| 0:00.0 | First round pick concerns. |
| 0:02.3 | There might be a lot of them. |
| 0:03.3 | We'll talk about it right now on FFT Express. |
| 0:09.4 | Yeah, you know, I was thinking about this topic. |
| 0:11.9 | First round pick concerns is like, everybody? |
| 0:16.4 | Not quite, but not. |
| 0:18.7 | McCaffrey, injured. |
| 0:21.0 | Tyree kill, we're not too concerned. But hand injury, it's 30. People care about that. Lamb, Chase, yep. Bejohn, we don't ever talk about that one. I actually want to start with that one. All to talk about Tyler Alger and how involved he'll be. What do you make of that with Bijan Robinson? |
| 0:42.6 | So the projection that I saw was 16 rush attempts per game for Bejohn, which is 272 rush attempts for the season. |
| 0:43.5 | And I have him projected for 274, and he's my number three pick overall. |

| 1:20.1 | I don't, I think if anything, the Eagles will more likely to pass more than they did last year than less. |
| 1:26.1 | And neither Jalen Hertz or Kellyn Moore have had a high running back target share in their past. So I don't think that he's going to impact A.J. Brown. And I don't think there's any way that Saquan Barkley should be going before A.J. Brown, which he is in CBS drafts. Right. So he would be a headliner of your first round pick concerns. |
| 1:45.1 | The most concerned I am about any first round pick would be Sequin Barclay. |
| 1:49.9 | Where are you on Christian McCaffrey right now? |
| 1:55.8 | He's still my number one overall pick. |
| 1:58.6 | I am tempted to put Brees and jean ahead of him but I mean you |
