0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show.
0:09.0	I am Bill Barnwell.
0:10.0	Today, it's our own way of recapping the NFL draft by paying attention to what teams may have forgotten to do in the three-day period of the NFL draft.
0:24.8	Joining me to talk about that is a man who talked with a couple of friends, Nate Tice and
0:31.5	Dane Brugler, for how many hours of draft coverage? Virtually uninterrupted did you do?
0:38.5	I think the combined length of our two live draft streams was about 11 hours.

1:33.2	bathroom. That was, that was great. Were you allowed to go to the bathroom? I was allowed to go to
