| 0:00.0 | I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie. |
| 0:04.0 | Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy? |
| 0:09.0 | Oh God. |
| 0:10.0 | Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power embarrassing Eddie makes way for sensible Samuel. |
| 0:15.0 | Cool, that was close. |
| 0:16.0 | You might not always pick the right starter, but your sub can still deliver. |
| 0:19.0 | Because with Paddy's super sub, your bet rolls over to the player coming on. Paddy Power. Valid on selected leagues and markets only. Pre-match and in-play bets on qualifying player outcome selections only. T's and exclusions apply. 18 plus scummelaware.org. This mock drafts 3.0 and I'm diving right into it. Guys, I can't get out of my head and I've gotten a little bit of intel. That's what happens every single |
| 0:37.7 | year with the Ravens. They wait, they sit tight and they get best player available all the times. |
| 0:42.8 | You talk about a guy that does not have much tread off of his tires. He was a backup. Yet he still |
| 0:48.1 | scored all those touchdowns. |
| 1:28.3 | Hey, welcome into the program. I'm Joel Cloud. This is a Joel Cloud show. We are brought to you by graduate by Hilton. We thank them for their support. And we're finally here. It's draft week. So let's give you my last mock draft of the process. That's right. It's mock draft 3.0. And I'm diving right into it. So here we go. Pick number one. It is the Vegas Raiders and we knew exactly what they were going to do a month ago and we know exactly what they're going to do right now.

| 1:47.9 | let's say like the Jets or the Dolphins that need everything on their roster. |
| 1:52.5 | So from my seat, this is about as good of a situation as a number one quarterback could go to. |
| 1:57.6 | And that's for Nana Mendoza with the Raiders. |
| 2:00.0 | And number two, this is as we know uh where |
| 2:02.3 | the draft draft really starts with the jets because there's some intrigue and i think they're |
| 2:07.2 | going to be trying to decide right here between arvel wreaths david bailey and sunny styles |
| 2:12.2 | i think that's the conversation right now and here's the thing and i just mentioned this |
