Summary

Due to an absurd second wave of free-agency news, NFL draft season was delayed. It officially starts… now. Conor and Gary dive into the biggest storylines of the draft. That starts with examining the claim that it’s not a particularly good draft, and what effects that could have on the teams (most of them) that wouldn’t mind getting the heck out of Round 1. As always, any first-round shuffling will be quarterback centric—a look at the five potential first-rounders among this class of passers.

Speaking of quarterbacks, a discussion of this year's round of QB musical chairs, which seems to now be frozen in place. Is someone going to get Baker Mayfield (and how badly did the Browns screw this up)? Or Jimmy Garoppolo? And what to make of the presumed QB vacancies in Carolina and Seattle?

Finally, an fittingly underwhelming discussion of the underwhelming new overtime rules.

0:18.0	John Gonzales over here.
0:20.0	I want to give you a couple of quick notes about the show,
0:22.0	what I liked, what I didn't like and then
0:23.8	we'll move on to today's show which will cover the NFL draft.
0:27.7	We're going to talk a little quarterback musical chairs as well and also the new overtime rules.
0:31.9	But the thing I didn't like about the show was
0:35.1	not only was it on it but you got John Gonzales who is is better than me at
0:41.5	podcasting which I didn't appreciate. What I did like is we did
0:47.2	get a little Michael McDonald continuation. A little yacht rock little
0:55.0	yat-Mcdonald uh... continuation will yacht rock uh... drop in there
0:56.8	yeah it's it's remarkable how
0:59.3	uh... the power of yacht rock right where you don't even know that, you know, I don't know if John is a serial
1:05.8	listener of the pod, but, you know, even if he's not and he wasn't just trying to drop an
1:10.9	Easter egg for our listeners, he loves Yacht Rock so much that like, you know, we were just able to keep it going and to bring that to our core listener base.
1:22.0	Yeah, even if you don't think you like Yacht Rock, you actually like Yacht Rock.
1:26.0	It's just, yeah. It's embedded in all of us in some way, shape, or form.

1:40.7	Truths haven't been spoken and now we are on to the NFL draft. But before we do
1:48.0	Yeah, because John wouldn't do it. Give me a Mount Rushmore with Bruce Arians. Where is he? Like, I don't know, if, like, we're, like if he was still in the league and you're, and you're a quarterback and you get to pick, you know, you're a hot free agent quarterback and you get to pick.
2:07.0	How far down is he on your list?
2:10.0	He's, this is a cop out answer. He's, I mean, he's, he's middle of the pack. Yeah, I don't think he's necessarily going to make me better
