| 0:00.0 | Okay guys the weekside podcast is back if this is a if this week is a |
| 0:08.4 | weather condition and it's before the draft draft we're recording this on a Monday, the draft is on a Thursday. |
| 0:15.3 | I would say that it is foggy outside. There is not much we can see in front of us despite the draft that we're looking forward to very much being |
| 0:24.8 | near so I'm going to bring in Jenny Rentis we're going to jump right in with our |
| 0:29.9 | favorite pre-draft smoke screens. This is, I think that you very wisely pointed this |
| 0:37.5 | out on a earlier show that we did, this is the time, right? This is when everything |
| 0:42.4 | gets totally nuts. There is the week where we all seem to kind of |
| 0:47.1 | figure out what the group think is, and then there is the week where everything goes totally psycho and then like right before the |
| 0:53.9 | draft it seems like everything evens out again I feel like we're on the tail end of |
| 0:57.6 | still of totally psycho I agree I think rarely do you hear something that comes up these last few days that's |

| 1:23.2 | Like I remember last year I was in Nashville and one of the big rumors there was that |
| 1:27.6 | Ed Oliver was going to be the jet's pick at number three. |
| 1:31.0 | And that was kind of, I don't know about this, you know, it seemed pretty solid |
| 1:36.4 | that I was going to be Quinn and Williams and, but it was like a late rumor that just seemed to be everywhere |
| 1:41.4 | and of course it wasn't true. |
| 1:42.8 | Williams was the pick for the Jets and Oliver went to the bills but that was like one |
| 1:48.9 | example I think of like a late you know late rumor that surged and that really typifies the |
| 1:57.1 | smokescreen period. Okay so I'm gonna ask you which has been your favorite so far this year and we'll talk about them a little bit |
| 2:07.6 | We'll break them down and then we're going to get into some repix later which I think will be fun |
