Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Great show for you guys today.

This is part one of our two-part offensive line podcast that we're doing about the

20-23 draft, which is just completely unhinged, but it's pretty on brand for the

nonsense that we try to pull around here.

Part two is currently in your feed.

I chatted with Mitchell Schwartz and Marshall Newhouse, who have 20 years combined

playing in the NFL along the offensive line about why some of these guys that get drafted

in the first two rounds don't pan out. And sometimes that's a little bit of a black box at the

offensive line position. We assume guys drafted in round one, round two, they're going to be starters.

Sometimes that doesn't happen. So why? What are the barriers to that happening? The flip side of that is the guys who are actually going to be first and second round picks in this year's draft and what those guys look like as prospects. And that is what we were going to dig into in part one here. And to help me with that conversation, two guys who have watched way more of these guys than me,

and I guarantee you way more of these guys that anybody listening has.

First of all, our draft guru at the athletic, so happy to have him back, feeling a little bit better.

Dan Bruegler, Dan, how you doing, buddy?

Good.

It's been a good week.
