| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. It's Adam Kaplan here for Inside the Birds. We're doing our first audio and visual. You could call it NFL mock draft. We'll do 32 picks. It's only one round. I don't do two |
| 0:22.8 | rounds or three rounds. I mean, I know some people do all seven rounds, but I do one round, |
| 0:28.2 | which I've done for 20-some-odd years. But this is the first time I've ever done in audio and video |
| 0:32.9 | once. It's going to be pretty cool. Something different. We're trying here at Inside the Birds. And let's get started, folks. |
| 0:38.5 | Let's get right into it. |
| 0:40.3 | And I don't just a couple of disclaimers. |
| 0:42.1 | I do not do trades in these draft, although I will talk about when we discuss other considerations about the potential of a trade. |
| 0:51.3 | But I don't do trades in these things. |
| 0:52.7 | I just give you an idea. I'm talking |
| 0:54.5 | to people around the league about how they see the rosters of these teams. And remember, when you look, |
| 1:02.0 | when evaluate a roster, just like general managers do and front offices do, they're not drafting for |
| 1:07.7 | one year. They're drafting for the future. The mock is never about one year. It's about the future with an eye on the current year. And that's really the way you should look at this. |
| 1:16.4 | So when you see some of these picks, you go, wait a minute, they're not addressing this, this and this and this. |
| 1:20.3 | For my team to win, they've got to do this. It's not that your team doesn't know that they have this need for this season, but they're not drafting just for |
| 1:27.9 | the season. They're drafting for the future, again, with an eye on this season. It's a little different |
| 1:31.7 | than you think sometimes. And when I first started coming to the league in the early 2000s, |
| 1:36.2 | I didn't really know that. I made a number of mistakes trying to do these mock drafts because |
| 1:40.4 | I was just drafting for the current year. I just didn't realize that, oh, you know what? I better start looking towards the future contracts, by the way, |
| 1:46.5 | are taken to account. Future contracts or decisions have to be made where they might have to cut |
| 1:51.6 | a player after the seasons or trade them. So you have to take that into consideration. |
| 1:55.5 | But let's get started with the first pick overall, goes to the Tennessee Titans. And I'm sure their front office, namely Chad Brinker and Mike Burgundy, do not want to be in this position again to have the first pick overall. |
| 2:08.7 | I know a lot of fans think they should trade down. |
