On today's episode, host Easton Freeze, producer JT, and special guest James Foster of AtoZsports.com dive into:
THE REPLACEMENTS
Did you REALLY want a round 1 or 2 player, but your team missed out on them? Easton, JT & James go hunting in the bargain bin for the replacement prospects in later rounds whose games reflect the "off-brand" version of the household names you already know!
- Miss out on S Antonio Johnson? Take S Quindell Johnson | Memphis (4:18)
- Miss out on TE Tucker Kraft? Take TE Zack Kuntz | Old Dominion (6:36)
- Miss out on WR Jalin Hyatt? Take WR Marvin Mims | Oklahoma (8:50)
- Miss out on CB Joey Porter Jr.? Take CB Rejzohn Wright | Oregon State (11:48)
- Miss out on WR Tyler Scott? Take WR Jayden Reed | Michigan State (17:01)
- Miss out on TE Michael Mayer? Take TE Sam LaPorta | Iowa (19:33)
- Miss out on TE Sam LaPorta? Take TE Brayden Willis | Oklahoma (22:25)
- Miss out on EDGE Lukas Van Ness? Take EDGE YaYa Diaby | Louisville (25:11)
THE FLIP-FLOPS
