Summary

Former NFL Offensive Lineman Ross Tucker tells guest host Ryan Leaf why he’d rather have 5 average linemen than two studs and three duds, why he thinks the 49ers are taking Alabama QB Mac Jones at #3 in tonight’s NFL Draft, Jimmy Garoppolo’s future in San Francisco and why he might be back in New England before the draft ends, if we’ll see a running back drafted in the first round, what the draft night experience is like for marginal players like himself coming out of Princeton in 2001, and a debate with Patriots fan Chris Brockman on the merits of Belichick bring Jimmy G back into the fold.     Rich calls in from Cleveland hours before the NFL Draft to discuss the intrigue and rumors swirling around teams potentially moving up and teams moving down, what the 49ers will do at #3, why he’s placing all his trust in the Jets leadership with drafting BYU’s Zach Wilson with the 2nd overall pick.  Ryan and Brockman wrap up the hour debating what the 49ers will do at number 3 in the NFL Draft and why Leaf believes the Niners will take Justin Fields and keep Jimmy Garoppolo.    And make sure you check out Rich's other podcast: Just Getting Started with Rich Eisen.
