Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays.

It's another mailbag Monday, me and Derek Classen digging into your guys' questions.

Another great batch of questions.

Chat a little bit about the Hall of Famers that we think might be playing in the NFL right now.

Talked about a couple team-specific decisions in the top 10, why the idea of maybe going

for the most talented player over a more premium position is a little bit murkier that it might

seem in a given class.

Talked about how teams build their draft boards, how much they take into account some

of the publicly available mock information.

A lot of draft-centric questions

in this one. Really enjoyed digging into this with Derek and Beller. Let's get to it right now.

It's another mailbag Monday here on the athletic football show, like we've done for the last

few episodes.

Our producer Michael Beller is going to kick us the questions.

Derek, I think you've embraced the leaning into the Melbag, and I really appreciate that

you have.

This is something that, you know, I've been doing these for as long as I can remember being in

sports media.

Obviously, my situation is colored a little bit differently because Bill Simmons used to be my boss. So I came from a very mailbag heavy universe when it comes to my sports media upbringing. But I appreciated that we've brought them back with such fervor this offseason because I've really enjoyed doing them. I've been enjoying them more and more. It's like my favorite. It's such a good end.

For us, it's the end of the week when we record them,

but it's such a good thing to look forward to at the end. Because it's a lot of, you know, I think I said this before after maybe the first or second one. It's a lot of questions and just framing that I wouldn't think of, especially this time of year when that's all there is to think about is stuff that you wouldn't get to in, you know, week eight of the NFL season.
