#84 - Frugalocity’s Ballhawgs — Value Picks & Mock Draft Madness

<p>This episode of Frugalocity’s Ballhawgs opens with Richard reminding listeners what the show is all about: stretching fantasy draft capital “further than I stretch a gallon of chocolate milk” . The duo — Richard and Connor — dive straight into the heart of Frugalocity: finding value picks that dramatically outperform their draft cost.</p><p><br></p><p>🎯 Richard’s Value Picks — The Frugalocity Core</p><p>Richard kicks off the value discussion with four players he believes are two to three rounds better than their ADP, the exact definition of Frugalocity drafting.</p><p>1. Chris Godwin — WR, Tampa Bay</p><p>Richard calls Godwin “perpetually undervalued” and compares drafting him to finding a $40 shirt for $11.99. </p><p>2. Romeo Doubs — WR, New England</p><p>Richard and Connor both agree he’s a steal in rounds 13–15. Connor notes that people still think of him as a Green Bay WR3, but New England paid him and plans to use him heavily. Doubs was “the most consistent receiver in Green Bay,” often delivering 10–15 points even in limited roles.</p><p>3. Baker Mayfield — QB, Tampa Bay</p><p>Richard highlights Baker’s early‑season production last year and believes pairing him with weapons like Emeka Egbuka and Godwin gives him real upside. </p><p>4. Rhamondre Stevenson — RB, New England</p><p>A controversial pick between Richard and Connor. Richard argues Stevenson is still the primary back and a value in rounds 7–8. Connor counters that T. Henderson is younger, more explosive, and likely to take over. </p><p><br></p><p>Richard also mentions Jacory Croskey-Merritt (“Bill”) as a bonus value pick — a starting RB available in double‑digit rounds.</p><p><br></p><p>🔥 Connor’s Value Picks — “The Right Undervalued Picks”</p><p>Connor arrives with swagger, noting that his picks match Adam Schefter’s undervalued list — “because I know ball.”</p><p>His list includes:</p><p>1. Jalen Waddle — WR, Miami</p><p>A proven 1,000‑yard receiver going in rounds 5–6. Connor sees huge upside with Bo Nix slinging the ball and Waddle healthy.</p><p><br></p><p>2. J. Price — RB, Seattle</p><p>The new RB1 with Charbonnet injured. Connor believes Price’s college pedigree and Seattle’s run‑heavy scheme make him a strong mid‑round value.</p><p><br></p><p>3. Jordan Mason — RB, Minnesota</p><p>Both hosts agree Mason is a major value. He averaged 5 yards per carry, fits Minnesota’s new zone‑run scheme, and has a clear path to touches behind an aging Aaron Jones.</p><p><br></p><p>4. Tyler Shoug
