| 0:02.5 | Brian Padda, Senior Defensive Lyman from Miami. |
| 0:12.9 | Gunned down. |
| 0:14.3 | The key to this case, it's Brian. |
| 0:17.2 | A hour before he died, he was on the phone, arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. Biggest one of conviction. Being placed him to arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now. Mock drafts so nice, we had to break it down twice. Meld Kuiper Jr. and I are covering the rest of my latest mock. That's all of round |
| 0:38.9 | two, and it's coming up. Plus, we're responding to your questions, your takes, and your draft |
| 0:43.3 | dreams live as first draft starts right now. Welcome into first draft. We are live on the NFL |
| 0:50.6 | on ESPN YouTube channel, also on ESPN 2 and wherever you get your podcast. |
| 0:56.5 | He is Mel, Kuiper Jr. I am Field Yates. Mel, I got to be honest with you. The reception |
| 1:03.3 | since the mock draft went out was that maybe it was the greatest mock draft in the history of |
| 1:07.8 | mock drafts. Would you say you felt the same way? I'm glad you liked your mock draft field. I'm glad you're happy with it. We'll pick apart a little bit of the second round. We did the first round already. But everybody feels good about what they do to an extent, field, to an extent, because you always have, I wouldn't say regrets on what you did, but some second guessing of your own mock, because you're |
| 1:27.9 | always going to have two or three options for each team. It is a puzzle because you put a guy here. You always say, field, you do this. If I have him here, it would be perfect. So can I drop them down? Can I force them down a little bit? Because then if I don't have them there, this team is going to be in a tough spot. Then I got to maybe project the trade. You did project trades, I believe, |

| 2:11.2 | My goal in this mock draft, and listen, I would love it if these went 64 for 64. |
| 2:16.1 | That's not going to happen, though though now. My goal was to place |
