is with us. Ben is a multi-time mock draft champion. He'll explain shortly about the contest that he

enters every year. His mock is final. We'll get to that in a moment. But, you know, there are a lot

And that's where Washington is facing. On the one hand, a lot of the prospects

fit what we would consider to be some of their bigger need areas, wide receiver, the secondary,

more pass rushers. But again, there's not a lot of like, ooh, this guy is, you know,
