Join me for a mock draft. We go pick by pick one through 32 fits we like, our thought process.

talking to Caleb. I'm to admit a little, accidentally admit a little something about a play call from a, or a non-play call from Matt Patricia, which was pretty fun. So make sure to check that stuff out. But I mentioned already, three-man weave today, joining me, not just today, but also on Thursday and Friday for our live draft shows.
