I'm Dan Schneier. Join as always my goals, Nick Vallado. And today we have a special guest. It's draft big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my goals, Nick Falado. And today we have a special guest. It's draft season. So you know what that means. A lot of guest shows coming, which you guys love. And we love doing as well. So we've got Max Chadwick on the college football analyst from pro football focus. also the host of the pro football focus college football show at max chadwick cfb on

twitter if you want to follow him there and you should on social he's here to get us all caught up on the NFL draft and talk college prospects with us so we're really excited to have them on this is somebody whose job is literally to watch these guys year and a year out not just during draft season which and I are, that's all we have the time to do.

We obviously watch broadcast as well, but as far as film goes. So, you know, we're really excited

to have you on, Max, talk a little college football with you, talk a little NFL draft prospects. How are you doing today? And how's this football? How's this part of the season going for you? Dude, it's going awesome.

I didn't realize until you said it right there that the show is a mouthful to say the

pro football focus college football show.

I guess that's why we. going awesome. I didn't realize until you said it right there that the show is a mouthful to say the

pro football focus college football show. I guess that's why we trimmed it down to this the PFF college football show, just like make it easier to digest. But yeah, man, this is my favorite time of year, honestly, because obviously I'm still a huge fan of the NFL, even though I love college football a little bit more. But this is kind of the event that, you know, combines the two together. And that's why I love it so much that you combine, you know,

college report into the NFL. And that's why I think the NFL draft is the best event in sports, honestly. So it's the best time of the year right now. And I'm excited to talk about with you guys. This offensive tackle article that you came out with. And I know you have a series of articles over there at PFF. I encourage our listeners to go over there and check it out it's the top 10 offensive tackle

prospects if everyone in college football was eligible, so this also gives us a little bit of an understanding of what to look for next season and the year after. Because we know, man, his stuff, it snowballs, dude. I remember covering like three years ago the draft and next thing i know it's already you know the

twenty 24 NFL draft but you have joe all as your top offensive tackle and then two players

who will not be in the 2024 NFL draft so i just kind of wanted to pick your brain as to how much

how much better do you think joe alt is as a prospect over the other offensive tackles in this class in In this class, I don't think he's close. And I'm happy that it's kind of become that consensus opinion, because I remember during the season, it really was, consensus opinion really was, okay, Olufresana was clearly the number one guy. Joe Alt's clearly number two. And I don't want to sound like we're patting ourselves on the back here, but Dolan and I for my co-host, Dylan and I are a show, we're like, dude, just Joe Alden is not as everyone else because he really combines pass blocking and run blocking better than anyone else in this class by a mile. Like he is not only one of the best past protectors in the country. He's also one of the best run blockers in the country. Olufashano, one of the best pass blockers in the country, really struggles in the run game for most of his career.

Talisa Fawaga, obviously dominant run blocker, solid, really good pass blocker, but nowhere near the elite guy that Joe Alt is. And then obviously Joe Alt as well at the NFL Combine tested out as a 99th percentile athlete according to Kentley Plath and Brats up a budget score.
