| 0:00.0 | Hey, hello and welcome to episode 416 of the official establish the run.com podcast. |
| 0:21.0 | My name is Adam Levittan joined by two of our top strategists here at ETR and Mike |
| 0:26.3 | Leoni and Jack Miller. Leoni, how's it going today? It's going well excited to dive into |
| 0:32.4 | the draft strategy. Jack, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Things are going well excited |
| 0:39.0 | for for redraft season. It's officially here. Jack is coming to you live from his college |
| 0:44.0 | dorm room, which makes me sick as I will be celebrating my 40th birthday next week. But anyways, |
| 0:47.9 | I digress on today's show. We're going to talk about how to win your draft from picks one through |
| 0:52.8 | four. Otherwise, in other words, if you have pick one, pick two, pick three or four, what should |
| 0:56.6 | our strategy be? If you want the full breakdown on this and continuous updates that come throughout |
| 1:01.6 | the next few weeks as we get set for week one, be sure you have our draft kit. We are tracking |

| 1:43.0 | tier drop after four. We have Christian McCaffery, we have Jonathan Taylor, Cooper Cup, Justin |
| 1:49.6 | Jefferson, and I think, you know, as much as I like Jamar Chase and also necklace and some of |
| 1:53.2 | these other guys, I think there is a tier drop after those first four. So taking the back end of |
| 1:57.0 | that pick four is my favorite spot to draft. You also get I think a pretty good selection of guys |
