| 0:42.0 | Two away from 50 Rick of a math correct. I'm Ryan Wilson. That's our general manager, Rick Spillman, who has more than 30 |
| 0:48.0 | years of editorial experience, including a decade as a Viking general manager. |
| 0:52.0 | Today, we are somehow talking about the 2024 draft class, specifically my 24 mock draft, which came out on Monday. |
| 1:00.0 | You can see it on the site. If you want to have a good chuckle and to help us discuss a bunch of players, we get to watch Mr. |
| 1:06.0 | Tom Ford Nellie, one of the co-hosts of the cover 30 podcast, the best college football podcast on planet Earth. |

| 1:58.0 | And that's why we have Tom here. |
| 2:01.0 | Yeah, I will. I started doing mocks from CBS sports.com a few years ago, and I thought at the time, like I like I already did them on my own kind of in my head. |
