Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays.

The fifth and final installment of our on the clock series is happening today.

Mike Renner from CBS here to help us with picks 26 through 32.

If you guys are unfamiliar with this exercise, this is our fifth version of this show.

We've done every single pick of

the first round, which each of the guests, when a team is on the clock, I've given them

three-ish options that they can pick from for that specific team. And it's what they would do

if they were on the clock, not what they think that team would do. In the end, and this is

rounding it out today, we will have one first round mock draft from one to 32. If you guys want to go back and listen to the other iterations of this show, please do. I talked about who's been off the board early on in this show, so you'll get some context with that, but have enjoyed doing these, have had such a great time doing them. We've had some great guests.

And again, it's been a good way to just talk about the makeup of all of these teams, what their needs are and where they could potentially be looking, given this pool of players in the 2025 draft.

Before we dig into it with Mike, quick reminder, Thursday night, 7.30 p.m. Eastern on our YouTube channel,

me, Dane Bruegler, Bruce Feldman, Derek Klessen, breaking down every single pick from the

first round of the draft. And then me, Derek, and Dane, we'll be back on Friday night,

6.30 p.m. Eastern reacting to every pick of the second and third round. We do not tip the picks.

We are watching the draft live with you guys. So we think it's a great watch-long experience.

You can have NFL network out in the background and you could be listening to Dane, Bruce,

and Derek break down every single pick as it happens during the first round.

We've been doing this for since I've been here. A 2021 draft was our first one that we did.

If you guys remember that show,

it was me and Nate with like three iPhones

in a courtyard by Marriott room in downtown Chicago.
