Draft Craft

Dan & JP get together in person back in JP's basement the day after their fantasy draft to talk about nothing related to the NFL. It's College 12 packs! Some of these names you'll see in first round mocks, some of them you'll want to write down so you can watch along with us this year as they climb the boards. We start with the big fast guys!

(41:54)-Beverage Break

Hooooo boy. It was another messy beer challenge, though at least this time Dan didn't spill all over himself. They broke out the Craft Light Beer blind war, and threw in a little craft light IPA battle as well! Spoiler alert...they're all better than the last time they tried light beers.

(52:18)-Isaac Brown - RB - Louisville Cardinals

(55:01)-Nick Marsh - WR - Indiana Hoosiers

Dan & JP get rolling on college 12 packs with week zero upon us on Saturday! With no game tape to go off of yet, consider this a deeper dive on what we already know about these players. Let's make some projections! Oh, and also the boys spend the first like 25 minutes ranking the NFL rivalry threads that just dropped today. So feel free to skip that if you just want player talk, ha!

(00:40)-Rivalry Uni Rankings

(24:32)-LaNorris Sellars - QB - South Carolina Gamecocks

(28:50)-Carter Smith - OT - Indiana Hoosiers

(49:44)-Jadan Baugh - RB -Florida Gators

(51:49)-Quincy Rhodes Jr. - ER - Arkansas Razorbacks

(53:45)-Beverage Break

JP has fun with labels, as his Shorts "Local's light" is anything but! It is indeed a Pumpkincrusha, lending more intrigue to the game Shorts Brewing seems to be playing with wrapping locals light cans with other labels.

Dan sips on the Double Dry Hop King Sue from Toppling Goliath. This double IPA is a lie. It's definitely a hazy! Also, it's delicious, so we'll give them a pass.

(58:05)-Gideon ESPN Lampron - LB - Colorado Buffalos

(1:00:57)-Cooper Barkate - WR - Miami (FL) Hurricanes

(1:03:59)-A'Mauri Washington - DL - Oregon Ducks

We're just over a week away from the RETURN of college football! With guys on NFL rosters maybe coming back to play! We're in wild times. But the games come at us regardless, and the lads start planting flags early this year with their top 32 big boards. Write these names down! You're either going to sound brilliant, or you're going to laugh with us at the end of the year.

(00:49)-More potato talk somehow

(08:50)-Ranks 32-29

(19:14)-Ranks 28-25

(25:29)-Ranks 24-21

(32:44)-Ranks 20-17

(39:22)-Beverage Break

JP & Dan put a wrap on their boulevard trio, drinking the Wood Baron Barrel Fresh (it's a thing) Ale. The lowest rated of the bunch...and still worth a sip even though it's not a style the boys generally like as much. Just goes to show you they have some good stuff! They also recounted a couple of great sours from Butcherstown in Kentucky. PB&J anyone?!

(48:42)-Ranks 16-12

(58:45)-Ranks 12-9

(1:02:59)-Ranks 8 & 7

(1:06:51)-Ranks 6-4

(1:10:00)-Ranks 3-1

(1:14:31)-Top guys that juuuuuust missed top 32

JP & Dan take part in one of their favorite and most ridiculous thought exercises of the college football preseason! Two guys, heads up snake draft for a starting lineup of likely draftable players in next year's 2027 NFL draft. So no, this isn't a true big board (that's next episode!) but it IS a look at the state of the game through the eyes of these two hooligans as we near kickoff for the 2026 college season. And no, guys that are in NFL training camps but might somehow come back to the college game aren't included. Shenanigans.

JP & Dan both sip on another part of the Boulevard barrel aged pack, the Dark Crator Doppelbock. Not usually a style the boys are geeked about, but this one stands out! Another banger from Boulevard! They also talked about a handful of better beers they had before that atrocious light beer challenge last week.

JP & Dan put their (VERY temporary) stakes down for their best fantasy picks for their league, as well as some ideas for yours as we inch closer to the flurry of drafts that will take up the next few weeks. It's about time to sort out your big boards. Clear Rankings, All Brain, Don't lose and end up wearing a sun dress on the busiest corner in town with some silly sign next year.

JP & Dan have never been shy about making fun of themselves or doing something they don't want to do if it'll be hilarious. This episode takes that to another level with their Blind Light Beer Challenge! Eight domestic light beers vie for the title of least terrible. The boys also drink a few somethings better because that beer left a bad taste in their mouth for daaaaaaays.

The boys have been talking beverages all show, and now they share the much better beer they've been drinking while talking about all of the poop. the Boulevard Barrel Aged Irish-Style Imperial Stout. Solid choice if you can find it!

(57:40)-Top Six Seasonal beers if the boys had their own brewery

Dan & JP wrap up their Power Four six packs with their native Big Ten, being michiganders and all. It should come as no surprise that this is their longest episode of the bunch!

(12:03)-Iowa Hawkeyes

(16:09)-Illinois Fighting Illini

(20:04)-Maryland Terrapins

(25:06)-Indiana Hoosiers

(46:30)-Nebraska Cornhuskers

(51:34)-Purdue Boilermakers

(55:00)-Beverage Break

JP sips a bit of the Black Maple Hill, a whiskey with a lot of history! It used to source juice from good ol' Kentucky, then went out to Oregon for a spell as a boutique brand, and is back home as of this year. All that said, the bottle is good...but is it worth the price?!

Dan is way less complicated, drinking the Dock Sitting American IPA from Shorts brewing. It hits all the notes you'd expect from that style, yet stays easy drinking.

(59:34)-Oregon Ducks

(1:06:36)-Rutgers Scarlet Knights

(1:09:23)-University of Southern California Trojans

(1:12:20)-University of California at Los Angeles Bruins

(1:17:45)-Wisconsin Badgers

(1:21:40)-Ohio State Buckeyes

(1:24:32)-Michigan Wolverines

(1:27:27)-Top Six Packs!

JP & Dan head south for the next stop on their six pack prospect tour. It's the conference where it "just means more"! or something like that. Yep, SEC time! Some of these schools were a struggle to cut down to a six pack, some of these schools were a struggle just to find six worth talking about!

(06:47)-Auburn Tigers

(12:57)-Alabama Crimson Tide

(18:20)-Florida Gators

(24:29)-Arkansas Razorbacks

(28:27)-Kentucky Wildcats

(34:03)-Georgia Bulldogs

(39:04)-Mississippi State Bulldogs

(41:50)-Louisiana State Tigers

(45:54)-Beverage Break

JP does a heads up throwdown between two strong contenders for a daily (or at least weekly) sipper. It's E.H. Taylor Small Batch vs Eagle Rare 10yr. Darn near a draw!

Dan sticks to a single beverage, the Three Floyds Cocomongo Bourbon Barrel Aged Coconut Stout. He agreed with JP...it's missing the coconut! Still a good tasting brew though

(52:35)-Missouri Tigers

(56:10)-Ole Miss Rebels

(59:29)-South Carolina Gamecocks

(1:03:14)-Oklahoma Sooners

(1:06:20)-Tennessee Volunteers

(1:20:50)-Top SEC Six Packs!

(1:23:47)-Bourbon Battle Winner

Dan & JP make their second stop on the tour of their favorite six packs of prospects from each of the power four conferences since they started paying attention to the draft. Minus the past four years of the show. That's a whole other mess. Next up? the ACC and all of the associated schools that have been bolted on to it over the years.

(04:58)-Boston College Eagles

(10:37)-Clemson Tigers

(13:45)-California Golden Bears

(19:35)-Duke Blue Devils

(22:19)-Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

(28:19)-Louisville Cardinals

(32:28)-Pittsburgh Panthers

(35:39)-Beverage Break

JP pits a pair of bourbons in an interstate war! Willet's young purple foil vs Hog Back Eclipse out of Colorado. Epic!

Dan is being boring and just drinking a beer. But it's a fun one! Rice King, a fruited sour from Atrium Brewing in Louisville.

(43:33)-Miami Hurricanes

(50:18)-Stanford Cardinal

(53:03)-North Carolina State Wolfpack

(58:41)-Syracuse Orange

(1:01:35)-North Carolina Tar Heels

(1:05:03)-Virginia Tech Hokies

(1:08:23)-Southern Methodist Mustangs

(1:10:31)-Wake Forest Demon Deacons

(1:13:21)-Virginia Cavaliers

Dan & JP threw together one last offseason thought experiment of the offseason. They asked, who really are the best prospects to come out of every FBS team, like, ever?! And then they figured that was waaay too complicated...so what if we just did a conference at a time? And what if we did it from when we started following the draft until we started the show? It was still a mess. Enjoy!

(09:56)-Arizona Wildcats

(14:05)-Arizona State Sun Devils

(17:32)-Cincinnati Bearcats

(20:44)-Baylor Bears

(24:06)-Colorado Buffaloes

(27:14)-Central Florida Knights

(33:29)-Houston Cougars

(36:58)-Beverage Break

JP has himself a nip of the Weller 12 year, trying once again to see where it fits amongst its brethren. Still in the bottom half!

Dan has something whiskey barrel related as well, the Big Bad Baptist Cherry Bliss...is it worth the hefty price tag?!

(45:33)-Texas Christian Horned Frogs

(49:12)-Iowa State Cyclones

(51:30)-Texas Tech Red Raiders
