0:00.0	And away we go! Episode 548 of the Algaldi podcast, it is Wednesday, April 12, 2023, the
0:27.0	day after a most interesting trade in the NFL was agreed on. The Detroit Lions are
0:35.0	trading corner Jeff Okuda to the Atlanta Falcons for a fifth round pick in the
0:41.5	2023 NFL draft. The Lions took Okuda a corner out of Ohio State with the number
0:48.6	three pick in the 2020 draft. The Redskins of course took Chase Young and Edged
0:55.2	Defender at of Ohio State with the number two pick in the 2020 draft. Neither Buckeye
1:02.2	has had the NFL career that he has wanted to have so far. The Skins in case you haven't
1:07.5	heard, now are known as the commanders. The commanders have until May 1st to exercise the

1:57.0	that conversation. Bijon Robinson, the running back at a Texas, would have the most hyped
2:02.8	running backs for an NFL draft in years. There are those who want the commanders to take
2:08.5	Bijon Robinson with their number 16 overall pick in the draft. Heck, Bijon Robinson has
2:14.6	been mucked to the commanders as in muck drafted by the commanders. He is talented no doubt.
2:22.4	He has the potential to be a great NFL running back, but should our commanders give it all
2:28.1	that we know about the position of value of running back really truly be open to taking
2:34.7	Bijon Robinson in the first round of the draft. Next segment, a special guest, a running
