Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Road to World Football Show. It is Day 17.

2026 NFL draft. I'm Patrickardt and we've recapped the first 1,482 picks and we're gonna get the next

1,4282 is actually the midway point no hey guys yep the draft the guys being Denny

Carter Kyle Dvorchick the draft always takes on a bit of a vision quest quality, like if you're covering it for work. Even the most hardcore fans, like if their job doesn't involve the NFL, they're usually not sitting and watching all two and a whole. I hope not. And it always feels a bit long. I'm just going to be honest with you. And this year, it felt longer than ever. Ever. When we are, of course, out of good players, I'd see you pick two. One legitimate blue chip player in this entire class. And he's not even considered a particularly good, number one overall pick. Fernando Mendoza. But a weird draft class, a difficult one to quantify, a difficult one to break

down, but we're going to do it all three days at the NFL draft, 257 picks. Danny and Kyle

are going to talk about who had the best draft, who had the worst draft, you can see where this

is going. The single worst pick, our favorite picks of certain days.

Picks maybe we're following from days two and three.

It's because it's hard to have like a least favorite pick.

I guess you can hear the thunder roaring in South Louis, Missouri.

All day thunderstorms here.

God is mad that I'd besmirch the draft.

Yeah, you should have been nicer.

Should have been nicer. Tell you who should have been nicer was Diego Pavia. Didn't get drafted, Vandy QB, first Heisman finalist since 2014, Danny Carter, to go and drafted. The NFL lost the quarterback prospect. Guess what? The St. Louis Battlehawks gained a franchise player. In our future here, Diego Pavia, that's how I'm looking at the situation. How are you looking at

Diego Pavia going undrafted? I just can't even believe. It seems like such a nice young man.

Great. You know, his strategy of escalation at any cost really paid off in the end.

And, you know, because he's the first Heisman finalist to not be drafted for, what,

12 years, you said. He's also the first Heisman finalist ever to not even be considered by any team.

Like truly straight up, not even considered. Nobody,

nobody was going to get this kid on their roster. First of all, he's five foot nine. And secondly, he has this ad to. Well, let's not just first five foot nine. I think it's perfectly. I do, personally, I think it's perfectly normal, you know, but for a football player, you know, when you're when you when your offensive lineman is six foot eight it's tough that's tough so uh you know really good job on his part to not have an agent to look like a buffoon and by the way you got to hit

hit you with the fact check there because apparently he does have an agent oh well that that agent

is not doing a great job.
