0:00.0	What's up? Welcome into our first ever Hogan John's Bears mock draft edition.
0:18.1	Little mini pod here for you in the middle of the week ahead of the NFL
0:23.2	combine. Johnzie, we made the picks. I don't like the grades that Pat Norton gave us, but I guess
0:30.4	we have to talk about it. You kind of got them with that threat to put them in a room with
0:34.9	Karm or Braggs. Either way works.
0:40.6	Yeah, well, I have, I have my ways, but let's just jump into this. The full mock draft is available, by the way, for CHGO diehards on all CHGO.com.
0:47.2	And our colleague Patrick Norton did grade the mock draft, evidently very well. I think he did a great job. Let's jump into the

1:25.2	if they want to target a defensive tackle.
1:28.5	Yeah, it is. I mean, I kind of wanted to go edge, but there's, it's kind of a weird spot
1:33.1	with the edge rushers. The, the top guys probably off the board. There's some tweeners,
1:37.2	maybe some guys that don't necessarily exactly fit. Dennis Allen's height, length,
1:42.9	requirements.
1:49.6	So it seemed like the value was better with the defensive tackles.
1:51.2	And talking on Kayla Banks, who I went with,
