0:00.0	And away we go, episode 1,310 of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Friday, April 24th, 2026.
0:27.6	With the seventh pick in the 2026 NFL draft, the Washington commanders select
0:34.7	Sonny Stiles, linebacker, Ohio State.
0:42.6	And there it was the announcement from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in Pittsburgh
0:47.1	on Thursday night as we had the first round of the 2006 NFL draft.

1:52.2	installment of the Al-Galdi podcast on which we talk Washington commanders on every episode,
1:57.8	no matter the time of year. A new episode is out each weekday morning, Monday through
2:01.7	Friday by 5 a.m. Eastern, and often much earlier than that. And, oh, by the way, there will be a
2:08.4	special Sunday installment of this podcast, the annual installment of the podcast on the Sunday
