always an entertaining time always hopefully an informative time for them well. Chance to ask me whatever you want to talk about and then go from there. So a couple of things before I get into the podcast today is I'm curious where you guys are at with all the draft talk because, you know, I'm sure you're getting a little bit numb to it and just kind of like, let's get it over with. I still think there's some topics to discuss as we get closer and we get more information. I did have James Laurenitis on the other day, so I thought he was a really good interview and gave some good insight into Sunny Stiles, Caleb Downs, Arvell Reese, and then a little bit on Carnell Tate as well because he is at Ohio State.

He knows these guys very well and he is competing.

He would, you know, shoot, if you're on defense, you're still competing against the offense and he knows what it takes to see guys make the NFL.

But he was really good on Sunny Stiles in particular.

That's a guy who is clearly on the radar here.

I know they'd like him a lot.

I don't know that that means they'll take him. And that's going to lead into my topic in a minute, which is about the confusion that's going on two weeks out. Also, on Thursday, I'll be talking to Matt Miller from ESPN, draft analysts. If there's something you want to know at this point in the process, what having you heard or what would you like like discussed that maybe hasn't been discussed enough for your liking if there's a couple topics

that you want to hit on let me drop me along and i will see if i can ask them i'll try and get a

couple things in there just to see like because i know what i want to talk about but what do you

still want to know because you're the ones listening you guys are the ones still seeking information just like me to be honest if there do you still want to know because you're the ones listening. You guys are the ones still seeking information just like me, to be honest. If there's something you want to know, hit me up. I am also hoping to talk to a former NFL or somebody who's coach in the league for a while and get there, somebody you know, and hopefully it comes through, but I don't want to say before I get there to talk about like the debate, Jeremiah Love or Colonel Tate. And I talked about this a little bit the other day, but I want to say before I get there to talk about like the debate Jeremiah Love or

Cardinal Tate and I talked about this a little bit the other day but I want to talk

to somebody who's been in the league what it matters and I did talk to some of

a coach today about that I found it was interesting because his point is it's a passing

league so anyways but we'll get into more of that and that's also dependent on are they

equal on your board that is a factor as well. So all that leads into really kind of what's going on for me right now, which is we're about two weeks out from the draft. And again, I think I told you the other day, they're having a local pro-day workout on Wednesday. And, you know, that's, it's just, it's another way, it's kind of way to

circumvent the top 30 visits for the local guys. So they can go here and do some other ones and
