| 0:00.0 | Welcome to First Draft. I'm Chris Prow with Mel Kuiper and Todd McShee. |
| 0:16.0 | It's a national holiday. The entire week, not today. It's the NFL combine of course. |
| 0:21.0 | Off the year, Kuiper was just telling us stories when Todd was in third |
| 0:26.7 | grade and Kuiper was going through media guides Mel so you would just take wide |
| 0:30.6 | receivers as like lop two inches off them? Yeah press guides would get to me in August |
| 0:35.2 | usually I'd have to send out letters in late June and remind everybody to send out the |

| 1:07.4 | right well I would say well that's gonna be six three he's got to be a guard right |
| 1:10.7 | he's gonna end up being six three's not six five so you know so you always took an inch or two off the heights and now like Todd had said when we were talking about this they have a kind of adjusted back to making it more in line with what we see |
| 1:22.2 | Because we used to get I mean you should get disappointed the making it more in line with what we see. |
| 1:22.5 | Because we used to get, I mean, |
