All right, coming up on 4 o'clock Carton Show Big Mac. Don't forget, tomorrow, the program, you know, Jackson Dart, starting quarterback, New York Giants is going to join us. I don't know exactly what time yet, but I know he's gonna be joining us tomorrow afternoon. Ricard's gonna join us as well, so we'll get the starting quarterback and the starting fullback, but it's time now for the first ever Carton Show fantasy football draft.

**Anthony Gallo** (0:23)
Let's go.

**Craig Carton** (0:24)
Representing the New York Jets, the Paltons, is my guy, Anthony Gallo. Let's go.
Representing the New York Giants, my guy, Pete Hoffman.

**Pete Hoffman** (0:36)
Let's go, baby. We got this.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
So here's how it's gonna work, guys. We're gonna flip a coin, because both teams stunk last year, although the Jets should have the first pick, but it's okay. Not a big deal. We're gonna flip a coin. We're going position players only.
One quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and a tight end.
Okay? Quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, tight end. That's what you get to draft. Okay? You know the rules of fantasy football. I think we're gonna learn a valuable lesson now as to which team's got the better skill position players on their roster, okay?

**Anthony Gallo** (1:22)
So, just to clarify, since I'm representing the Jets, I could still pick Giants, correct?

**Craig Carton** (1:28)
That's the whole idea.

**Pete Hoffman** (1:29)
Yeah, we're just going back and forth, Jets and Jets.

**Craig Carton** (1:31)
You're repping the Jets, but you can pick anybody you want.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:33)
I got you.

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
If you want to pick Jackson and Dart, pick Jackson and Dart.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:36)
No, I'm just throwing out of my way. You know, sometimes you got to throw me in the...

**Craig Carton** (1:39)
I want to get in the sense of current order, that's all.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:43)
I got a coin.

**Craig Carton** (1:45)
I don't think we should flip a coin, though.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:47)
It's a wild recorder.

**Craig Carton** (1:48)
I want to hear a little rock, paper, scissor action, best out of three. OK, here we go. And it goes, it's rock, paper, scissor, shoot. On shoot.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:57)
OK, all right.

**Craig Carton** (1:57)
So people mess that up. Go ahead.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:01)
Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.

**Craig Carton** (2:03)
I don't see it. What do you got?

**Pete Hoffman** (2:04)
I got a paper.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:06)
Paper to the scissor.

**Craig Carton** (2:07)
Scissor takes round one.

**Pete Hoffman** (2:08)
This is the first round.

**Craig Carton** (2:10)
Best out of three. I'm going to bug you to both those monitors so I can see it.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:13)
Here we go. Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.

**Craig Carton** (2:17)
Scissor, rock. Oh, I crushed you. The rock beats the scissor. This one decides who gets to draft first.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:25)
I'm so nervous.

**Craig Carton** (2:25)
Very exciting.

**Pete Hoffman** (2:26)
I feel like I know where you're going on this one.

**Craig Carton** (2:28)
Here we go. Rock, paper, scissor, shoot. Scissor. Scissor, scissor. Scissor. We do it again. My favorite category. Here we go.
Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:41)
Oh, I got the rock.

**Pete Hoffman** (2:43)
Scissor. Pete Hoffman.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:45)
It didn't work.

**Pete Hoffman** (2:46)
First round. I know where I'm going all day, baby.

**Craig Carton** (2:48)
Okay. Who are you picking first?

**Pete Hoffman** (2:51)
Numero.

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
Jets and Giants only. Go ahead.

**Pete Hoffman** (2:53)
Numero uno.

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
Yes.

**Pete Hoffman** (2:56)
At running back. Oh, Breeze Hall.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
You got it. Taking Breeze Hall. Wow.
Now, you're repping the Giants here today. Okay.

**Pete Hoffman** (3:06)
Oh, I am?

**Craig Carton** (3:07)
No, it's fine, though.

**Pete Hoffman** (3:08)
I'm still going with Breeze Hall.

**Craig Carton** (3:10)
Your team name is just the Giants, obviously. All right. So Breeze Hall.

**Pete Hoffman** (3:14)
Is this a snake drift, by the way, or no? Just go back and forth, back and forth.

**Craig Carton** (3:18)
We're just going to go back and forth.

**Anthony Gallo** (3:19)
I thought it was a snake drift.

**Craig Carton** (3:21)
You want to go one, two, one like that? That's fine. If that's how you want to do it. I have no problem with that.

**Anthony Gallo** (3:26)
Are we doing that so I get two here?

**Craig Carton** (3:27)
So you get two here. Okay, Breece Hall off the board.
Who's the first player you can only pick from the Jets and Giants roster? Who are you picking in your first round pick?
