0:00.0 | We got a very, very special guest on right now. That is Dave Ruggler, who's an NFL draft |
0:22.2 | analyst for the athletic one of the most well respected draft analysts. There is, Dave, |
0:26.9 | thank you so much for coming out, man. No, the pleasure is all mine. Thanks, Max. Of course. |
0:31.4 | So the first question I asked you before we get into some of the prospects that we should be |
0:34.5 | watching on Saturdays this year is, you know, the thing that you're most well known for is the beast. |
0:39.7 | You know, there's this massive NFL draft guy that you put out every year over 400 scouting |
0:44.8 | ports as in depth as you'll find. I wanted to ask you just how time intensive is putting that |
