Starting point is 00:00:00 Seattle. Who'd they take at 32? Emmanuel Gregnon at 30. Let's go. That are the mixed reactions. Amazing. Ooh, yeah. We need a slim gym.
Starting point is 00:00:14 I just want you guys to know that's getting clipped on the highlight promotional thing for next year. Did that chair? I'm okay. Did he pass out? Did he pass out? My chair fell over. I'm good. I'm good. NFL stock exchange.
Starting point is 00:00:44 podcast. I'm Trevor Sikima. No Connor Rogers here for this one. I'm flying solo. Him and his wonderful wife are having their baby shower this weekend. So they're prepping for that all sorts of things that need to get in line to make sure that run smoothly. So Connor being the husband that he is, which he said in text messages, basically him being a pack mule for everywhere they're going this weekend. He's not able to join the show here. But it's a spontaneous one on a Friday. And you know what? It's still mock draft season. We're less than a week away from the draft. And something. big just came across my desk, quote Leonardo DiCaprio and Wolf of Wall Street. And that is
Starting point is 00:01:20 that Mel Kuiper, the godfather himself, release his final 2026 mock draft, two round at that. And for you guys, I haven't even looked at it at all. So here on this show, we're going to go through it every single pick and you're going to see my live reaction to what Mel Kiper put in there for his two round mock. Shout out to Brett and E.J. certainly from the cold open. Shout out. Shout out. to everybody who joined the seven round mock draft stream that we did this past Tuesday. Over $15,000 raised for charity. You guys are unbelievable. We had a goal of $5,000 just from you guys and then we were going to match it, 5,000 here from the show and you guys alone raised $15,000. And of course, we're still going to match that 5K that we promised that we're going to do as well.
Starting point is 00:02:11 So I don't know exactly what the final number is going to be. We've always been transparent with you guys and that YouTube takes a cut of it just from us streaming on this platform. So when we get that final number, which will probably be with the payments that we get for April, so it'll be sometime in May. When we get that final number, you guys will see it and you will see the receipts of that money going evenly to all four of the charities that you guys so graciously supported as we went through that seven round mock draft. We really appreciate you guys. and we appreciate all the guests that we had as well. What we wanted to do is we wanted to have as many different guests as we possibly could.
Starting point is 00:02:48 You know, shout out to Mina and Jordan as well, getting it on the stream in like round six and seven just to talk some ball with us. And it was great to have Jordan on to take us home to missed irrelevant pick, especially because it was the day that he released his top 500 players. And if there was any doubt at all, which there should have never been that Jordan Reed knows ball, he basically flexed his muscles there as we ended that draft. So shout out to all you guys for taking that stream and being bigger and better than, I said 6-7?
Starting point is 00:03:18 When did I say 6? Oh, round 6 or 7. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's on me. I got that's hand up. That's on me. That's the foul.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I'm guilty of it. That's me. This is going to be a heavy chat-involved show as all of the shows that either Connor and I do solo are. the chef in here as well, Tyler Cook, who obviously is behind the glass, making the magic cap and producing this bad boy. But yeah, well, actually, you know what? We got a super chat here. It's from D-Star. This is his first super chat, and it's topical. It's something that people have been asking us, so you know what? I'm going to, I'm going to read it here on the show. Connor and Trev, what are your plans for draft night? Also, thoughts on the Raven's new uniforms.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I've got to be sporting with an elite purple camo cargo pants in Pittsburgh. hope to see some of the addicts at the draft. Wow, these are going to be out of the draft. Any addicts that are also going to be at the draft. Make sure you coordinate. Do it through the Discord. Shout out the NFL-Z Discord. It's been a great place for community building.
Starting point is 00:04:20 So if you guys are in the Discord and anybody's going to Pittsburgh for the draft, who's NFLSC fans, I'd love to. I mean, if you guys get together and you hang out for the draft, I'd love, you know, like a picture. Send it to us. We'll make sure that we promo it because, like, that would be something that's really cool. We love bringing the football world together.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I feel like the Ravens uniforms, didn't really change it all, right? Like, I don't, I'm a uniform guy, so I hate to be a hater, but it feels like a lot of the, oh, look at this new uniforms. Kind of like, all right, it was kind of like the old uniforms. But I already liked the Ravens uniform, so I don't think that's like a, you know, too much of a diss, because I already thought that they were great. In terms of what we're doing on draft night,
Starting point is 00:05:00 I haven't tweeted this out, but I did receive the graphic of it this morning, so I feel like we're very close to announcing it. I will be doing Bleacher Report's draft stream for night one, night two, and night three of the 2026 NFL drafts. You guys can see myself on night one. And then the exciting part is that Connor will be joining me for night two and night three. So it's an NFL SE bleach report takeover for day two and day three of the NFL draft on their stream. We cannot wait for it, man. It's going to be so awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I've already talked to Bleach Report's got phenomenal producers. They've got a great set. They've got so many great people that are involved in the show. Adam Lefko is going to be hosting it with us. I can't say which NFL players are going to be part of the show because I think that's their news to break. But there will be some current NFL players who are going to be on the show on night one with us as well. So I'm so pumped about this.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I'm super pumped. I'm very happy that Bleach Report reached out to me. And they're like, hey, we'd love to have you on the stream for the next or for all three days of their draft coverage. So I could not be more excited about that. I'll announce it on Twitter once they officially give me the, you know, the thumbs up to say, hey, graphics good. Go ahead and blast that bad boy out.
Starting point is 00:06:17 But it only felt right that I give you guys here on this spontaneous Friday show the exclusive of that happening. So we would love for you guys to come hang out with this. Obviously, they're doing it on YouTube. So it's a live stream so you guys can hang out with us night one, night two, and night three. And you better believe that I'm going to tell the people, I was like, hey, you better pull the chat out for day three. Because I know the addicts are going to be there specifically when it is me and Connor
Starting point is 00:06:41 just talking ball there for another six. And then perhaps whatever the number after six is, hours of that stream on day three, all of the picks four rounds four, five, six. And then, yeah, potentially that round that comes after number six. You see, you guys have it in my brain where I can't even, I can't consciously say it. Or I know that you guys are going to roast me for it. But all of it to say, we're extremely excited for it. We're extremely excited to not only do the show,
Starting point is 00:07:10 partner Bleacher Report for this one, but also just that you guys are going to be with there with us. We're super excited about that. So there you go. That's the news. Cats out of the bag. That's what we're doing on draft weekend. I think we had a couple of other super chats here that I wanted to get to
Starting point is 00:07:25 just before we pulled up the, pulled up the Kuiper Mock. Brady said, Granny stays in the cage until Rogers is back. Well, it's going to be until Monday when we do the big board. episode. So there we go. Shelton said, would you support the Bengals picking a wide receiver? Example that they have Tate ranked third overall and the best defensive player is ranked 14th overall. Do you go defense or do you pick best player available? I can't see the Bengals
Starting point is 00:07:53 drafting wide receiver at 10. Like I can't see the Bengals drafting wide receiver in the first round, but I can certainly see them eyeing wide receiver in round three or four. So I would definitely say that that is a possibility there, but I just, I don't think it, I don't think it 10. Legrenade gave us a super chat, said, Trevin Connor for Perez and vice president, I don't know if I'd rather just do this show, to be honest with you. The only people that I want telling me that there's a draft.
Starting point is 00:08:23 The NFL draft's the better draft anyway, so I'd much rather talk about that. Christopher, 10-0-Supert Chat, said, hello, I'm a huge addict, I've been working with Tyler on a project and have a couple of questions. Oh, how would you describe your relationship with Connor and how would you describe the NFL SE community? Well, I would say that it's incredible to be able to podcast with one of my best friends, genuinely.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Like, we say this all the time and we truly mean it. It's a joy to turn on the camera on the microphone because you guys make it fun, but Connor and Tyler do as well. I enjoy doing this show so much because I'm genuinely doing it with my good friends. And I think that that always makes the best content. And I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to do. that. And then how would you describe the NFLSCE community? It's hard to put it into words, you guys. Like, y'all, I say, like, it's great to do this and it's great to do this with friends.
Starting point is 00:09:15 You guys are in that bubble as well. When we started going live, we were just like, hey, you know what? I think it was Tyler. I think it was the chef who suggested he was like, hey, what if we just start going live? How do you feel about that? And I was like, ah, you know, it kind of messes up the flow. We got a good thing going here. But I'd never go back. Genuine. Like I never go back because, again, turning on the chat, getting to interact with you guys. That's what's all about.
Starting point is 00:09:42 It's a podcast. It's a show. It's the football. It's what community is all about. So, y'all are the absolute best. I appreciate you guys. So there we go. A couple of super chats.
Starting point is 00:09:49 And, of course, we'll read the super chats throughout the show. If I miss any of them, I'll try to read them after the show as well. But let's, uh, let's pull up the Kuiper mock. Let's get to it. So the way that the chef has done this here is he's putting Kuyper's final mock next to the current NFLS E mock, which was the seven round mock that we did on Tuesday, which Chiefs fans close your eyes and ears when we, you know, recap some of the picks that we had because I saw a lot of Chiefs fans after the seven round mock, they were like,
Starting point is 00:10:21 yo, this is a nightmare draft for the Chiefs. I was like, come on, it wasn't that bad. And I went back and looked at it and I was like, yeah, that didn't manifest the way that we that we kind of hoped that it would. So that's fair. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair call out there.
Starting point is 00:10:33 but we'll see if Kuiper can redeem us there with a better mock. So 1 through 10, we had the Browns still picking at 6. Kiper had the Cowboys trading up to number 6. So the two picks that we have the same here from Kuiper is we both had Fernandez Fernando Mendoza going number one overall. And then we both had Jeremiah Love going number four to the Tennessee Titans. Kiper still has David Bailey going number two. two, whereas we had Arville Reese going number two.
Starting point is 00:11:07 The, I think it was about a week ago that David Bailey became the betting favorite to go two. And now it's flipped to where Reese is back as the betting favorite for number two. I have throughout the whole time said, I think it's Reese. I think the Bailey stuff is smoke that's happening, you know, right before the draft. I think that it's going to be Arville Reese. The Jets canceled. Bailey's visit they did.
Starting point is 00:11:35 That doesn't necessarily mean that they're not going to take him, but they did cancel the top 30 visit that they had scheduled with David Bailey. I still do think it did it's Ardville Reese. So then obviously with Reese on the board, Kuiper has him going number three to the Arizona Cardinals, so that's where we get the difference. Man, Kuyper's got Caleb Downs going five of the Giants. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:56 He has the Cowboys trading up to number six for Sonny Stiles. So that part I definitely, that makes sense. I think the Cowboys really, really want Sunny Stiles. That's why the trade conversations have really started and it really started to heat up with them. It's kind of it's a matter of, okay, do they trade up to three to go get Sunny Stiles? Because we had Sunny Stiles go three in our draft. Or can they wait?
Starting point is 00:12:22 And if Stiles falls past where the Giants are at five, do they trade up to six? Can they get up to six where the Browns even want to trade to six? because you kind of got to get in front of the Washington commanders there at that point. Kuyper's got Carnal Tate going to the Washington commanders where we had David Bailey, because we had David Bailey falling a little bit. We had Carnell Tate then going to the New Orleans Saints at number eight. He has Ruben Bain to the Saints at 8, which I love, right?
Starting point is 00:12:47 I feel as though a lot of times when we do mocks, we either go Rubin Bain or Carnell Tate. So for him to go Rubin Bain, that's no surprise here. Jordan Tyson. So Kuyper's getting Tyson in it. to the chiefs where we had Caleb Downs going nine to the chiefs. And then Kuiper had Mansour Delane going number 10. And then we had Rubin Bain going to the Cincinnati Bengals at number 10. So the big differences here is Jordan Tyson.
Starting point is 00:13:19 He's got Jordan Tyson in the top 10, which is very, very interesting. So Tyson had his workout, his private workout because he didn't do anything at the combine. and then he didn't do anything at Arizona State's pro day because he was still getting over that hamstring injury. And apparently he ran routes, ran, I don't know, 20, 25 routes or something in front of NFL teams. I saw that he had one drop.
Starting point is 00:13:45 But Kuiper says, Kuyper's got him going top 10. And Conner's talked about that too. Connors talked about how the stock for Jordan Tyson is absolutely right there at number 10, or within the top 10, I should say. Then we get Mansour Delane. Obviously, we had Mansour Delane fall.
Starting point is 00:14:01 in our mock draft because I rigged it for him to go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Kuiper didn't rig it, and he had him going 10 overall to the Cincinnati Bengals. I do think that the top 10 of this mock does make sense, though. Because where our mock draft really started to deviate from a lot of the picks that Kuiper has is when I took Sunny Stiles, I think I took Sunny Stiles, at three overall for the Arizona Cardinals.
Starting point is 00:14:35 If we would have had David Bailey go at number two, like if Connor has David Bailey go at two, I would have had Arville Reese go at number three. We would have had Jeremiah Love go at number four. I think I still would have gone offensive tackle for the Giants. And then Stiles probably goes just seven, like the conversation that we were having when we were doing that seven-round mock draft, he could probably then go seven to Washington and the run.
Starting point is 00:15:01 rest would have probably stayed the same. So we would have almost, well, we would have had the exact same first four picks if you just switch the fact that he's got David Bailey going number two overall and we had Arville Reese going number two overall. Let's go to the next 10. I guess I don't really have anything else to say on this 10 until we get to the next one. So we've got our current mocker seven round mocked on the left side of things and then yeah, Borkington's saying I just can't get behind all this love to the Titans hype. It's just we talked about it on the show. I don't know why the Titans would think that they're in a spot where they can draft the running back at 4.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You don't have the O line for that. You don't have the facilities for that, big man, as the meme would say. I think it should be much more likely that they're going with offensive line. And we're just not having that conversation at all. I can't find a single mock draft that has the Titans going offensive line at 4 or even trading down and then going offensive line at number 4. So, yeah. Okay, let's go.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Peter said, don't disrespect my boy, Dan Moore Jr. like that. After all, I am the highest paid Danmore Jr. Wait, Peter, you're the highest paid Danmore Jr? I could believe that. I can believe that with how generous you've been with your donations here to this show.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I can believe that you're the highest paid Dan Moore Jr. And the Peter front is just a front. Okay, so we got Francis Maui Noah right. We both pick Francis Maui Noah there. Oh, Caden Proctor at 12. So he's got the Cleveland Browns trading from six down to 12, getting 12 and 20 from the Cowboys. And then he has Caden Proctor as the,
Starting point is 00:16:57 that's the second offensive lineman off the board, right? He didn't have an offensive lineman in his top 10. No, he didn't. All right. So second offensive tackle off the board, Caden Proctor going 12. This is very interesting because I feel as though I've heard some people very casually just drop like, yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:30 Caden Proctor could go six overall to Cleveland Browns. So now he has him trading back from 12 to get Caden Proctor. So I wonder if this is just your, we're kind of like connecting some intel here. That might be what this pick is about. This might be a lot more of, hey, what Kiper is hearing. than necessarily where he would take these players.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I know some people like Caden Proctor a lot. I think you guys know my thoughts at this point. I'll expand upon it when we do the Monday episode where we go through the entire pig board. I think Caden Proctor's a guard. I think he's a damn good guard and a really good guard prospect. But I think he's a guard.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Unless you can guarantee to me that he's going to play somewhere between 330 and 340 pounds, and you've got to guarantee that to me, I'd be primarily drafting him to play guard. You just don't love the supersized tackle thing. It just does not work out a lot. So, all right,
Starting point is 00:18:26 Caden Proctor, he's hit to the Cleveland Browns at 12. He's got Mikhail Mons to the Rams at 13. We had Omar Cooper Jr. Going to the Rams at 13. Makes sense. He's got Spencer Fano going to the Baltimore Ravens, and we had Vega Yawane going to the Baltimore Ravens.
Starting point is 00:18:39 So same process, thought process there. We had Mansour Delane going to the Buccaneers at number 15. He has Kenyon Sidique going to the Buccaneers at 15. I just don't, I don't, I do not think they're going to do it. I don't think they're going to do it. I can't remember if I said this on this channel or a different channel, but I just, I can't see the same general manager who got burned by O.J. Howard and the whole, he didn't produce as a receiver,
Starting point is 00:19:09 but he's got all this crazy athletic potential. He's a great blocker on the line of scrimmage. When in reality, like, he was okay, he was fine as a blocker on the line of scrimmage, It's not like he's, you know, a bulldozer of a blocker on the line of scrimmage. And Jason Light got burned by OJ. Howard. OJ. Howard never turned into the tight end that you project him to be when you draft him with a top 20 pick. And I just can't see the Buccaneers doing that.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I just can't see the Buccaneers doing that again. We had Jordan Tyson going to the Jets of 16. He has Omar Cooper going to the Jets of 16. So a lot of the thought process here on all of these picks is very much the same. He had Monroe Freeling going to the Lions. I had Maxianiture going to the Lions because I thought that, you know, him playing right tackle and then move Penny Sewell over to left. Plus, I think just the size and strength combination, the overall ceiling that Maxionature brings, I think is maybe more what the Lions tend to gravitate towards. He has Dylan Theanman going 18 to the Vikings.
Starting point is 00:20:10 I mean, that's a very common mock draft pick. We had Dylan Theenman going 12 to the Cowboys, so he was long gone off the board. Oh, whoa. Hold on here. He has Emmanuel McNeil Warren to the Panthers? They wouldn't pick a safety at... 19? They have Merrig, who's great as a downhill box safety.
Starting point is 00:20:43 They have Nick Scott, but they've got Lathen Ransom too. I think this is a little unfortunate Lathen Ransom erasure, and I think Ransom's going to be a good player. I think the Panthers could go a lot of different directions. I do not think that they would pick a safety at 19. E-Man War, you mean? Yeah, of course. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, correct. Yeah, this is a good shout out from Lou. No, Gerbonne McCoy, no Vega Yawane in the top 20. Wow. Jeff's saying there's no way an O-Lignment doesn't go in the top 10. I don't know about that. I think there's a chance. I do think that it's
Starting point is 00:21:34 If the Cardinals trade out a three All of a sudden those odds really drop Now if the Cardinals trade back and it's still within the top ten Then I kind of like the odds for an offense tackle to go in the top ten But if you remove the Cardinals as an option The Browns could certainly go wide receiver The Giants could go a lot of different options I could see that part
Starting point is 00:22:03 But man big of Yawane not being in the top 20 man, that would be, that would be, that would be a surprise to me. Wow. Okay, somebody in the chat said, as a Panthers fan that I don't hate it. Ryan's saying the Panthers would take Thinnaman if he was there. Man, I don't, I don't know about that. Somebody said, well, Bob said,
Starting point is 00:22:28 the only reason for Emmanuel McNeil Warren at 19 is if you're 100% cutting Merrick in 2027. They're not cutting Merritt. They like Merrick a lot. And they should. Merrick's a really good player. I think if anything, the Raiders regret moving on from Trayvon Merrick. I think he can do a lot of different things for you.
Starting point is 00:22:47 You know, does he have like true single high center fielder type of range? Okay, maybe not. But he's great as a downhill safety. He's great as a box safety. He could play as a coverage safety in two high splits. And then again, like, you know, you got Nick Scott, but then you got Latham Ransom as well. I think Lathen Ransom showed some really nice flashes last year.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I'd be surprised if McNeil Warren is the pick there for the for the Carolina Panthers. We had a key messador going at number 20 for the Dallas Cowboys. Obviously, we didn't have the Dallas Cowboys trade. So that's where you get some big differences that we have here. And then he has the Browns pairing that number 12 pick of them trading back and getting Caden Proctor with also Denzel Boston at 20. I don't know if you guys can hear that.
Starting point is 00:23:38 But my dog thinks that that's, whoa. Whoa. Now, I like Denzel Boston. I'm a Denzel Boston guy. think at this point in the process, again, a little too much hate. I think he's, I think he's, I think he's, I think we're going a little too far with the Denzel Boston hate. I think the guy can move pretty well. He's got the size, he's got good hands. He's got good vertical ability for being a bigger receiver. I think Denzel Boston's a good player. But he's going 20 here over who's left, actually. Oh, maybe all of them. No, he did. He had four wide receivers go, didn't he? Because he had Jordan Tyson going nine to the Chiefs. So Tate's off the board, Tyson's off the board. We got two wide receivers in the top 10. Lemon went to the Rams.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Omar Cooper went to the Jets. So it's basically just Denzel Boston over Casey Concepcion, which, to be honest with you, that I can buy into because the Browns sort of have the speed stuff already. So if they're saying, hey, let's get a wide receiver we don't have already, then Denzel Boston seems to make sense. Now, some people would tell you, hey, Casey is just a better wide receiver anyways. So maybe you just take that.
Starting point is 00:25:06 J-47 said, oh, wow, the dog was pounding the table for Pavia 20. He was, yeah, Marvel. Big Pavia guy. Big Pavia guy. Okay, all right. I walked myself through it. I see how we get there with Denzel Boston. I'm not sure a lot of people would agree.
Starting point is 00:25:26 But again, like I said, I do think that we're getting. It's a little too much hate. A little too much hate for Denso, Boston at this point. Okay, before we reveal the next 12, I think we'll do the next 12 to round out the first round there. So I've been watching YouTube videos, and there are YouTubers out there, guys, that are saying that YouTube or something has been happening
Starting point is 00:25:49 where you've been unsubscribe from certain channels. To be honest with you, I don't know how true that is, but it gives us a great excuse to say if you could check to see if you're subscribed to our show and if you're not, we would love for you to be. We'd love for you to be part of the addicts. Whether you feel like you subscribed before or not, again, I don't know how true that is,
Starting point is 00:26:10 but if you could take a second and check if you're subscribing, and if you're not, we would love for you to be. We still got that goal. 75K subs before the draft. And we might have to do, hey, until right after the draft, but we'll see. The goal marches on. So if you've enjoyed anything that we have done here at NFLSC,
Starting point is 00:26:26 we would love for you guys. to be a part of the addicts. We have a lot of, we have a lot of fun around here. See, this is, this is bad. This is bad here, Tyler, because Peter just said
Starting point is 00:26:41 that we're so close to 67,000 subs. And I fear that the addicts are just going to sub and ubsub until we're just at 66,999 because they don't want me to say that we're at 67,000 subs.
Starting point is 00:27:05 That's, See, actually, you know what? You know what I like better? I like the campaign of, let's see how fast you guys can get off of 67,000 followers and get the 68,000 followers. That's what I'm going to say and say. So anyways, check and see if you're subscribed.
Starting point is 00:27:19 If you're not, we would love for you to be a part of the addicts. It's an incredible community. Appreciate all these people so much, and I know you guys will love them. Okay. Let's get back to the mock draft here. Let's go, Tyler, did you do 21 to 32? I'm guessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Rounding things out here. So the Cardinals are picking 30 here in this one. Vagiawanae to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Okay, all right, okay. Oh, hold on. Where's Mel Kiper from? Is he from Pittsburgh? You guys accuse me of rigging it for the Buccaneers
Starting point is 00:27:54 when we did the seven-round mock draft. He's got Vega-Yuanay outside of the top 20 going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Where's Mel Kiper from? We're looking this up. No, where's the Wikipedia page? Mel Kuiper Jr., born in Baltimore, Maryland.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Wait, okay, so he's born in Baltimore, Maryland. Who do you have to go to the Raidans? Somebody said he's a Packers fan. Somebody said he's a Ravens fan. Okay, so he is a Ravens fan. Oh, yeah, it's Spencer Fano going 14 of the Ravens. I don't know, folks. I don't know, folks.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I don't know, folks. I don't know about that. A little foul play here, but then it doesn't make sense for him to rig it for the Steelers. to get Vagia Juane, but maybe he's trying to get you off of his trail here. I'm saying like, no, no, no. Okay, I rigged it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Got Spencer Fano down to 14. And now let's make sure that I get Yuwana to the Steelers so they don't get on me about this. And Peter said, Insider Trading. Kagan said, no, no, no, let him cook here. I'm guessing that Kagan's a Steelers fan. Because this is a phenomenal pick. If Vegu Yawane gets to number 21,
Starting point is 00:29:23 I mean, it could not be easier for the Steelers. all the talk of like, oh, potential quarterback, wide receiver, maybe corner. What do you go with here? If Egeo Juane is on the board, we're not talking about anything else. So this is very interesting. He does how Brady said Kuyper shops a safe way and he rents tuxes. That's, we might have to have him on the show to make sure that he could clear his name there because that's some, that's some, that is some serious accusations. So for the charges at 22, he has them taking Peter Woods.
Starting point is 00:29:52 So this is interesting for two reasons. He has Peter Woods going into the first round. that is interesting in and of itself. But the second part of this is like, I don't know if Peter Woods really helps the Chargers defensive line the way that you would want to. Because to me,
Starting point is 00:30:08 I feel like the Chargers need they need pass rush, but they need like, to me they need more of like edge pass rush, not necessarily interior. Because they brought back to your tar. They have Jamari Caldwell. To me, they need
Starting point is 00:30:26 more of that run stuff than Peter Woods. And I just don't trust Woods to do that. So that's an interesting pick there from him. We had Mackay Lemon last on all the way to 23 for the Philadelphia Eagles. He has Blake Miller going to 23. Hmm. I suppose.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I mean, if you don't think that Lane Johnson is going to be there that much longer, then Blake Miller, you get to have him sit behind Lane Johnson. I mean, it's obviously a phenomenal mentor there. So 24 for the Browns. Oh, the Browns. have three first round picks in this scenario. Shoot, so the Browns drafted Caden Proctor at 12. They drafted Denzel Boston at 20.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And now they've got Charmaud McCoy at 24. Sheesh. Okay. That's pretty sick haul. I don't mind that. I don't mind that at all. I mean, Germant McCoy also plays the style of man covered, like Pressman Coverage Corner that the Cleveland Browns have played over the past couple of years.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Now, I know it's not Jim Schwartz who is still there. Who's your defense coordinator now? What's your DC? Mike Ruttemberg. Mike, I'm not familiar with your game. I'm not sure. Where was he before? Where was Mike Ruttnberg before?
Starting point is 00:31:59 Browns fans? We got any Browns fans in the chat? What are you playing? You playing press man still? What are you doing? You doing the single high stuff? You're getting aggressive? Where was he previously?
Starting point is 00:32:10 He was Atlanta's defensive pass. game coordinator. He was a Jets linebacker coach for four years prior to that. I wonder if they're going to do some more zone stuff. Interesting. All right. Well, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:32:29 We'll see if that is, if that's the case. But I love Jermann McCoy anyway, so getting him outside of the top 20, I like the talent there. Yeah, Conner's saying, I think he's a salad guy. Yeah, I think he is a salad guy.
Starting point is 00:32:45 So it'd be more zone stuff. Not sure if I love McCoy for the fit there. but I love the talent. Kuiper does have Zion Young getting in the first round for the Chicago Bears. Peter, thumbs up, thumbs down. Need to know. Any other Bears fan in the chat?
Starting point is 00:33:00 How do we feel about Zion Young, being the pick here at 25? Because I always feel like the Chicago Bears could go a variety of different ways. Peter said in the chat, he likes salads. Yeah, who doesn't? Rufian said he's a salad guy? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Everybody said, what do you guys question salads? Hold on. We going after salads now? nice Caesar salad nice mixed green little balsamic vinaigrette come on to summertime we got to get in the salads
Starting point is 00:33:30 whoa AJ said Safeways greater than salads wow Charlie's saying we're big salad haters I can't believe this I can't believe this there we go Corey's saying balsamic for the boys yeah absolutely Nicholas said no calories
Starting point is 00:33:59 just water and fiber yeah it's a bodybuilder's dream you got to get it in there Trevor gets his salads from Trapoleoleon Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes they'll tell them to put the lettuce on the bottom. You know, if I'm feeling it, yeah, I'm feeling healthy. You know what I'm saying? It's like going to a barbecue place and going like, yeah, yeah, I'll take the collards.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I mean, I'm about to eat 3,000 worth of calories in barbecue sauce and meat fat. But sure, you know, throw some greens on there so I can write it off to my body and be like, yeah, yeah, no, no, we ate healthy today. We got the greens in there. Anyways, Zion Young to the Chicago Bears at 25. Buffalo Bills, he has them taking Keldrick Falk. I'm going to be completely honest here. Hate it. Genuinely do.
Starting point is 00:34:45 I think Keldrick Falk plays the Buffalo Bill's deepest defensive position, which is that sort of like four-eye defensive end and the odd front that Jim Leonard's going to run. They have T.J. Sanders, Landon Jackson, Michael Hoyt, Greg Rousseau, I mean, Ed Alton. Oliver's probably going to play some of that defensive end spot. Ideally, Dion Walker would play that defensive end spot
Starting point is 00:35:15 because they'd have another nose tackle there. I, yeah. I understand the pressure of getting Keldrick Falk in the first round because I have felt that pressure myself, even though I don't believe he's a first round player. But if you think that he's going first round, like if you're hearing that, then you kind of got to find a spot for him. But unfortunately, I think that this is Buffalo's deepest position,
Starting point is 00:35:37 so I don't love that one. He's got Maxi Onature going to the 49. I don't know that. Christian Miller going to the Houston Texans at 28. Absolutely love that. We had Caleb Banks going at 28 to Houston, but I think that Christian Miller fits what they need more. It's just a matter of, you know, do they think that he's a first round talent if they do love this pick for them. At 29, the Kansas City Chiefs, he has them taking Colton Hood, so they came away with Jordan Tyson and Colton Hood. We had them taking Kenyon Sadieke, so it was Caleb Downs and Kenyon Sadieke. We had Colton Hood going one pick
Starting point is 00:36:12 later to the Miami Dolphins. He has Ty Simpson going to the Arizona Cardinals who are trading up from 34 to 30 to go get Ty Simpson, get that extra first round pick there. We had T.J. Parker to the New England Patriots at 31. He had Keem Messador going at 31 of the Patriots. So, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Like, if you, you know, if you got a Keymessador on the board, yeah, he makes a ton of sense. We had a Keem. Where did we have a Keem going off the board? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. You're right, you're right. Tyler, just got in my ear and reminded me
Starting point is 00:36:46 that I'm an absolute moron, and that he had the graphic set up correctly for me to ask these very questions. We had him 20, because the number 20 is right next to a key message to his name. Thank you, Tyler. Appreciate it. And then, sadly, Mel Khyper did not have Emmanuel Pregnan
Starting point is 00:37:04 going to the Seattle Seawkson number 32, so we would not get another episode of Brett Coleman falling out of his chair with joy, delight for Pregnon going to the Seattle Seahawks and said he had Judarian Price. So two running backs in the first round here for Mel Tiber. I don't see it. I don't see it. I think we get one.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I just can't really see another running back going in the first round. James said that people are way too low on Mestore. I agree. I agree wholeheartedly. Hunter's saying, what's the hypergitarian price? I don't get it. He's a really athletic running back. And in outside zone rushing concepts, his highlight reel is awesome.
Starting point is 00:37:45 You get him to the edge, you block a little bit for him. Boom. He shot out of a cannon. But to me, the same way I thought about Trayvion Henderson. I really only saw him as an outside zone type of a runner. So to me, he was really scheme specific, and I didn't love his vision consistently between the tackles. I kind of feel the same way about Judarian Price.
Starting point is 00:38:02 That's why I was lower on Trayvion on Henderson, and that's why I'm lower on Judarian Price. Think I have Judarian Price maybe in the 70s on my big board? I wouldn't even come close to considering another running back in the first round. Jonah Coleman's my RB2, and I think he's like in the 60s somewhere. So if you run a lot of outside zone stuff, totally get liking Judarian Price. But if you're a team that's even close to 50-50
Starting point is 00:38:25 with more power run game stuff between the tackles versus, you know, getting out to the sideline, I just don't love it. I just don't love the value there. Somebody said, talk about the Bears, not your salad choices. I did. Zion Young going to the Bears.
Starting point is 00:38:47 I asked Peter if you liked it. I actually didn't see it. Peter liked it. Coobee Hake is indeed gone from the Seattle Ciox. He asks as the chat is saying, look, Zion Young is absolutely a Dennis Allen type of defense event. He's got the strength. He's got the weight.
Starting point is 00:39:00 He's got the arm length. He plays the run really hard. I don't think he's got a great first step. I don't know if he's going to be a consistent pass rusher for you. So if you're really trying to get used to pass rusher, I mean, honestly, just draft Malachi Lawrence. But I can understand. wanting to get
Starting point is 00:39:21 baseline first and second down value from your first round pick. Oh, okay, so Peter had a bunch of thumbs down emojis and I thought that the thumbs down emojis were for salads, not for Zion Young. So now I know that it would have been for Zion Young. Graham said, I want Christian Miller, the defensive tackle from Georgia.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I'm assuming as a Bears fan that you would want him there at number 25. So okay, there's the first round that we have for, for Mel Kuiper. Before we get to round two, because there is a full second round here, folks. We got a new partner here from this show. It's their friends over at Pickpool, all right? So look, you keep tweeting the mock drafts, but nobody really cares about him until now. Connor and I, very excited to introduce Pickpool to you guys today.

Starting point is 00:41:07 where you're picking all 32 picks of the mock draft, you can do that. There's a potential of 500 total entries on that one. But then if you don't want to do the full 32, you can do the top 10. There's also 500 entries on that one. So you can see specifically the NFLSC contest before you join the contest. So you can do that.
Starting point is 00:41:30 The way that it works is if you get a player, let's say you're doing a top 10 draft. If you get, like I say, Caleb Downs is going to go number 10 to the Bengals. If he goes number five to the New York Giants, you still get one point. So that's way that you get one point. But then there's two points if you get the play. player and the team correct or the, sorry, the contest range and the position. So like if I have Caleb Downs going number 10 overall to the Bengals, but somebody like trades up, like let's say Dallas trades up to number 10 and they draft Caleb Downs, where you still got the position
Starting point is 00:42:04 and the player right and the range right. So you get two points there. And then you can also get it right for the correct team. So again, let's say I have Caleb Downs going 10 to the Bengals. The Bengals trade up to number five and they still draft Caleb Downs. That's still a pairing where you get two right. And of course, you know, Fernando Mendoza, going number one overall to the Las Vegas traders.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Boom, that's how you get three points. So that's the rules. Let's run through a quick little top 10. Let's get into it. Fernando Mendoza, of course, going number one overall.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I still think it's going to be R.vel We're used to the Jets. Let's do that one there. Three of the Cardinals, let's go David Bailey. I'm going to go David Bailey here for this one. Let's go Jeremiah Love for the, for the Tennessee Titans.
Starting point is 00:42:47 still think it's sunny styles. The New York Giants. Carnell Tate for the Browns. Let's go. Let's go Ruben Bain. Yeah, let's go Ruben Bain for Washington. Let's go Ruben Bain for Washington. Who do I want going eight?
Starting point is 00:43:13 New Orleans. Let's go Jordan Tyson. Let's go Jordan Tyson for this one. Got to be a little bit different. Got to separate ourselves a little bit here. Chiefs Mansour Delane will get a little bit of redemption
Starting point is 00:43:30 and have the lane go and then let's go Caleb Downs number 10 to the Cincinnati Banko. So there we go. It is that easy folks. That's how you submit it. And you can do that with all the addicts. Really, I think the contest

There's a lot of different contests you choose from. Pickpool, the pick is your win. Back to the Kuiper Mock. Round two. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Let's reveal it here. The next 10 picks. Hey, we got C.J. Allen to the Jets. We don't normally have matches in the second round. But C.J. Allen going to the Jets here at 33. We got that one. The dolphins traded. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So the dolphins traded back from the first round to the second round. The Arizona Cardinals hopped up from 34 to 30 to go get Ty Simpson. Man, he has the dolphins taking Jeremy Bernard at 34. Jeremy Bernard, a fringe first-round wide receiver? I don't know about that, folks. I like Jeremy Bernard, but 34? Wait a second. Casey Concepcion didn't go yet.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Whoa. Whoa. That's bold. He's got Malachi Lawrence going to the Titans at 35. See, now we're cooking. Now he's back into cook. Okay? He's...
Starting point is 00:45:37 Jeremiah love at four. now you got the pass rusher Malachi Lawrence. Now you feel all right about it. The offensive line still didn't get addressed, but I don't know if it's going to. To be honest with you guys, I don't know. Caden McDonald, he's got McPounder going to the Las Vegas Raiders at number 36.
Starting point is 00:45:55 So it's Brennan Medoze at 1. Caden McDonald at 36 there. He has Keelan Rutledge at 37 to the Giants. We had Christian Miller going to the Giants, expecting that Dexter Lawrence ain't going to be there much longer. See, we had Judarian Price here going to the Houston. Houston Texans at 38, and then he had Chase Pissontas, which I like. I actually really like that setup there.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Who do you have Houston take it up back into the first round? Can I see that one? Oh, it's Christian Miller. Okay, so Christian Miller, Chase Bissontas, really nice one-two combo there for the Houston, Texas. I like that. T.J. Parker going 39 to the Dallas Cowboys, so that means that the Dallas Cowboys came away with Sonny Stiles and T.J. Parker, trading up to go get Stiles.
Starting point is 00:46:40 We had the Brown sitting here at 39 because they didn't trade up. And this is A.J. Halsey. He's got Armeson Thomas going to the Chiefs. We had DeAngelo Pons going to the Chiefs. So getting a different type of pass rusher there for them. Bengals, we had Jake Golda. He has Cassius. Okay, I can see that. We had Cassius Al going at 42, so the right range.
Starting point is 00:46:58 And then, man, he had Casey Concepcion going to the Saints at 42. If the Saints were able to get Rubin Bain and Casey Concepcion would pick number 8 and 42, that's. Hoo! Okay. That's cooking. I don't think you will. I don't think Casey's lasting at 42.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Rutledge over Bissontas feels a little strange. I kind of can feel like that might happen. I'll be honest. Like I think there's a world where that could happen. I think all Rutledge, Bessantis, Pregnon, I feel like we're hearing whispers of any of these guys are potential first round guys. So I think there's a world where this could all be possible here.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Let's go to the next 10 here. Tyler, if you don't mind, turn on the page. That one wasn't too controversial. See, we had Telgic Falk all the way at 43 to the Dolphins. So he's got Chris Johnson going to the Dolphins at 43, and I think that's an excellent scheme fit because Jeff Halfley ran a lot more off-zone coverage stuff when he was the defense coordinator with the Packers.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Now he's the head coach for Miami. And I think that's really the spot that you have to have Chris Johnson play and I just don't want him impressed man a ton so he had Brandon Cise going to the Jets at 44 then at 45 he's got
Starting point is 00:48:19 Eli Stowers from Vanderbilt we had Stowers going 62 he's got him going 45 I think there's a world where Stowers goes top 50 so I don't think this is too crazy at all oh my gosh okay so he's got the bucks going Jacob Rodriguez at 46 to Tampa
Starting point is 00:48:35 we had R Mason Thomas going to the Buccaneers so who's his haul for the bucks now it's Keny and Sanchez Sadeek and Jacob Rodriguez, I guess. Yeah. I think Bucks fans would be very happy about that. I think they would.
Starting point is 00:48:52 See, Anthony Hill 47. God, you lose me at Anthony Hill as a top 50 pick. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know that a lot of people love Anthony Hill. I see a lot of people in the chat even. Really big Anthony Hill fans, like they would take him around this range. In the 40s, something early second, mid-second round.
Starting point is 00:49:11 I'm just a little bit lower on him. I see the speed. I see the track speed. I see the athleticism. I think he's got to play a lot more physical in the NFL than he played in college. And it's just so hard for me to say like, oh, yeah, now he's in the NFL. He'll definitely play a lot more physical. Maybe he will.
Starting point is 00:49:24 If he does, I think there's a world where he could be worth that pick because of his speed. But I just think he's got a long way to go there. It takes Lee Hunter at 48 to the Atlanta Falcons, which is funny now because the Falcons, I don't know if you guys saw this. This happened like an hour and a half before we went live here. The Falcons did, in fact, free Rooka Rowero from the nose tackle spot by trading his ass to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Mason Smith.
Starting point is 00:49:52 When we said that we didn't want him to be at the nose anymore, we didn't say that you had to trade him. We just wanted to play defensive end. I don't mind the trade. I mean, I like to trade a lot more for Jacksonville because they're acquiring a player who I was higher on pre-draft. I mean, Mason Smith is an incredibly talented player, but missed a lot of time where he was at LSU.
Starting point is 00:50:10 And I just feel like the way that he plays, the NFL is barely a development. league guys. I wouldn't say it's not because some guys do develop, but when Mason Smith was coming out of college, I mean, he had the ACL tear, he missed a bunch of time due to injury, and that really affected his development. Because of that, his hands were really refined, didn't really have a good pass rush plan. I mean, he's built like a monster of a defensive tackle, but super high pad level, always was losing the leverage battle. So I think he could potentially make more sense for the Falcons if they want to stick with him at nose tackle, but I think that was more of a win for the Jaggs than it was for the Falcons.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Uh, let's see. Oh, somebody said, uh, Mason with the, Peter Sam Mason with the LSU. Yeah, did I say that he went to Michigan? Either way. Yeah, he went to, he went to. Oh, somebody in the chat, Jake says Stowers goes top 40. All right.
Starting point is 00:51:04 All right. Bold call. Jack St. Trevor, if you don't find a sick job as a draft date unless I'm going to be pissed. And I say that as a hater because my introduction to you was when you were pro Drake May over Jaden Daniels. Well, I am glad to know. that my takes have allowed somebody
Starting point is 00:51:26 to have a first impression of me of a take that they really didn't like and yet they're still coming around and hanging out watching the show. We really appreciate you. Thank you, Jack. We have Peter Woods going 49 to the Vikings. Oh, that lies Mike Washington going 49 to the Vikings.
Starting point is 00:51:45 So we got three running backs in the top 50. I don't know. I don't know, Jim. I don't know, Jim. God, it's rich for me. It's just rich for me. Oh, this is, funny at 50. We had Jayshon Barnum, the edge director from Michigan going to the Detroit Lions.
Starting point is 00:52:05 He has Derek Moore, the edge Russia from Michigan going to the Detroit Lions. That's pretty funny. We had Chris Bell going to the Panthers at 51. He has Caleb Lomu lasting until 51? I think that's going to happen. Caleb Lomu outside of the top 50? I know he needs development, but we're locked in on Avion Terrell, which is, I think is very funny because we both have Avion Terrell for the Packers at 52.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I don't think that Aviontearle is going to go to the Packers. I don't. He's not a Packers Corner. He's just not built like a Packers Corner. They've never drafted a player with his measurables. And especially with him, you know, running slow. I just don't think it's going to happen. But we were guilty of it as well.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Yeah. Stuff. All right. Rounding it out. Last 12 picks. Getting to 64. I think the big surprise there was honestly Lomu. Lomu going outside the top 50.
Starting point is 00:53:22 All right, so he's got Zachari Branch going 53 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has Oscar Delp going 54? What? 54. 54. I had Oscar Delp tight in two like two years ago. And I think that that's rich at this point in time. Wow.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I still am not ready to give up on Oscar Delp. But I just don't think he's. had the career where you pick him at 54. I wonder if this is him hearing about some increased height for Oscar Delp. Man. So he has him going to the Philadelphia Eagles, which I do think could be a good depth fit, especially with Calcutera and Dallas Goddard on just one year deals. I like the idea of Delps sort of being your titan too, but to me, to me, I don't think Delp's going to be a tight end one in the NFL. So that's rich at 54 for me. We had Jennings Dunker going to the Los Angeles charges at 55.
Starting point is 00:54:34 He has Emmanuel Pregnone. Okay, like that's obviously much better if you can get pregnant on at 55. But we had Pregnon going at 32. So he wasn't even close to being available here. Lee Hunter going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at 56. He has Jason Barnum going at 56. So I saw somebody in the chat saying that 50 is just really early for Barnum. He's got Barnum going 56.
Starting point is 00:54:51 So we had Barnum going 50. He's got him going 56 here. And then for the Chicago Bears at 57, we had them taking Keontek, Scott. He has them taking Trading Stute. which we had Stukes going 61 to the Los Angeles Rams. Wow. Peter, how do we feel about it? So the Bears draft for Kuiper is Zion Young and Trading Stukes.
Starting point is 00:55:22 And our draft for the Bears was, oh, wait a second. Well, no, hold on, hold on. We got to keep going. We got to keep going because the Bears are at 60. I am so surprised by this. Oh, my gosh. So Brett was on for our seven round mock draft And he had Logan Jones the center from Iowa going 59 to Houston
Starting point is 00:55:47 Which I thought was early for Logan Jones I like Logan Jones But I like a more like fringe top 100 end of the third round Than I do end of the second round But Mel has Logan Jones going 60 to the Bears Interesting I think Logan Jones is an excellent fit for Ben Johnson though So the fit love it
Starting point is 00:56:10 Absolutely love it he did have the San Francisco 49ers at 58 taking Gabacus and then at 59 he has them taking the Houston Texans taking DeAngelo Pond so that's where Pons goes we had him go at 40. I mentioned trading Stukes is 61 to the Rams is what we had. He has Josiah Trotter going to them at 61, which now the chat has to say the thing that they have yelled at us the whole time
Starting point is 00:56:35 and it's the Rams don't care about linebackers. We had Eli Stowers going 62 to the to the, of Broncos, which kind of feels like a pipe dream for them. Like, it feels like that's like best case scenario. Because Mel had him going 45, I think so well earlier than this. He has Caleb Banks going here at 62. I kind of think the range is all over the place. Yeah, people in the chat are saying that Pons is just too good to last until number 59.
Starting point is 00:57:05 I agree with you. I mean, we had him going 40. I think he's the top 25 player in the class. Banks going 62. I think there's some people in the chat who are questioning this one. It's hard to trust a 330-pound man with multiple foot injuries now. I think that Caleb Banks is going to be off teams boards completely. I think that he's going to be like red flagged for injuries.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And they're just going to say, nope, somebody else dropped him. Not going to be us. AJ said Mike Renner said the banks should go on day three. I don't think he will go day three. I think that's too far for me. Somebody's going to take a chance on him somewhere on day three. but I think that here at 62, it's kind of crazy to see his name next to that number,
Starting point is 00:57:49 but it's hard to trust guys who are that big who already have foot injuries. Patriots, he hasn't taken Chris Brasel. We had Chris Brasel going about 10 spots later at 74. And then we had Derek Moore going to the Seattle Seahawks to round out the second round. He has Malik Mohamed. We had Malik Mohamed going in the fourth round.
Starting point is 00:58:06 We had him at 103. I'd be surprised if Malik Mohamed goes this high. I just think that his tape was... Now, I mean, he's built... He's built bigger for a corner, so maybe that's the allurement there, especially with the Seahawks. Enrique Woolen is gone now. But yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:28 There we go, folks. Mel Khyper's mock draft. Make sure you go support Mel. Get that ESPN Plus subscription. Read all of his great work. I've been covering the draft for forever. He's the godfather. He's the legacy person here.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I think a good reason why a lot of us have jobs covering the draft is because Mel was such a personality and such a cornerstone that made it what must watch TV every single time that that people tuned into the draft in the, you know, the 90s, the 2000s, you know, as that was sort of growing in everything. So, yeah, check out all of his great work, obviously, over at ESPN. Shoot, and you know what, and if you're not the biggest Melchiper fan, well, you know, that's your, that's your choice in your opinion. But if you have an ESPN plus subscription, it does mean that you also get to support friends of the show, Jordan Reef. Ben Solac, you know, like there's just, it's a plethora of reasons of why you could get an ESPN Plus subscription.
Starting point is 00:59:25 So, oh, ESPN Plus doesn't exist anymore. What are they calling it now? What are you just sub it to ESPN.com? Or maybe is it not behind a payable at all? There's no. No, no. No, no. That can be.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Anyways, however you can support Mel Khyber. Just support Malkyper. He's been doing a long time. Appreciate everybody watching the show, even if with it was just, you know, me flying solo here. Well, not solo. I'm here with you guys. And I'm here with the chef. And I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:59:48 A little spontaneous episode. We wanted to get another episode in. But Monday, on Monday, we're going to be revealing Conorized different big boards. So we're going to have our big boards. I think we'll probably end up doing the top 100. You guys obviously can sort of shout out like, hey, I didn't see this person on the top 100.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Where are they on the board? It'll be a longer episode. So we'll be able to get to that and really cover the big board the way that we want to, especially since we didn't get to do the final cornerback ranking episode. Then we will be off Tuesday, I believe. And then Wednesday we will have the final mock draft episode for you. I just realized this, that the mock draft competition, like a different mock draft competition that Connor and I enter that's sort of just for like media members, I have to have my
Starting point is 01:00:29 mock draft published somewhere. So normally like Connor and I sort of like do a final mock draft here on the show. But I think the way that we need to do it is we need to go side by side. Here's Connor's final mock draft. Here's my final mock draft. And we'll go through it on the show with you guys together because I have to have a place that is like something that won't change where I could put my mock draft. so I think that that's the best way to do it.
Starting point is 01:00:49 So I think that that's probably how we will do that for you guys on Wednesday. There might be a special treat for you guys here on the channel for draft night when it comes to the draft itself, but we will, of course, be live. It is the tradition unlike any other, the 1 a.m. post round one show that we go live and we do here on this channel. We will be doing that as well this year. So that's kind of our schedule, I guess, for the next seven days. Make sure you guys stick around if you want to hear me read off the super chats that we got here on the show.
Starting point is 01:01:28 We got a handful of those that I will run through in the after the episode portion. Make sure you guys sign up for the NFLSC Discord, which is free, which you can find the link basically everywhere on our socials and the link to the descriptions in the show, all that good stuff. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet. Make sure you're following Connor and I on the social. and the NFLSC socials as well. I think that's it. I'm wrapping this bad boy up. Appreciate everybody watching and listening
Starting point is 01:01:53 to this episode of the NFL Stock Exchange Show. We will see you guys next Monday for Draft Week. See you then.
