Welcome to First draft for this week. I am Chris Sprow joined by Todd McShea and Mel Kuiper Jr.

Bellas. There's been an extraordinary amount of intrigue around Tua this week.

I'm on a first name basis.

But it didn't get any less intriguing when Kuiper popped a minute number three on his mock draft yesterday.

Mel's point, and I'm reading this right, Mel, wasn't just that Detroit is going to take him at number three.

to just the player evaluation then yeah I I have Tua, if you're just going off of what you see on tape and the player,

it's very, very close between Tua Tongue of IOLoa and Joe Burrow. In my opinion, I would take Tewa again, and I've said this before and it's we don't live in a fantasy land, but if he gave me a crystal ball and promised me 10 years of health, then I would take would take to and run with him. But I just

knowing that the evaluation is so close on these two players,

Burrow has been durable, he has more throws, so it's not like, you know, you think about Tuva and you think that he had a longer career, but I think
