We appreciate you guys hanging out with us.
This has been a very interesting start to our Tuesday. We're going to have a ton of fun with you guys today because we have a huge, very fun mock draft planned on the show. It is going to be a blast to be able to dive into everything. I got the number one overall pick. Field, where are you picking in this one?

**Field Yates** (1:15)
I'm picking five, but I'm wondering, how did you get the number one overall pick?

**Daniel Dopp** (1:18)
Well, I know some people, Field, no big deal. Someday you'll have my Rolodex. Liz, where are you at?

**Liz Loza** (1:24)
I'm at pick 11

**Field Yates** (1:25)
You're at pick 11

**Daniel Dopp** (1:26)
All right, so we're going to dive in and have a ton of fun doing a mock draft today. Really quickly, though, we do want to let you guys know a little bit of logistics before we get started. All righty. Because we did start late, so we do want to get into that mock draft. But a live show, August 20th in New York City. Come hang out with us. Go to fantasyfocusslive.com.
We're going to all be out there. Me, Mike, Field and Liz doing a live show with the people, being able to answer questions, have a good time like we always do, swag, food, all the good stuff. So fantasyfocusslive.com, August 20th in New York. Make sure you check that out. And in case you are new or you want to tell your friend, hey, you know what, go check out Fantasy Focus. We got a lot of places you can find us this year. One, we are live on the NFL and ESPN YouTube page at 10 a.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Pacific. Excuse me, 7 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific. Oh my gosh, 10 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific. We are also live in the ESPN app. We're also live in the ESPN Fantasy app. We're also live on the ESPN Fantasy Facebook page. We're also available everywhere that you get your podcast, Apple, Spotify, iHeart, you name it, we are there. And you can find a simulcast on ESPN2 every Wednesday throughout the off season. And we're gonna have a bigger cadence throughout the regular season as well. So you can get us a lot of places here. Make sure that you come and hang out with us because we're gonna have a ton of fun this season talking about some football. All right, make sure you hang out with our buddy Eric Moody in chat. We love him. He's not just in chat today. He is also in this mock draft. So we're gonna have him in here as well. But we're gonna kick things off with the number one overall pick, which just so happens to go to me.
And guys, 101, there's only two guys that you're thinking about here. It's Bijan Robinson and Jameer Gibbs. And one of them just got paid today, Field, three years, $75 million for Bijan Robinson. I know where I'm gonna go. I'll tell the people afterwards. But I'm curious, how do you feel about this Bijan deal and him as one of the top guys, one of the top two guys in the league?

**Field Yates** (3:13)
I think by the time we start the show tomorrow, Jameer Gibbs might have a deal as well. But if you're an early drafter and you're trying to break a tie between these two, and I have these guys in a virtual tie, this is a nice way to break the tie, because until Jameer Gibbs' deal gets done, there is the threat, which I think is a infinitesimal threat, that a deal doesn't get done. And we have a Zeke Elliott situation. Remember Zeke got his deal done with the Cowboys, like 24 hours before the regular season began. So you're sitting there and you're sweating, or we had the Le'Veon Bell situation where no deal got done, and you took a first round pick or a second round pick and you lit it on fire.
Because of the fact that Bijan's deal is done, 10, 18 a.m. at Tuesday, August 4th, and we're having this draft, I think it's an easy way to make the case for Bijan number one overall. But you're the one that has the power, so you tell us.
