Mike Renner and J.P. Acosta coming to you for the next hour.

0:16.7

And JP, we are way away from the 2027 NFL draft, but this is for the diehards this episode.

0:24.2

This is for the people that live it year round like you and me.

0:28.5

We're doing a little 2027 NFL draft preview.

0:32.9

If you've heard anything about this class, you know from trade deadline of last year that this was factoring

into how teams are approaching their futures. They believe that this is going to be a special

draft class at what I would say is the valuable positions. I think there are some edge rushers,
