All right. I limit this to once a week because I loathe this crap, but I do my damnedest to make it interesting.

0:06.5

It's mock draft mania. Let's go. Well, this is going to feature hopefully some second round picks for you, but I'm going to highlight. This is how I try to do these.

0:16.0

I can't stand when people just read a mock draft. I think that's interesting. It's not. Spotlight selections.

0:21.6

And I want to start with Rico Beard at number four.

0:24.4

Tell me if this is beautiful or buffoonery.

0:28.0

The Tennessee Titans select.

0:31.2

Running back out of Notre Dame Jeremiah Love.

0:33.9

Luxury pick or needed to support your young QB.

1:32.4

You know what? Because they're going to be bad anyway, it's needed. It's now, it's not just going to be the Cam Ward show. You can turn around, hand it off. I guess you looked at what the Raiders did when they took their running back. If there's any team that takes them, I'm just saying if there's any team that takes them high, it's Tennessee. Because I don't think you have any expectations. Well, then let's do the same thing at number six with Kenny. Is this brilliant or buffoonery? Your O line sucks. You don't have a quarterback.

And you guys tell me agree, disagree. Number seven, the commanders. Now, they got to meet Robertson. Latimore's gone. They select Mansour Delane, the kid from LSU, who, you know, by the metrics, best lockdown corner in the country only targeted 36 times. He'll play the outside,

1:38.1

Robertson, the inside. My problem with Washington will continue to be where are additional weapons where is the offensive

1:46.8

line yeah they've they've invested in the defense they haven't really to protect your

1:52.6

quarterback who got injured last year and yeah and actually give him some real weapons some young

1:57.9

weapons to work with but i i guess they figured you know, at least he could scramble around and do something.

2:04.4

And you know what?

2:05.2

We'll just win games.

2:06.5

Maybe he can scramble around and do something.

2:09.9

And we'll win games 1716.

2:12.5

Yikes.

2:13.4

I want to give you another weird one to me.

2:16.3

Kansas City at 9, Ruben Bain.

2:20.9

I like Bain, but I think you told me he had shorter arms,

2:25.0

so it's not going to really translate into the league.
