Oh, is not in the back.

0:52.1

It is Matt Kent, and it is Paul Bastides in the back.

0:54.8

We got Bobby Belt as well. I'm Kyle Yeoman. So glad you're with us. We were talking in the lead

1:00.4

up to this show specifically. There is still so much yet to be decided. It is not by any stretch of the

1:09.6

imagination, a cut and dry, black and white sort of draft.

1:14.4

This is a draft where, especially one through 11, calamity could happen, and then all of a sudden the Cowboys are sitting there at 12 and could see fortune or misfortune go their way, Bobby.

1:26.1

And it feels like this year, more than any other year, everyone is kind of split in how things are going to happen.

1:32.5

Yeah.

1:33.1

And the question, I guess, is then are teams as split as media seems to be?

1:39.4

Are they as confused about what other teams are going to do?

1:42.2

Or do they all generally have some idea, some handle? Because the reality is that I think a lot of times there are very few surprises for NFL teams. Every now and then, yeah, you get like Pennix going at eight and having everybody go, oh, okay, we didn't think they were going to do that.

And we'll just all find out on Thursday. Yeah, I don't think anyone knows what's happening.

2:40.7

It's, uh, I think you had, you had said it yesterday on the phone with me, Bobby. You were like, either everyone's lying or no one knows what's happening. And I think it's, I think it's the latter. 100%. Where do you feel like there could be, you just said you think it's the latter, but where do you feel like the lies are lying whenever it comes to one through 11 where where do you feel like the biggest misconception is the biggest liar yeah who's the giant lighter liar up front just because they have two first round picks the giant

2:45.2

the giants the giants and the cardinals are the biggest the cardinals yeah the cardinals really you

2:49.6

have no idea what's going to happen with that third overall pick.
