2024 NFL Draft: Instant First Round Reactions (Ep. 1254)

With the NFL's free agency period in the rearview and the NFL Draft on the horizon, our crew tackles a dynasty mock draft to show you how to value both the old and new faces for 2021 and beyond! Yates selects Jonathan Taylor (7:18) second overall, Joe nabs Saquon Barkley (8:11) third, and Tags takes Alvin Kamara (9:07) at the sixth spot. Would it be wise for fantasy managers to take a chance on passing Aaron Jones (13:28) late in the second round, is Aaron Rodgers (37:24) worth a 10th round pick in dynasty despite his age, and should we let DeSean Jackson's presence dampen our outlook on Van Jefferson (50:51)? Listen all the way to see who drafted the best team!

Joey P., Tags, and Yates are back to predict what will happen during the NFL's free agency period. Where does it make the most sense for Aaron Jones (4:39) to wind up and has Leonard Fournette (17:33) played his way into a starting role somewhere else? Will Allen Robinson (30:52) finally be united with a quality signal-caller and where do we expect JuJu Smith-Schuster (38:23) sign? Does Dak Prescott (1:02:57) actually leave Dallas and is Jameis Winston (1:08:58) primed to be the Saints' starting QB?
