Welcome in to the two for one draft podcast Austin Gill here with Mike Renner for our debut episode. I'm pretty excited. I think

we're going to get into a lot of draft, a lot of prospects, also a lot of

NFL rookies, but before we get into all the names, all the good stuff, we got to talk

going to be all of a sudden our highest graded quarterback in the draft. We want to

find out what are the aspects of each position that translate best from college into the NFL and that's been

the biggest thing that's evolved if you've followed us in the five years of doing
