It's the beating the book podcast, Gil Alexander, live from Circa, which I don't believe

we've ever done a podcast from Circa before.

We did it from the D all football season.

But obviously, for those watching the video clip on this, look at the background.

Look how great this place is.

It's unbelievable here at Circa Sports.

And thrilled to have a All-Star cast to talk about the draft.

First of all, my partner on Primetime Action, which we do Monday through Friday night, sometimes on MSG Plus. Sometimes not. It's Matt Brown. How you doing, Matt? Doing well. Doing well. During football season, MSG Plus, outside of that. That's how we should start saying it, right? That's how exactly that we should start saying it. And then with the Circa backdrop, the nighttime dusk circuit backdrop from the Deep Dive podcast is Drew Dinsig. How are you doing, man? I'm doing well, man. We're a week out from the draft. This time of year is super fun. Love all of the looking into the crystal ball of who's going to do what in the draft. This is what it's all about.

Dude, I cannot wait.

We are exactly one week away from the NFL draft, and we'll go through everybody's favorite picks here, favorite props that they've already bet, obviously on this show. I saved the best for last. I was going to introduce him first, but he went off camera for a second, so I wanted to make sure he had time to get in his seat. He is the host of Lombardi line at Vison.

He has a podcast of his own with Adnan Vert called GM Shuffle. The name of the book is Gridiron Genius. He writes for the Athletic. He has worked with all the greats. Not all the greats. Again, no Joe Gibbs, but Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick, Al Davis. It's Michael Lombardy. Thank you for doing this, Michael. Appreciate it. No problem. It's nice to be here. Thank you. It's good to be here. Michael, let me start with you. Before we get into all our props, let me start with the top of the draft. Because in many respects, this is, I think, the most confusing, maybe not confusing, but the draft that I probably know the least about one through six a week out in recent memory. If you are

okay with Trevor, not okay with, but if you believe Trevor Lawrence is absolutely going number

one, by the way, the surest thing in this draft is Trevor Lawrence tweeting out that he's

already donating to Jacksonville charity. So he is going number one. By the way, the surest thing in this draft is Trevor Lawrence tweeting out that he's already donating to Jacksonville charity. So he is going number one. If you believe

Zach Wilson is going number two, though, to the Jets, where are a week out do you stand? And you've

been very consistent about this on three. Let's start there. You know, I think let's start with this

idea for the better.

If you want to play props and you want to use mock drafts as kind of a guideline for

your prop betting, I think you have to be strategic in looking at each mock.

For example, if you want to know what the Rams are going to do in the draft or perhaps San Francisco,

read Peter Schrager's mock because he's pretty wired in those organizations.
