Chuck Bass advocated spending a third-round pick on Lamar Jackson, explaining he wants players who are 'firmly one of the three best at their position.' Bass said Jackson is 'just like waking up and dropping 35 touchdowns every year now' and announced he has pivoted away from waiting on mid-tier quarterbacks such as Justin Fields, Drake Maye, and Dak Prescott. In Bass’s view, locking in Jackson’s weekly ceiling and rushing floor is the cleaner path to a BBM6 finals roster than hoping a later QB pops.

Chuck Bass pushed back on Saquon Barkley’s recent slide into the mid-first round, blaming returning 'casuals' for the discount. Bass called age and offensive-line worries 'stupid stuff' and said drafters should not let Travis Etienne jump Barkley in ADP again. Nothing about Barkley’s projected workload has changed since the spring when sharp drafters had him locked inside the top six, so Bass encouraged scooping him up wherever he falls.

Chuck Bass said Jahmyr Gibbs is the one back 'never going to take a backseat in Detroit' no matter who is calling plays or blocking for him, and he used that role security to justify grabbing Gibbs at pick 1.06 in the Best Ball Mania 6 draft. Bass framed Gibbs as a uniquely safe first-round running back because neither a coordinator change nor offensive line volatility will threaten his touch share.
