0:00.0	Alex Leatherwood released one year after being the 17th overall pick, a big trade for Philly, and what's going on in northern Florida.
0:15.5	Hi again, everyone. He's Tony Wiggins. I'm James Irpene. Welcome in to a Wednesday edition of Locked-on NFL.
0:21.9	Tuesday was cut down day, and we have a lot to get to. A quick reminder in a thank you for making
0:28.3	us your first list. And make sure you subscribe on YouTube or follow wherever you get your
0:33.0	podcast for daily NFL content here on Locked on NFL. And Tony, let's dive on in because this Alex

1:35.8	17th overall pick isn't on your roster a year later.
1:38.4	It's a super whiff.
1:39.5	And it goes back to how poorly Mike Mayock and John Gruden were as general managers of that team.
1:49.3	It's just, it's terrible.
1:50.8	And the thing is, we're saying all of that.
