Jordan McNamara, author of The Analytics of Dynasty, is with us for our last mock draft before the big event next week! The Chargers move up to the third overall pick to snag their franchise quarterback (4:11) and who is the first wideout taken off the board between Henry Ruggs III, Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb (18:54)? Are the Patriots primed to make arguably the draft's most surprising pick (35:03), will the Colts select their signal-caller of the future early (48:57), and is it really possible that the Falcons select an RB in the first two rounds after recently acquiring Todd Gurley (1:03:05)?

Bobby is back in action today! Our trio breaks down their favorite comps and landing spots for each notable prospect and sheds some light on what their fantasy value could look like on those teams. Is Tennessee gearing up to grab Jonathan Taylor (5:28) and will Henry Ruggs III (22:21) be more comparable to star WR Tyreek Hill or draft bust John Ross? Would Justin Jefferson (33:46) have more fantasy value in New Orleans or Philadelphia, do the Bengals have enough weapons for Joe Burrow (51:55) to be a viable fantasy QB in 2020, and how much potential does Antonio Gandy-Golden (53:57) possess?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Derek Brown of FantasyData is on with us as we recap the most fantasy-relevant moves from the first week of NFL Free Agency. Is Kenyan Drake (8:26) the biggest winner of the DeAndre Hopkins/David Johnson (4:28) deal, what does Tom Brady's (14:27) arrival in Tampa Bay mean for both the Buccaneers' and the Patriots' receivers, and is Stefon Diggs (19:34) primed to be undervalued in Buffalo? Where do we rank Todd Gurley (36:05) now that he's in Atlanta and how does the Broncos' backfield shake out now that Melvin Gordon (42:16) has been added to the mix?

Danny Kelly from The Ringer is on with us as we perform another first-round mock of this year's NFL Draft. Is Jeff Okudah (7:58) a great fit for Detroit now that CB Darius Slay is gone or is the third-overall pick too high for a cornerback? What is Jerry Jeudy's (25:23) fantasy potential if he lands in Las Vegas and would Henry Ruggs III (32:50) be a mid-round target for fantasy owners if the Broncos take him? Finally, will a high-risk, high-reward signal-caller like Jordan Love (49:07) pick up from where Tom Brady left off in New England?
