That's right. Welcome into the first draft podcast ESPN's draft focus podcast. We produce

a no show every Tuesday around 4 p.m. Eastern time. And if you're into video, go check out ESPN's

YouTube page and search first draft for more. Feel the eights as always joined by Mel Kuiper

and Todd McShay back with us after an absence last week. Todd, good to see you, my friend.

Good to see you, buddy. How are you? I'm doing well. And Mel, how are we hanging in down there

That's why he's catching up. No, I'm not. I'm just chilling.

Well, somehow you guys always make it look seamless come the draft, which is, of course, now less

than two months away. We're going to get into a couple of takeaways from Mel's mock draft,
