| 0:21.1 | with Lindsay just about the biggest questions we have heading into the draft. This is the day before the draft, which is crazy. It seems like this has been a six-month-long process, but we're finally here. So we're going to tee that up a little bit. Just a reminder, live draft show 930 Eastern. me and Nate Tice, |

It's going to be on our YouTube page, Twitter, check the athletic app. I think you guys will be getting a push notification. So just be on the lookout for that over the next 24 hours.
