| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays. Fun one for you guys today. I don't know if you |
| 0:09.1 | checked out last week's first edition of our on the clock series, but just to lay it out for you, |
| 0:13.9 | we're going to be doing this every single week all the way in the lead up to the draft. |
| 0:17.2 | We're doing six picks each show, six or seven, depending on how the math works out. We're |
| 0:21.8 | chunking up the draft into five sections. We started last week with picks one through six. |
| 0:26.9 | Jordan Reed from ESPN joined us. The way that we're doing this is that I am giving these draft |
| 0:32.2 | experts three options per team when they are on the clock, and they have to pick one. |
| 0:37.9 | And what we're doing is we're collecting these into one larger mock draft across the |

| 1:03.2 | Number six, Will Johnson from Michigan going to the Raiders. |
| 1:05.0 | So that was installment one. |
| 1:09.8 | Today is installment number two with my good friend Danny Kelly from the ringer. We chatted about |
| 1:10.8 | picks seven through 12. I gave him several options for all of those picks. We had our first |
| 1:16.7 | trade, which we are limiting to the teams that we're talking about, but that can still happen. |
| 1:21.8 | And so we had a trade thrown in here, which was very fun. I actually think it does make a lot of |
| 1:25.0 | sense. You guys are here when you get there, but really enjoyed chatting with DK about all of these teams and the various different directions |
| 1:32.4 | they could go in the first round. So let's get to that conversation with Danny right now. |
