| 0:46.3 | Welcome to the NFL draft. |
| 0:49.3 | The godfather of the NFL draft. |
| 0:52.3 | I have a right to my opinion. |

| 1:09.4 | That countdown is on just eight days until the NFL draft. |
| 1:13.1 | And we have these brilliant football minds. So lucky to have them on the show today melkiper junior louis riddick booger macfarlane let's get right to it |
| 1:18.4 | with the godfather of the mock draft who released his final two round mock today so mel do the honors |
| 1:24.9 | take us through your top picks. |
| 1:32.4 | You had an easy number one pick overall. We had it for three, four months. Fernando Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders. He about 22 years of age with 35 starts. Three biggest games |
| 1:38.4 | that year, nine touchdowns, no picks, and 75% completion percentage. Is he across between |
| 1:43.5 | Peyton Madding and Matt Ryan? He could be. And for the Raiders, just help him out. And they brought in Tyler Lindelbaum to anchor that line.

| 2:17.2 | You want Arvel Reese who's got that multi-dimensional talent to be off ball and edge. Edge, though, is a projection. It's a leap of faith on talent that he could become a double-digit sack guy once he learns how to rush the passer. Fallback plan would be, hey, off ball, he can maybe be a pro bowler there. So if you want that versatility, it would be R. |
| 2:35.1 | Bell Reese, have him going to Arizona and pick number three. Then it gets really interesting. Where does the best player or second best player on everybody's board? Jeremiah Love, great running back. We could also be a great receiver come off the board. I'd have him in Tennessee because of Cam Ward. Kim Ward showed late this year and mid-season on, he could be an elite quarterback. |
