Summary
The storylines of the 2022 NFL Draft go beyond just the prospects.

Robert Mays and Nate Tice bring their picks for their Teams with the Most at Stake during the draft before Rhiannon Walker stops by to share her experience with former Washington and Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins following his tragic passing.

| 0:00.0 | This is the athletic football show. |
| 0:15.6 | Welcome to the athletic football show. |
| 0:18.0 | Today's Tuesday, April 12th. |
| 0:19.6 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:38.7 | Joining me today is my good friend Nate Tyson. How you doing, buddy? Doing great. Our pre-shows, I kind of referenced them sometimes, is sometimes we talk about, you know, music, talk about what we do the weekend. I'm very, I'm in a great mood because we just got to talk about wrestling for about 10 minutes before we started this show. So I'm all giddy right now. |
| 0:41.8 | It's funny because the conversation started when we were talking about a new wrestling podcast that came out and it led to me admitting that wrestling YouTube holes and rabbit holes, |
| 0:46.8 | they're dangerous. |
| 0:48.1 | I mean, you can get down them very quickly. |
| 0:50.1 | So we started getting in a conversational wrestling rabbit hole that ultimately had me close out like 10 Wikipedia pages right before we started recording because I was just reading about how old sting is. |
| 1:00.5 | That's where we were. |
| 1:01.8 | You guys need a window into our thought process here before we start these shows. |
| 1:05.8 | So just a heads up a little bit later on today's show, Riannon Walker, who was a writer here at The Athletic, and covered the Washington football team during Dwayne Haskins' tenure there, is going to join us. And just talk about what it was like to cover Dwayne and be around him. I just thought that after the news, obviously, this weekend, and the tragedy of him passing away, I wanted to get somebody who could provide some perspective on what he was like as a person. Because I think that one of my main takeaways from this weekend is just that it's really important to understand and separate who these guys are on the field and who they are as human beings and how we talk about them in that way. I think that's been a big lesson over the last few days or so. So a little bit later, Rehan is going to join us to talk about that. |
| 1:44.9 | Before we do that, though, we're going to take a step back today away from the prospects in this draft. You know, when we've been diving into the draft conversation here over the last few weeks, it's been pretty prospect-heavy, especially with you and me. We talked about the quarterbacks. We talked about the receivers. there'll be plenty more time for that over the next couple weeks before we get to the draft, |
| 1:44.4 | which I can't believe it's a couple weeks away. |
| 1:45.9 | But... me. We talked about the quarterbacks. We talked about the receivers. There will be plenty more time for that over the next couple weeks before we get to the draft, which I can't believe it's a |
| 2:03.9 | couple weeks away, but it is. So here we are. We're going to talk from the team perspective today. |
| 2:10.1 | Dig into some teams that really have a lot at stake in the 2022 draft. We're going to talk about the |
| 2:15.8 | teams, the 10 to 12 or so teams that we think |
| 2:18.6 | have the most at stake and have the most on the line in this draft. Yeah, I mean, |
| 2:25.4 | it's a year that seems like more teams with multiple picks. Yeah, it's a really weird year. |
| 2:31.7 | And obviously, we're going to dig into those teams. But I mean, there are just so many teams in unique situations with their timeline and how much urgency they have. |
| 2:40.8 | So there's no shortage of options here. |
