| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm your host, Shield Capadia. We've got 10 more draft questions today. We've got bold predictions. We've got player team pairings that we really like in the first round. And then we go over some potentially shocking outcomes where we don't think they're going to happen. |
| 0:25.5 | But hey, what if this actually happened? |
| 0:27.6 | So we're going to run through a bunch of those different scenarios with my friend, |
| 0:30.9 | Deontay Lee, from the Ringer. |
| 0:32.9 | Let's take a break. |
| 0:33.6 | We'll come right back with Deante. |
| 0:47.8 | Music break. We'll come right back with Deante. All right. We are back here on the Ringer NFL show with my friend Deonté Lee. |
| 0:52.5 | Deante, we had so much fun. I thought last week with the Capati of 10 going in a bunch of different directions, I thought, why limit ourselves to one singular theme with the drafts? Let's just run it back. I've got more questions for you about what's going to transpire next week. So that's the exercise today. Now you've had one under your belt. Now we expect you to make |
| 1:11.2 | kind of that set. You know, it's kind of like the second year leap here with this exercise. |
| 1:14.9 | Absolutely. And I'm here to just like encroach on all your Philly special territory. So now that |
| 1:18.9 | I'm here with the shield of fortune, you know, I can kind of stick, stick my finger in the eye |
| 1:22.6 | with Anthony Dubendo, my guy over there. And eventually I'm going to come up with the D Lee three, you know. |
| 1:28.9 | Oh, I like that. Walking all over everybody's territory, so to speak. But now I'm glad to be back. Like you said, it was a bunch of fun just kind of bouncing ideas around. And I think that's reflective of this time of year, right? We're now in the cramming for the test portion. So there's rumors and news flying left and right about |
| 1:45.9 | who wants to trade, who's on a visit to where. What is this team planning to do? Oh, they change |
| 1:50.9 | their evaluation on X, Y, or Z based off of their positional needs. I feel like this pretty |
| 1:55.0 | reflective of where we're at right now. And I think that this exercise captures that effectively. |
| 1:59.7 | And of course, our favorite reports this time of year, |
| 2:01.9 | Deante, T-Mex is making calls or willing to take calls? Unbelievable. Yeah. As well, the GM will be doing |
| 2:10.2 | anything else during this time of year. All right, let's get to it. I've got 10 questions here. |
| 2:15.9 | I tried to hit on a bunch of topics or prospects even that we maybe have not discussed in depth, |
| 2:23.4 | but we'll see where Deonti goes with some of these answers. |
| 2:26.5 | All right, if you missed last week's episode, he just picks a number one to 10. |
