and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here along with

CBS Sports Draft analyst Krista Trappasso and it is the final mock down.

It's the last pod we're doing before the draft.

We will do one more and that will complete your duties for draft season,

although we do get together periodically, otherwise.

But this is it. I mean, this is the final look at what the first round of the NFL

draft is going to be like. The final look at what the board might be when the Vikings get there.

So the only rule I think, Chris, is that we're going to try to project what they'll actually do as opposed to what they should do, but I feel like we'll include that in our

commentary for this draft. So are you excited, sir? You have put in so much work all year long,

you've grinded tape, you've graded 10,000 players, and now it all comes to fruition.

I'm really excited. Like, I think last episode or the one before I had like draft fatigue where I was just

ready for it to be here it's a different feeling it's like a buzz during draft

week and I'm hoping that the I don't want to call it a curse but like the

purple insider thing that always happens where you record a

podcast and then it becomes instantly obsolete because there's some crazy news. I'm hoping this is one time I'm actually hoping for it because it would be so hilarious.

If we do this first round mock and then that Redditor was ultimately right and Will Levis becomes like the Vegas favorite to be the number one overall pick and we're like picking

Bryce Young to the Carolina Panthers potentially and it's obsolete by the

morning that would be actually a really funny I think that this happens every

year that there's some real goofy stuff that comes out just before the draft and oftentimes it doesn't make any difference but there's always draft day surprises last Last year was full of them.

It wasn't just the quarterbacks.

There was full of players who we thought

weren't gonna be taken as high.
