| 0:32.9 | Welcome back to the Munich Hib show featuring Lenny. The draft is in the books. |
| 0:40.0 | I'm joined today by Ben Solek to pick some winners and things that make you go a little bit. |
| 0:46.6 | I don't like using the word losers. |
| 0:48.2 | Is there a reason you didn't want to do woofs? |
| 0:51.5 | Head scratchers, whoops. |
| 0:53.0 | It's a little bit confusing, though, because the head scratcher for a dog is praise. |
| 0:56.6 | So, and that's not, that's not what we're doing. Um, this is the last week in a while that I'm going to do two pots because there's so much draft stuff to cover. Ben and I are going to do our winners and. Mm's today. And then a couple of days later in the week, Lance Zering, the great Lance Zerlain of NFL network, is going to join me to talk about every other team. So if you're listening to this and you're like, why wasn't my team discussed good or bad? I am committed to getting to every team's draft this week in some form or fashion. But not today. Today we're going to pick our winners and our |
| 1:27.6 | woops. I set you some names, some teams, a lot of crossover. I haven't like listened to any |
| 1:35.8 | pods, but I've clicked on a few articles. And it seems like the team I'm about to start with |
| 1:40.4 | is maybe the most universally praised draft class. Correct me if I'm wrong. I know you're a little bit more tapped into this. The Cleveland Browns and most folks estimation was one of the big winners the draft, right? And when you got two first round picks, when you trade back and get another third round pick and then you just get shots all, you know, from the floor. And especially when you go to the offensive positions, right, where I think there's like a little bit more like national attention to those spots. Yeah. You're just going to have a university love draft in general. With that said, good freaking work. These are good, good picks. Yeah, let's talk about it. So I'm going to just the first, I won't read every draft pick for every team. And if there's, you know, if you want to talk about Taylor and Green or Kate Carson, Ryan, the tied out of BYU, you can. |
| 2:22.1 | But the picks that I want to emphasize here are the first five picks, which I think is pretty fascinating. |
| 2:29.4 | In the first round, they traded down and were still able to grab Spencer Fano, the offensive tackle at Utah. Then they was picked 24, which they had. They got Casey Concepcion, the wide receiver out of A&M. They stuck and were able to get Denzel Boston, who was kind of one of the big, yeah, fallers of that was, especially when the Raiders who were going to get to didn't take him. I was like, whoa, is you're, you know, it's going to go on here. The chief's going to get him. |
| 2:53.9 | They were not, they did not get him. especially when the Raiders who were going to get to didn't take him, I was like, whoa, is you're, you know, it's going to go on here. |
| 2:52.9 | The chief's going to get him. They were not, they did not get him. They also added Emmanuel McNeil Warren in the second round of pick 58, which was a lot lower than folks thought he would go. And then Austin Barber, which I thought was another interesting pick. So you took two shots on the offensive line, another lineman like Fana, who's maybe got some position versatility. |
| 3:10.6 | So I think they went. which I thought was another interesting pick. So you took two shots on the offensive line, another lineman like Fana, |
| 3:08.9 | who's maybe got some position versatility. |
| 3:10.9 | They went third as well. |
| 3:12.3 | Their next pick was still round five, |
