and now your hosts dain brugler david helman and brian brought us well welcome once

again to the draft show.

The day before the NFL draft takes place in Philadelphia, Brian brought us with

Dame Bruegler, David Helman.

This is our annual mock draft, the seven-round cowboy mock draft that we've done the last few years to try and

give you an idea of what direction this thing might go.

And last year seemed pretty simple with the fourth overall pick to try and figure out what

direction, because you dictate, when you're picking that high, you dictate where everything is going to happen or how it's going to happen. But at 28's a little bit different story. If I'm not mistaken, I think we went Jalen Ramsey last year. Yeah, we did. I believe so. So, I mean, you just... You never know. You never know. Even at four, you never know. You never, you just never know. And that's what these teams are dealing with right now as they sit in their war rooms and they're, you know, whether they're doing mock drafts or making calls, whatever they're doing. They're trying to figure this thing out and who will go where there's so many I mean I'm

talking to people I know you guys are too talking to so many people and it's just really really

confusing in a way I mean it is and you said it yesterday you hate the you hate the whole this whole

week leading up to the draft because you want to believe, you want to believe,

you know, something initially heard and then it's something just totally turns it away,

turns it the other direction. I made this analogy last week on Twitter, and I think it's very

fitting. It reminds me of studying for tests in college. I know it's been a while since you were in

college, Brian, but you're in a while. know it's been a while since you were in college,

but you're in a while. You like study, you know, you study a little bit in the weeks ahead of time and you study more and more. And then like the day of the test gets there and maybe the test isn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, but you've got all day to like look over and like you know it or you don't know it. Either way, it's kind of too late to do anything about it. And you just

sitting there second-guessing yourself just to like look over and like you know it or you don't know it. Either way, it's kind of too late to do anything about it.

And you're just sitting there second guessing yourself, just wanting it to happen, waiting for it to happen. Yeah, you don't want to be surprised. Yeah, exactly. And that's what, we talked about that yesterday on the show, the curb balls that some of these teams have gotten with the, you know, the Conley information, with peppers, you know, the medical stuff.
