| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody? Welcome into the next Pat's podcast. I'm Phil Perry. Tons to get to on this week's episode. We have the great Mike Renner in with us this week, friends, to talk to us about some terrific trios. |
| 0:23.4 | Yes, we're going to go through the first three rounds of the draft |
| 0:27.3 | and look at the Patriots picks at number 31 and number 63 and number 95 overall. |
| 0:32.7 | And we're going to try to address what I view as maybe their top three needs when we're talking about a tackle |
| 0:39.3 | of the future. We're talking about an edge defender and maybe a little extra juice at wide |
| 0:44.9 | receiver. We're going to run through all the different permutations. Okay, what if they go wide out |
| 0:48.6 | first? Then do you go tackle or edge next? What if you go tackle first? Are you going edge or |
| 0:53.3 | wide out next? And then how do you fill out |

| 1:20.8 | those first two rounds and maybe the Patriots getting some starting caliber types of players |
| 1:26.1 | there if they don't trade one of those first two |
| 1:29.6 | round picks. But then we get into the third round and you start to hear some really interesting |
| 1:32.9 | names and hopefully we'll be introducing some new names for those of you at home that you haven't |
| 1:39.2 | heard yet, that sound intriguing, that sound like Mike Vrable types, that sound like they could |
| 1:43.2 | be filling those needs that the Patriots have sooner rather than later. |
| 1:47.8 | So great, great conversation with Renner. |
| 1:50.6 | We're going to get to that early in the pod here. |
| 1:53.5 | I want to mention, though, when we come back, |
| 1:55.6 | we're going to talk about day one, two, and three fits a tackle that maybe Mike and I didn't go over because I just |
