It's another Mailbag Monday here in the offseason.

Been a couple weeks since I've done one of these. Very excited to get back to it. As always, sincerely appreciate everyone who sent in questions either via the Discord or email. Speaking of the Discord, as you may know, we launched a merch store back in February. We've heard many opinions from our Discord members on the merch. and we have good news for you that we'll be able to share soon.

So be sure that you members on the merch. And so we have good news for you that we'll be able to share soon.

So be sure that you're in the Discord if you want those merch opinions heard and maybe more than just heard.

So there's a link in the Discord in the show description.

In the meantime, go check out the merch store that you can find online with the Athletic Football Show.

For now, let's get to this week's mailbag with me, Michael Bauer, and Dave Holman.

Let's get to it.

It's another mailbag Monday here on the athletic football show. We are now in the teeth of the offseason. This is our first Monday post-draft. I haven't been on one of these in a couple weeks now, Dave. You guys handled the one right before the draft, and then we had the draft last week. So it's fun to be back in the mailbag world. I'm going to say it's good to have you back. Bellar, you're going to be reading the questions as normal. We've got about eight of them today. As always, sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to send one of these in. Let's just get to it. Let's get to it. It starts with Sam Butler. Sam says, with the draft going on I was thinking about a hypothetical. If you took the first player selected at each position

in any given draft year and made a team out of them, which draft class would field the best team. As an example, he said 2004, so Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison, Ashton Gentie, Joe Walt, Jared Verse, etc. In addition, how would that team fare in the league? Worse, near the bottom, middle of the pack, maybe near the top.

What do you guys think?

Robert, what do you got on this one?

First of all, I just realized that I put all of my notes in the shared document, which I

apologize for.

That's not what I meant to do, but just all good there.

This was actually, there weren't as many candidates as I thought there would be because there

are so many years with the first quarterback drafted just isn't a good player.

And so it really did some quick elimination, some quick pruning.

The ones I felt I landed with, 2024, I did not dig into as deeply.

That was the example.
