And away we go, episode one thousand three hundred nine of the Al-Galdli podcast. It is Thursday, April 23rd, 2006. It is the day of the first round of the 2006 NFL draft in which the Washington commanders have the number seven overall pick. We on Thursday night, at last, we'll find out what our team does with that number seven overall pick.

Will Washington stick and pick? Will Washington trade down? Will Washington trade up?

We don't think that Washington will trade up. I'd be shocked if Washington traded up.

But who knows? Who knows what general manager Adam Peters is thinking? Is cooking up? Hashtag let Adam cook.

I'm this podcast that focused on draft coverage on eight guys. Notre Dame running back, Jeremiah Love.

Ohio State receiver Cornell Tate. Ohio State safety, Caleb Downs. Ohio State edge defender slash linebacker Arvel Reese.

Ohio State linebacker Sunny Stiles,

University of Miami edge defender Rubin Bain Jr., Texas Tech edge defender David Bailey,

and LSU cornerback, Monsore Delane. I would think that the player who Washington picks at

seven, if the commander stick and pick at seven, will come from that group of eight. But again, who knows?

My official prediction if Washington does stay at seven is that the commanders take Cornell

Tate. One of the rising things to look at when it comes to sports and politics are the outlets

that make up what is called the prediction market. Calci is an

internet-based prediction market platform based in New York City. It's mainly used for sports

betting, but Calci as of Wednesday morning, had Washington and the Cleveland Browns at 6 as the

co-favorants to draft Cornell Tate 21%. Make of that what you will.

The last time that Washington used a number seven overall pick in an NFL draft, the pick was, do you know,

cornerback champ Bailey. We hope whoever the team takes at seven on Thursday night,

if the team doesn't trade down, works out as well as Bailey did, although,

of course, a lot of his great work came with the Denver Broncos. Hello and welcome to this

Thursday installment of the Al-Galdi podcast on which we talk Washington commanders on every

episode, no matter the time of year. A new episode is out each weekday morning, Monday through Friday,
