James makes his third-round pick in a $400 NFBC Draft Champions live on the air

Jordan Rosenblum (@RosenJordanBlum) discusses why he's so high on Spencer Torkelson, his much-discussed pairing of four old aces, how he utilizes projection systems, and staying on brand with Alejandro Kirk
Michael Richards (@MPRichards1981) discusses how his dynasty approach has changed, overcoming past biases with Cedric Mullins, buying low on Andrew Vaughn and Corbin Carroll's path to being the No. 1 prospect
Nate Handy (@pitchingspecs) discusses why Luis Robert was an easy call with the eighth pick, going against the grain with his pitching strategy and gives an interesting comp for Alex Kirilloff
Andrew McMahon (@amac22nj) discusses Alek Manoah's potential, why Ke'Bryan Hayes should bounce back, and his love for Harrison Bader and Keibert Ruiz
Ben Wilson (@TBDubbs11) discusses targeting plate appearances, Adley Rutschman's future role, getting a steal on Patrick Sandoval and pairing Brayan Rocchio with Brett Baty

RotoWire Dynasty Mock, Part 2
Phil Goyette (@PhilOfSports) discusses his first-round selection of Jacob deGrom, his win-now strategy, getting Jonathan India in the fourth round and some underrated hitting prospects with strong power projections.
Chris Maher (@BaseballPods) talks about using the mock to update his top 500 dynasty rankings and discusses why Manny Machado is underrated, pivoting to older players, getting in at the end of the closer run and his love for Austin Wells.
James Anderson (@RealJRAnderson) discusses his leap of faith with Cody Bellinger in the fourth round, driving the Jesus Sanchez bandwagon, gambling on Luis Severino and Tanner Houck, and why he loves Nick Yorke and Rowdy Tellez.
Jake Wiener (@GatorSosa) talks about buying low on post-hype players, the need to not forget about early pitching, Daulton Varsho's upside, why he's still in on Casey Mize and why Daniel Espino might be his favorite pitching prospect.

RotoWire Dynasty Mock, Part 1
Matt Williams (@MattWi77iams) discusses his Mookie Betts/Xander Bogaerts 1-2 start, Freddy Peralta's ceiling and his risky pitching staff.
Dylan White (@The__Arrival) discusses how his projections inform his draft strategy, getting sniped on Shane Baz, a willingness to pay up for catchers and closers and why Luis Garcia (WAS) is just scratching the surface of his potential.
Chris Clegg (@RotoClegg) discusses his Sandy Alcantara/Max Fried 1-2 rotation punch, taking Josh Jung inside the top 100, having a win-now mentality and avoiding pitching prospects.
Lucas Biery (@lucasbiery33) discusses his hitter-heavy build, playing for Year 2 and getting high-upside hitting prospects in the middle rounds.
Mark Barry (@hoodieandtie) discusses why he took Wander Franco at 1.11, buying distressed assets and his three-headed pitching monster.
