Monday, August 13th, 2018
Todd shows you what you can learn from looking at other mock drafts in this edition of the Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast.

If you’d like to receive an invite to be an owner (+1’s are also welcome although they do not draft), make sure you listen to details in this podcast and send your information to ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.
