| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody, welcome into this Monday edition of pushing the pilot mock draft Monday. |
| 0:20.8 | Free agency is coming, kind of gone. |
| 0:23.6 | I mean, there's still actually a good amount of big name for agents left, but basically |
| 0:27.9 | the dust has settled in terms of team needs. I think that's the biggest thing. I always say |
| 0:33.4 | that it's kind of entertainment before you get to this point in the season doing mock drafts. |
| 0:40.9 | It's more just pigeonholing where guys could go. |
| 0:44.5 | It's more of like a projection of a draft board. |
| 0:47.5 | But now it gets kind of serious because no one's really filling out any more needs from now until the draft. |
| 0:54.9 | So we know where the needs lie and we know basically the players that would fill |
| 1:00.0 | them for this. |
| 1:01.0 | But to me, the position that I think is going to decide this. |
| 1:04.6 | And I want to hear your thoughts on this JP is offensive line because depending on who you sort of talk to and who you trust as an evaluator, |
| 1:17.0 | there are as many as three guys in this class, in this offensive tackle class that people see as interior offensive line. |
| 1:22.4 | Francis Maui Noah from Miami, Spencer Fano from Utah, and Caden Proctor from Alabama being kind of the big ones there, |
| 1:28.9 | that just aren't your prototypical tackle sort of traits guys, even if they play tackle at the |
| 1:35.7 | collegiate level. So how the evaluations of them go and which teams think they're more tackle than |
| 1:42.3 | guard, I think decides a lot of how the top |
| 1:45.0 | 10 ends up shaking out. I definitely agree. And I think it comes back down to when we look at |
| 1:50.1 | offensive line and the offensive line play in general, it's always going to be a premium position, |
| 1:55.1 | all five. So you're going to see a lot of offensive linemen go in the first round, |
| 1:59.3 | even though we've already sort of said that this offensive line class is a little, it's going to take a little bit more |
| 2:05.3 | projection and a little bit more conjecture than usual with a lot of these prospects. |
