0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand forty-seven of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Thursday, April 10th, 2025. We now are two weeks away from the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. The first round of the 2025 NFL draft draft. It will take place on Thursday night, April 24th. The commanders on Wednesday morning announced their 2025 draft party. That'll take place
0:40.1	at National Harbor Saturday, April 26, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A third consecutive year that the team is
0:46.8	holding its draft party at National Harbor. You know, there was a time in which the team would hold
0:51.1	its draft parties at FedEx Field. Not no more, although FedEx Field now Northwest
0:56.8	Stadium has gotten at least somewhat better with it and the team being owned by the Josh Harris
1:02.3	Group. Hello and welcome to this Thursday installment of the Al Galdi podcast. The commanders still
1:07.7	have not officially announced the hiring of Wes Welker as personnel analyst.
1:12.2	It was on Monday afternoon that we had reports that the team is hiring Welker for that role.

1:52.4	relationship that Welker and Samuel have, the reality of Samuel's weight issue, the extent
1:58.5	to which Samuel still has upside as a player, the truth about
2:01.9	multiple controversies with Samuel in the 2024 season and more. And Rob will give us his thoughts
2:08.6	on the man who got the most lucrative contract from the commanders and free agency this
2:14.5	offseason, defensive lineman Javan Kinlaw, who played for the Niners for the
2:18.5	20-20-3 seasons. And Rob will give us his take on the contract situation of Niners quarterback
2:25.4	Brock Purdy, Rob Guerrera. Next segment on the Wes Welker Devo Samuel dynamic and more. By the way,
