| 0:28.2 | forgot this time of year. It's very easy to forget things like that. So I was early in the week, |
| 0:33.5 | I finished that. But yeah, we're on the home stretch. I think just one day over a week away from the 2026 NFL draft. So a lot of excitement, especially for the dolphins, a lot of capital to use and infuse the roster with talent. So happy to be back with you here. Yeah, absolutely. I try to get mine done like in February just because I know I'll forget. So like once I get everything sent to me, just get it out of the way with the taxes. |
| 0:54.5 | That's the right way to do it. Because I know me. I know I will forget if I just let it drag on. But yeah, we're about eight days away from the draft. Miami's going to be very active, especially on their Friday. Well, even on Thursday as well with two picks, should they hold on to both those picks? So we got a lot to talk about real quick. |

| 2:02.5 | I think that's a spot Miami could go here at Pick 11. All right. Let's start with the offensive line. I want to start specifically with offensive |
| 2:02.0 | tackles. I think that's a spot Miami could go here at Pick 11, all depending on how the |
| 2:06.8 | draft board works. I think there's three guys who could be the first offensive linemen |
| 2:12.9 | off the board. Monroe Freeling, Frances Maunaoa, Spencer Fanon. Who do you think will be the first offensive lineman off the board. Monroe Freeling, Francis Maillanoa, Spencer Fano. Who do you think will be the first |

And I think there's a good chance that he becomes a top 10 pick, maybe even as high as the Browns in the top 10, looking at the physical framework that he brings to the table. |
| 2:54.9 | Obviously, you know, you watch the film. |
| 2:56.7 | He's not quite a top 10 guy for me, more of a top 20. |
| 2:59.5 | I think he's my 19th overall prospect. |
| 3:01.6 | But being 6'7, around 320, near 35 inch arms, having the elite athletic profile that he has, and also the |
