Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of set up work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engine!

Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the Shotgun Start.

It is April 27th. Andy, how are we doing?

Brendan, I'm doing great. I'm back on the Central Time Zone. I'm feeling good.

Guy, feed under you a little bit. Yeah, yeah, a big event last weekend. We never really reconvened on that event, but you're back from the West Coast and now in the Central Time Zone.

Are the bears? Hey, is this our last podcast for the draft? Where are the bears at nowadays? What are they picking?

The first round picks. We had a regime that didn't believe in first round picks. Like many of the recent years, we did not have a first round pick.

We did trade Calil Mac though, and we picked up an extra second. It sounds like they might trade Bob Quinn.

Bob Quinn. He was like the worst signing ever two years ago, and then last year he set the franchise record for Sacks.

So, so hi, maybe. He's like 35-year-old that Russian.

He's been a league for a while. This is usually super bowl for us, but you know, we've traded all our picks for the Sean Watson, who may or may not play in this coming year.

So, I'm kind of, I'm not really up to speed on what's going on with the draft.

The bears desperately need a receiver. They got it, but they got nothing. I mean, they're just like, I don't understand the logic of drafting a talented, talented quarterback.

They're just having like having no, no, no talent around them. But they also need a lot of offensive line help. They need, they need everything.

Yeah, I think there's options. The one thing I do appreciate about this regime is they aren't doing the patchwork thing that paste did, which was like, we, we know we aren't good enough.

So, let's just trade away all of our picks and try and get better. It's like, we know we suck. We know that the last regime really left the covered bear.

So, let's not do anything rash. Let's, let's try and get some more picks. We aren't going to compete this year. We're going to be bad.

Yeah, okay. All right, that's sometimes better than these patchwork things. Like you said, all right, it's good. You're back home.

So you'll be home for the draft watch party on whatever it is Thursday and Friday. Let's get into it. Oh, hey, I got a coral. I got a quibble with you.
