all right we welcome into the show the only long snapper who has actually ever appeared on

this show joe d leone who does the refino and joe show covering college football in lots of

unique ways i would call it and also n also NFL draft 4A to Z sports.

Welcome back to the show, my friend.

How are your fellow long snappers?

How's the long snapping business today?

I got to admit, we were just talking about the software,

the contingent of long snappers that in college

and those that are still playing that stay in communication with one another. I can't, I don't think I've talked to very many snappers that in college and those that are still playing that stay in communication

with one another. I can't about, I don't think I've talked to very many snappers since I

stopped playing. I've got one guy that I consistently talk to, Donato Crissanti, who is currently

a free agent and he's been getting some looks. But other than that, I don't, I don't keep up

with any snappers anymore. It's disappointing. It is. It is. Well, you are a former college long snapper and now have become a great podcaster and a great analyst. And I wanted to talk a little big picture draft with you because we have reached that point where the initial draft takes start to fire themselves up at the combine and then we all kind of look at our

watch and like okay can we draft i mean now would be good but the nfl has to drag out the coverage

so by you know the middle of april we're looking at fifth round quarterbacks being like i don't

know i think you could be a franchise guy um but i want to talk i want to talk a little theory because there's

been some accepted ideas in the draft universe for a few years after it was initially studied

but i think every draft is its own little snowflake they're all different and they all have

different makeups i am curious about your thought as a real college football watcher, analyst, draft analyst,

about when people talk about positional value, because I spend a lot of time on this in team

building and where the Vikings should spend their assets, first and second round draft picks

that turn into starters.
