| 1:07.2 | He's an NFL draft analyst or an NFL analyst for CBS Sports and he's on HQ. And I just got to say this, JP, I came across your work way before you joined CBS. I came across your work just on Twitter. You were breaking down tape and I love the way you broke down the game. And I just had you in my mind. And then I found out because we're not as connected on the fantasy side. We're not as connected to what goes on with CBS sports on the football side and on the draft side. |
| 1:30.5 | But I was talking to Adi, who's one of our bosses over at CBS sports, and he's like, we're really going to expand the draft. And then I saw we hired Mike Renner. I was like, that's awesome. And I saw we hired you. And I was like, hell yeah, let's go. We're getting film guys in here to break down the draft for us. |
| 1:44.1 | And it's been really exciting to watch you guys blossom. |

| 1:56.2 | And you could find a lot of content over at CBS Sports with pushing the pile. |
| 1:59.8 | You can find content on your Twitter. Just breakdowns that the listeners want, the kind of breakdowns the listeners want.

And Nick can attest to that as well. So today what we're doing is a fun show, JP. This is one of our favorite shows. Nick and I do one of these every year. It's called a my guys show where we break down some of our favorite prospects. Prospects we think should be going drafted higher than the consensus says right now. Guys, we would pound the table for. So we got a whole list of your my guys, JP. I want to get right into it unless there's anything you want to say. I'm just going to go in the order you have them listed in. And I want to start with our Mason Thomas, the edge out of Oklahoma. We've been hearing a lot about him since the combine. What are your thoughts on him?
