You always follow the money.

That's what I always say.

You always follow the money.

This is Follow the Money with Mitch Moss and Polly Howard on VSEN.

We are live, as always, in downtown Las Vegas from the Circa Resort and Casino busy hour coming up.

The maestro, Mike Palm, on the program.

He is the VP of this great property in 15 minutes.

We'll talk about NHL series prices at that time. More NFL draft at the back end of the hour. And that's where we are going to begin as we go out to the progressive guest line. Jacob Infante joins the program. He is with Windy City Gridiron and the Pro Football and Sports Network. Jacob, thanks for the time today. How are you? I'm doing great.

I appreciate you guys for having me.

Yep.

So we'll get into the draft overall. You also, as I mentioned, cover the Chicago Bears. Let's start there because they are minus 130 to take a defensive lineman or an edge player with their first pick overall in the draft. And right now they're slotted at number 25. But before we get into that, I think we have to ask about their chances of getting Dexter Lawrence, maybe this offseason and how that can, in fact, impact who they would take. What would you put the chances of this team actually getting Lawrence here coming up soon? So I feel like if the Giants actually do trade Dexter Lawrence, I feel like Chicago has definitely got to be one of the frontrunners.

I mean, they were in on Max Crosby, ultimately Baltimore outbid them, and then the trade fell apart.

And then, you know, things just kind of reached a stopping point in that regard.

So when I see Lawrence, I see a rare nose tackle type who's really good at putting pressure on the

quarterback. And I think that's something that Chicago really struggled with along the interior and

off the edge, but especially the interior last year. Now, he doesn't fit the typical size model that

Bears defensive coordinator, Dennis Allen typically likes at defensive

tackle usually he likes a little bit of the smaller guys who can win with leverage and have

that speed element to their game but when you have a player like Lawrence I mean there's got to

be an exception there he's a tremendous pass rusher eats up a lot of space in the run game I feel

he's got to be a top priority for Chicago.

And then if you look at the market, I mean, obviously there are going to be a lot of teams who are involved in him.
