Episode 576 - Mock Draft 5.0 - PPR on Sleeper with Michael Florio

·1 hr 28 min·5 clips

Michael Florio joins a live mock draft on Sleeper, revealing his strategy as running backs fly off the board early.

The episode begins with hosts Bogman and The Welsh introducing Mock Draft 5.0, a half-PPR draft on Sleeper featuring guest Michael Florio from NFL Network. They explain the draft setup: 12 teams, three wide receivers, two running backs, one flex, tight end, and bench spots, with no defense or kicker. Before the draft, they cover preseason week one news, including injuries to players like Joe Mixon, Anthony Richardson, and Jaden Reed, and depth chart movements such as Marvin Mims rising. The draft starts with Jamar Chase as the first pick, followed by a run on running backs like Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, and Jahmyr Gibbs. Florio picks Malik Nabers and A.J. Brown early, discussing his high rankings for them. Bogman selects Amon-Ra St. Brown and Brock Bowers, while Welsh takes Ja'Marr Chase and later Trey McBride. Mid-draft, they react to picks like Breece Hall and James Cook, with Bogman frustrated by snipes. Late rounds see a quarterback run, prompting Welsh to take Caleb Williams and Drake Maye. After the draft, they review rosters: Florio's team includes Nabers, Brown, Breece Hall, and Justin Fields; Bogman's has St. Brown, Garrett Wilson, and Brock Bowers; Welsh's features Chase, Ladd McConkey, and a risky backfield. They use Fantasy Pros Draft Assistant for grades, revealing Welsh's team ranked first despite his concerns, with Kyle and Braun in the top three. Florio plugs his new Bills podcast with Stevie Johnson and his ESPN role. The episode ends with reminders to visit InThisLeague.com for ranks and mock results.
