Good things coming to, twos, and we aren't done with Mel's mock just yet.

Mel Kuyper Jr. and I are breaking down the rest of his mock draft 3.0.

That's coming up.

Plus, we're responding to your questions, your takes, and your draft dreams live as first draft starts right now.

Welcome in to first draft.

I am Field D.H. joined by the man who needs no introduction.

He is Mel Kuyper Jr. A reminder we are with you twice a week all the way through the 2026 NFL draft, wherever you get your podcast, and of course, the NFL on ESPN YouTube channel, and on TV. You might be watching us on the big screen right now. Mel, I gotta ask you, how are you holding up?

Because I know this about ESPN.

When we do our mock drafts, they make you work the day that the mock draft drops.

Yes, and I had my day yesterday, the voice, the pipes, as Kevin de Gandhi said, we're wearing out.

The voice was almost gone at the end of the evening yesterday, field. So I got past the draft daily, NFL Live, was kind of running out of steam at the end of NFL live, and I barely made it through the two sports center segments. So hopefully today we recover a little bit, field. But after I was starting at about 630 yesterday morning to last night with very little stops in between, I got to drink. I got to say, I got to have the water. I got to have something. I got to have the honey, whatever, you know, the lozenges. I got to have something near me over the next three or four weeks to get through. If memory serves, I think I've only ever seen you drink water and orange crushes. So I can't imagine what else might be on the palate there, whether that could be a coffee, perhaps. I'll tell you, Phil, when you lose your voice, you will drink anything that can make it better. Anything that people will give you ideas on you'll do when the voice is going, go and gone. And that's what it was last year on draft day Eve. And at least we're a little over a month out i think

we're good so i have a little time here to try to figure this out field but hey we're doing the mock

yesterday and we get the trade field so again the best laid plans right pal that's right mel we had a

huge trade that we'll get to in just a few moments a reminder that on the most recent edition of first

draft that dropped early on tuesday morning we did Mel's top 10 picks. We dove into each and every one of them in pretty good depth as well. We're not going to get through every pick 11 through 32, but we'll get to some of the most notable selections. And the dolphins are going to be up first. They're a very intriguing team. We're going to give them some time. But without further or two, Mel Kuyper's Mach 3.0, part two.
