patience on them becoming potential viable fantasy players from the start. Harmon and McDonald then share how they stack up in rookie dynasty rankings now that they have their NFL teams.

    The two also share their reaction to TE Brock Bowers going to Las Vegas and the four WRs going off the board late in round one. Harmon and McDonald realize they are on different sides of the ledger when it comes to the 49ers taking Ricky Pearsall with their 1st round pick. The two end the show by picking the offensive lineman in the first round they think will have the biggest impact on their teams in year one.

    2:45 - Six QBs go in the first 12 picks

    29:55 - Big three WRs find their new homes

    44:15 - Brock Bowers shockingly goes to Las Vegas

    Teams that will shape the Draft: QB needy teams outside top ten + top ten teams we can't figure out

    We have officially entered 'silly season' of NFL Draft week where rumors are rampant and everything must be taken with a grain of salt. Fear not, Matt Harmon and Fantasy Pro's Thor Nystrom are here to cut through the smoke. Concluding our 'teams that will shape the Draft' series, the two look at the QB needy teams outside the top ten - Minnesota, Denver, Las Vegas - as well as teams inside the top ten that could be wild cards - New York Giants, Tennessee Titans and New York Jets.

    To start the show, Harmon and Nystrom dive into the Minnesota Vikings and what possibilities exist for them to jump in the draft to take JJ McCarthy or Drake Maye. The duo looks at how the top QBs could fit in Kevin O'Connell's offense and Justin Jefferson.

    The two then try to make sense of the Denver Broncos after they acquired Zach Wilson from the New York Jets in a trade. Given that Denver might have the worst QB room in the league, the duo try to figure out which rookie QB is the most realistic option and best fit for Sean Payton's scheme. The two discuss Bo Nix's potential in Denver and if they can trade down and still acquire the Oregon QB later in the draft.

    Harmon and Nystrom have a similar conversation about the Las Vegas Raiders QB room and if they could be a dark horse team to trade up for QB. After the break the two try to predict what the New York Giants, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans do with their top ten picks.

    3:40 - Minnesota Vikings: Do they have the ammunition to land JJ McCarthy or Drake Maye?

    22:25 - Denver Broncos: What are they doing? Who are they? Are they really that bad?

    39:15 - New York Giants: Do they take a top WR or swing for a QB?

    46:30 - New York Jets: Rome Odunze, Brock Bowers or OL?

    50:27 - Tennessee Titans: What's the best move to help Will Levis in this new look offense?

Yes, Brugler doesn't just put together 'The Beast' but a seven round mock. Everything you need to get ready for Thursday night.

He has the Indianapolis Colts snagging Florida WR Ricky Pearsall in the second round to complete their WR room and re-pairs Anthony Richardson with his former college teammate.

    Draft Deep Dive: TEs + Top OL prospects + Best fantasy fits for Brock Bowers

    We are just one week away from all the projections, rumors and lies from being put to rest. The Draft is almost there. We put a bow on our 'Draft Deep Dive' series with Yahoo's draft guru Charles McDonald by looking at the top TE and OL prospects in this year's draft.

    Of course we can't begin anywhere else than looking at Georgia TE Brock Bowers and what type of impact he could make instantly in the NFL. McDonald and Harmon dive into what makes him a unique talent at the TE position and worthy of being a top ten pick.

    McDonald, a Georgia fan, recaps his illustrious career in Athens and what team fits could get the most out of him at the next level. Harmon wonders if some teams won't know how to use him and if that could lead to him sliding out of the top ten in the draft.

    The duo then look at day two TEs that could develop into starters in the NFL. After the break Harmon and McDonald look at the top ten OL prospects list from Nate Tice and dissect what makes each a first round talent. Harmon and McDonald agree that the OL position might be the deepest in top tier talent of any position this year.

    What do the Bills, Bengals, Packers, Rams and 49ers have in common? They are all contenders with 10 plus picks in this year's draft. Rotogrinders' Jordan Vanek joins Matt Harmon for the latest installment of our 'Teams that will shape the Draft' series to look at how each contender can maximize their plethora of picks next week.

    But first, the two start the pod by reacting to the Philadelphia Eagles extending WR Devonta Smith. Both believe it's money well spent but have concerns if the Eagles offense can truly maximize the WRs talents in their current offense with Jalen Hurts at the helm.

Harmon believes five of the six teams are serious contenders next year and can use their picks to put them over the top.
