And a happy Thursday to you and yours he's Andrew Gribble. I'm Jason Gibbs and we welcome you to the debut of the BPA Podcast, otherwise known as the best podcast available. It's the first of 11 episodes

as we count you down and get you ready

for the 2019 NFL draft.

Coming up on today's episode,

NFL networks Charles Davis joins us to preview the NFL Combine.

We play a little factor fiction with the Z that stands for Zagura and we take a look at the latest

mock drafts and so much more but first off Grims it's officially draft season and it feels a little

strange here in Berea because well we don't have the top pick in this year's draft

and we have our quarterback.

Yeah you know this is an interesting time to introduce a draft podcast because in years past, you know, this was especially last year.

You're talking about the Browns entering the draft with the number one pick, the number four pick, and all sorts of ammunition and assets in those first couple rounds and it really did kind of set this team up for great success in the following years.

Now, you know, the Browns are right in the middle

at number 17 with this year's draft.

I mean, as low as this team has been in the draft pre-trades. They've drafted lower than 17

after a series of trades, unfortunate trades typically that have brought them down to that

level, but as low as they've been in years going into a draft, but you also do have a decent amount of picks with 10 picks.

The most notable extra pick being that Patriot's third rounder, which happens to be near the end of the

third round now but having that kind of artillery it might not be ten picks by the

time we get to the draft I think John Dor Dorsey can make some moves here to potentially

add more talent to this team but a year you go into a draft of 10 picks that's a

draft you should be excited about it especially when you have the

general manager with the track record that John Dorsey has. It is definitely exciting.
