| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 9776 of the official Establish the Run.com podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | My name is Adam Levittan. |
| 0:23.7 | As always, joined by co-founder Evan Silva, |
| 0:25.9 | and one of the biggest events of the NFL offseason |
| 0:28.8 | is behind us now. |
| 0:30.8 | As the NFL draft went down over the weekend, |
| 0:34.3 | Evan, champion once again of the mock draft streets. How's going today? |

| 1:29.4 | We'll discuss Evans grade on their draft, the fantasy fallout, and what the picks mean |
