Welcome to a good football show. My name is Pack Rain. Today I'm honored to be joined by

Dean Bruegler of the Athletic Author of the Beast Draft Guide. Just an absolutely invaluable

resource and we're going to be diving into some of the prospects that jumped out to me from

that they're going to reach that status. I think Kenny Pickett could come in tomorrow and

win football games, but he's a type of guy that can lead you to a Super Bowl run.

If the answer is no, then what are we doing here? What's the point of drafting a quarterback

like that? So, you know, Malik Willis, I'm a big believer in his talent, but there's a projection.

They're a big projection in terms of him developing the field vision, the anticipation,

some of these details that it takes to be a winning quarterback in the NFL. And obviously with his
