0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand three hundred eleven of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Sunday, April 26th, 2026. It is an
0:26.4	oh so rare weekend installment of the podcast, a Sunday installment of the podcast, the annual
0:33.4	installment of the podcast on the Sunday of NFL draft weekend. The usual schedule for episodes
0:39.2	of this podcast is a new episode out each weekday, Monday through Friday, with each episode
0:44.1	out by 5 a.m. Eastern, and often much earlier than that, well, this is a bonus episode of the
0:49.9	podcast, what we call a scheduled emergency installment of the podcast, not an emergency installment of the podcast,
0:58.3	no, a scheduled emergency installment of the podcast because never forget, the only thing more
1:04.3	urgent than an emergency installment of the podcast is a scheduled emergency installment of the podcast. Hello and welcome to this Sunday
1:13.2	installment of the Al-Galdi podcast. Good to have you with us. The 2006 NFL draft is complete.
1:20.3	We on Thursday night had round one. We on Friday night had rounds two and three. We on Saturday
1:24.6	afternoon and evening had rounds four through seven. The Washington
1:28.6	Commanders did not make a single trade during the draft. I'm guessing that that was not due to lack of
1:34.6	desire to make a trade. I would think that General Manager Adam Peters wanted to trade down to get
1:39.6	more picks, but no trade ever happened. And so our 2006 Washington Commander's NFL draft class is as follows.
1:47.5	Round one, the number seven overall pick, Ohio State linebacker Sunny Stiles. Round three, the number 71 overall pick,
1:54.2	Clemson receiver Antonio Williams. Round five, the number 147 overall pick. Tennessee edge defender
2:00.5	Joshua Josephs. Round six, the number 187 overall pick Tennessee edge defender Joshua Joseph's round six the number 187 overall pick
2:05.2	Penn State running back katron allen round six the number 209 overall pick Michigan state center
2:11.8	slash guard Matt goulbin and round seven the number 223 overall pick Rutgersgers quarterback, 8th in Calliak Manus.
2:19.8	If you go by the big board of NFL draft analyst Todd McShay of the Ringer, Washington,
2:25.0	over its first four picks in the draft, got great value.
2:28.4	Sunny Stiles, number seven overall pick, number three on McShay's big board.
