| 0:00.0 | Welcome into today's episode of pushing the pile. |
| 0:09.7 | Mike Renner, joined as always by Kyle Long. |
| 0:13.1 | And today we're going to be going through and drafting the best units from each positional |
| 0:19.1 | group in the NFL to make the best team possible going |
| 0:22.3 | head to head here. So it's quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight end, O line, |
| 0:26.8 | D line, linebackers, DBs, and we even threw in special teams, Kyle, we even through in special |
| 0:31.3 | teamers. So you know how this, you know what we're doing here? I don't know why we're using |
| 0:37.0 | special teams. I'm never going to punt. I'm never going to kick. They can just touch back if they want every time. They may not be drafted very early on, but we'll see. You know, I saw someone hit a 70 yarder here in preseason. That might be, that might come in handy on an NFL field here shortly so we flipped a coin Kyle |

| 1:23.2 | It's going to be the Ravens quarterback unit. I just love Lamar Jackson. He's so tough, such a leader. |
| 1:29.4 | He puts your team in a position to win every week. |
| 1:31.4 | Why would you not pick Lamar Jackson here with the first pick? |
| 1:35.9 | Yeah, I, there's a lot of different strategies for something like this. |
| 1:39.7 | And I don't think you can go wrong attacking what I would say is the most valuable position group in the NFL. |
| 1:45.4 | And that's obviously the quarterback position. |
| 1:47.5 | Lamar, I mean, Josh Allen was the MVP last year. |
| 1:51.3 | He won the award. |
| 1:54.0 | It is impossible to say that Josh Allen was for sure playing the quarterback position better than Lamar was. |
