| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays. Our on the clock series rolls on today. |
| 0:06.9 | We started it last week. It's pretty simple, but we think fun exercise. I have on a draft analyst |
| 0:12.7 | who does this stuff all the time, and we talk about a section of the first round. Last week, |
| 0:17.6 | it was picks one through six with Trevor Sycamma from PFF and NFL Stock Exchange. |
| 0:22.0 | Today, it is picks 7 through 12 with our friend Jordan Reed, who does a wonderful job covering |
| 0:27.7 | the draft for ESPN. |
| 0:29.6 | It works like this. |
| 0:31.0 | I give our guest three options for each team on the clock in this range of the first |
| 0:36.9 | round. |

| 0:41.4 | Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame is one of those options. |

So that leaves Jeremiah Love on the board for Washington for Jordan Reed here at number seven. So let's get to that conversation and figure out if Jeremiah Love is going to Washington and what picks 7 through 12 look like in the first |
| 1:29.2 | round of this draft. |
