Way-Too-Early Fantasy Mock Draft

WE GOT SOME QB PLAY TO TALK ABOUT! We break down Will Levis' NFL debut as well as commend the Commanders for turning things around. Should we be finding a new NFC team to crown the top dog after the Eagles and Niners both showed weakness? Why are we acting like the Chargers beat the Chiefs??? IT WAS THE BEARS! And don't worry, I clown the Raiders every chance I get! Plus, another edition of NFL Connections! All this and more in this week's episode of "The First Thing."

After a two-week break, forgive me please, WE BACK! Another jam-packed episode but only 30 minutes! Easier to digest and more highlight moments per minute!! We talk about why people are forgetting the true importance of a stellar defense. We breakdown the Thielen and Sanders situation in Carolina as well as tackle the Eric Bienemy conversation... We preview some great games coming up next week including an unexpected division matchup and, of course, the Chargers. All this in more in a new episode of "The First Thing."

HOLY QUARTERBACK STRUGGLES. We breakdown Tua, Burrow, Herbert, Fields, Baker & Kirk! Are the Chargers who we thought they were and are the Patriots the best losers in the NFL? Ravens win big on the road with an injured secondary and O-line. And don't look now but the Week 3 late window looks gross... A familiar face (already) puts together a pitiful fantasy performance PLUS it's time for our second edition of NFL Connections!! So make sure to listen to the end for all this and more on this week's episode of "The First Thing."

Annddd we're back. And everything went just as expected right... right? We talk Lions backfield and Lawrence dominance as well as Tua out-dueling Herbert on the road. Will AR win rookie of the year? I rant about the new Sunday Ticket and breakdown my DFS lineup in our Fantasy Football segment. Speaking of segments, we debut a BRAND NEW segment on the show that is sure to get your mind working. All this as well as a preview of week 2 & MORE on this week's episode of "The First Thing."

Time to breakdown my TOP 5 most underrated NFL off-season moves of the past couple months. This list is made up of moves that may have gotten some coverage when they happened but have since been forgotten about or not talked about enough. I am here to provide the coverage these moves deserve, as well as give some new perspectives that were not thoroughly discussed when the news first broke! Another episode jam packed with hot NFL news, notes and take that you can only find here on "The First Thing!" 

Have the Raven's done enough? What makes this season a success? In this episode I do my annual breakdown of my Baltimore Ravens. Bias aside, I will hit on our free agent acquisitions and departures as well as touch on our 2023 draft class. We'll discuss expectations for this offense under new OC Todd Monken and how Lamar now has nowhere to hide... Make sure to follow me on Twitter @CARavens for more all-things NFL!

Annddd we're back! One season and 25 tremendous episodes later has brought us back together. "The First Thing" with Jose Flores is here for another NFL season to provide you with unfiltered and unique takes all year long. The first show of our double-episode season launch focuses on NFL players that, like me, are entering their sophomore year. How will we grade all 32 teams' draft classes after a one-year sample size? And how do we project them to develop over time?? Who is bound for a sophomore slump!?! ARE WE HEADED FOR A SOPHOMORE SLUMP???? Nah, our second season around the track will be a surge. So, make sure you tune in weekly for more!

I navigate through the truth, the speculation and the blatant lies being spewed and allow you to form your own educated opinion on the matter. Allow this to be an all-access guide through the current Lamar Jackson saga.
