Starting point is 00:00:00 The NFL draft is this week at Long Last Kids. We made it and as tradition the week of the draft, we are doing our Fumble Ruski mock draft. This is the Fumble Ruski podcast. It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot.
Starting point is 00:00:27 He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. This is the Fumblerusky podcast brought to you by Poweradeate, Dean Radio and Seeker Web Consulting. I'm your host this time, the Draft Guy himself, CJ Medeiros, no, I'm sorry. Every year I say, well, I'm a big Draft Guy, and Adam hates me for it, but whatever.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I'm- You are the Draft Guy, though. Thanks, Chris. Either way, I'm your resident Draft Guy, CJ Medeiros, and with me, of course, is Chris Kostich, and a very special surprise, Justin Tucker, our favorite Ravens fan. Look at him go. Ah, you'll love to see it.
Starting point is 00:01:11 So as I said earlier, we are doing our annual mock draft, which we always do the week of the draft. I'm excited. I know you all are. So the way this goes is we split it into three segments and each one of us takes a segment Chris You're gonna be doing picks one through ten tuck You're going picks on through 21 and I'm gonna bring up the rear with 22 through 32
Starting point is 00:01:34 I probably butchered those numbers, but yeah, whatever. Yeah, I got the numbers right pause. No, diddy. There will be no diddy. So Here we go Chris as you know, the Tennessee Titans are on the board or I mean on the clock one Who's coming off the board first? This is pretty much an obvious one at this point, especially with all the reports that have come out but quarterback for Miami cam ward come out, but quarterback from Miami, Cam Ward. Look, Tennessee has pretty much made it very, very, very, very clear that they're going to move on from Will Levis at this point. And all sides pointed in this direction before the combine, really more so after the combine, especially with reports that they ended up canceling meetings with Schitter, Sanders and a bunch of other prospects as well. So this has been very clear that the Titans are going to go this direction.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And I would expect that he would be the starter for this upcoming season, but you never know. Maybe they go a couple of games with Will Levesque. I don't know. We're also talking. I'm talking Like months from now at this point, which we don't need to be doing Number two pick held by the Cleveland Browns Travis Hunter from Colorado Wide receiver cornerback. Is he gonna play both ways? who knows but this is Very debatably the best play player available at this point. You could say Abdul Carter, Shay, you could say Ash and Jeenty, but Travis Hunter is most
Starting point is 00:03:17 notably probably the best player available at the number two pick. So you go that route. And if you're the Browns, fine by you. Jerry Judy's shown up as a very good wide receiver. So you can pair him up there. Browns also need a lot of help on defense, especially with the fact that they were extremely injured on the defensive side of the football. I mean, whole team was battling injuries all year, but defense especially. So you get a guy like that, that plays both sides. Obviously we don't know if he will play both sides, but regardless of what you
Starting point is 00:03:50 have there still amazing, amazing player to have, regardless of what position you put him at number three pick giants, Abdul Carter from Penn State defensive end, same thing with Travis Hunter. state defensive end. Same thing with Travis Hunter. This is a one of those like once in a lifetime athletes and someone that gets a lot of comparisons to Mike Parsons and for good reason. A lot of the same physicals, a lot of same intangibles. This is a guy that's going to really ramp up the Giants defensive line and all and a defense that was already a very stout defense last season but and Probably could have been a probably an above-average team if they had a competent offense
Starting point is 00:04:37 So obviously you could think that Giants could go offense instead, but Abdul Carter is the best pick at this point could go offense instead, but Abdul Carter is the best pick at this point. Patriots, number four pick. With all that being said, now that the top three is out of the way, they decide, you know what? Let's focus on the tackle. We're going to go Will Campbell from LSU. Jesus Christ, Adam. I'm not even going to repeat that. But Will Campbell, short arms doesn't matter. You watch the film, he doesn't get beat because of short arms. But this is an all American tackle. He will be an all pro tackle. Will Campbell is, there's a reason that he's projected to be a top five pick
Starting point is 00:05:24 as a offensive lineman in all totality. So this is by far the best pick for the Patriots at the number four spot at this point. They don't, yeah, they can go wide or shooter, but that would be a reach for Capcom. They'll stay Will Campbell's reach because of him being an offensive lineman at four But everyone's gonna be really That being said, fifth pick Jaguars You know after we've got everything it starts with defense. We're gonna go to be tackle Mason Graham from Michigan and well for good reason because the details they have are a bunch of nobodies,
Starting point is 00:06:06 Yvonne Hamilton and Jordan Jefferson. And they already have all this stuff going on, Eric Armstead, Rayvon Walker, Josh Kynes-Allen. It's there. Finished the job. Maybe we get more of that. Maybe we go back to what Jacksonville used to do. Jacksonville. Amazing defense that they had from that 17-18 season. Six pick Raiders. Gonna go running back fast in Gen 2.
Starting point is 00:06:36 If you look at the Raiders step chart right now, running back, we went over this when we covered running backs last week. running back. We went over this when we covered running backs last week. Raheem Oster, Sincere McCormick, Zameer White. And this is a team that's had trouble running the ball. Basically the last two, three seasons, Josh Jacobs was hurt a lot. First year without Josh Jacobs, they were bottom of the league in total rushing yards, rushing yards per game, you name it. They sucked. Now there was a lot of problems with the Raiders, just the entire team in general, their offense for starters, of course. But this is where you get on the right track at that point, especially when you pair a guy,
Starting point is 00:07:20 pair them up with maybe with Gino Smith. And when you got Gino Smith with Pete Carroll, that's going to be some magic right there. Him, AshenGT learning from Pete Carroll itself is enough to make it a good pick. Number seven, Jets. They're also going to go off at the tackle. Our man Memmu from Missouri, second best tackle in the draft easily. And we look at the Jets, kind of the same thing that I just said with the Raiders. Everything was just dysfunction last season. You could point the finger at Rogers, you could point the finger at the defense, you could point the finger at anybody. One of their biggest problems that they did not have a good O-line, which is a reason why Aaron Rodgers towards Achilles to begin with.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Terrible O-line, just terrible offense in general. So this is a no brainer. Panthers they're gonna go linebacker Jalen Walker from Georgia. Look right off the bat when you think of defensive players, some of the best defensive players in the league, especially when you look at Philly's defense, a lot of guys from Georgia. The Georgia defense, you could pretty much say in the same breath as Bama's defensive players that have gone to the league in the last decade, they are dogs, absolute dogs. the I don't know if I can be heard. We can hear you. Join me backstage as the producer but I need to leave.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah, now. Wow. That was. Thank you. Thank you for leaving. That was about to get really ugly and we were about to lose a lot of listeners right there. But anyways, Jalen Walker. But anyways, Jalen Walker, Panthers got rid of Brian Burns, probably a bad deal, bad trade. Now he's in with the Giants. So this is basically a pick where you're thinking this is the next Brian Burns that we need, this is the next defensive cornerstone that we need to have. Moving on, number nine, Saints. Shider Sanders, Colorado. Look, when you take everything aside in terms of Shadr Sanders,
Starting point is 00:09:53 he is also a guy that is going to take care of the football. And Derek Carr, most likely going to be out for the season. You've seen a little bit of Spencer Radler, and you're probably not a fan of what you saw. After that, it's Jay Kainer and Ben DiNucci. You don't really have much else of a choice. You need to go quarterback. You need to do something about that.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Because at this point, you're not going to have Derek Carr for much longer either. Never mind Spencer Rattler. So you got to go shoot Ers Sanders. This is a guy that's going to be able to take care of the football as well and maybe not throw a ton of hospital passes. Who knows? Rounding out my time, Bears at the 10 spot spot defensive end. Mikael Williams also Georgia is a Chicago defense. I mean you look at Chicago in general. It was extremely underwhelming.
Starting point is 00:10:55 But when you look at what Chicago is doing right now their defense was definitely at the bottom of the barrel in terms of problems that they had it was not that big of a worry. Did they have a ton of hiccups? Yeah, sure, but they got talent. They still have talent. Montez Sweat on that D line, Grady Jarrett. So Tremaine Edmonds at middle lineback, Jalen Johnson was good.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Is a team that has a lot, is a defense that has a lot of promise and you're just gonna continue going up if you get a guy like Mikael Williams. Did I say his first name right? I probably asked that before as well too probably when we were talking about defense events. But yeah, that is what the top 10 is gonna be looking like for this NFL draft after this. Yeah, I mean, it's like this every year, how like, you know, the further along you go in the draft, just the more weird it gets.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Same can be said in this draft. Everyone's the same from like 10 to 50. So best of luck NFL. We're going to step aside real quick. We come back. We're going to have our friend Justin Tucker making picks 11 through 20. Don't go anywhere. This is the Fumble Rootski Podcast. It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back
Starting point is 00:12:21 to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome back to the Fun with Ruski podcast brought to you by Power 88, Dean Radio, and Secret Web Consulting. I am your host, Funnel Ruski's resident draft guy, CJ Medeiros. With me still is Chris Kostich and Justin Tucker. Speaking of which, Justin, it's your time to shine. Take us through picks 11 through 20 of our fourth annual Funnel Ruski mock draft. With pleasure. I'm so glad to be back. And with the 11th overall pick, the San
Starting point is 00:13:05 Francisco 49ers select Will Johnson's cornerback out of Michigan. At first, I didn't like this big when I heard about it, but the more I look at it, the more I'm starting to like it. Robert Salas coming back on defense and they look weak at the cornerback spot. Will Johnson will be looking to sure that spot up. He can play a man and he can play in zone. That means they can play around with the coverages that they are, they can play around with the coverages Robert Soller likes to throw at.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Anyway. Moving on to number 12, we're talking about Dim Boys, the Dallas Cowboys with the 12th overall pick. They select Matthew Golden, wide receiver out of Texas. They need someone next to CD Land just to show up that wide receiver spot next to him. I think they also need a running back. I wouldn't have been mad if they took Hampton here, but I like the fact that they're trying to give Dak Prescott more weapons because quite frankly, he's your 60 million dollar quarterback. You need to give him more weapons
Starting point is 00:14:09 don't know how he got that but if you're going if he's your franchise guy you need to give him more weapons on that side of the ball and With the 13th overall pick the Miami Dolphins will select Kelvin Banks jr. Offensive tackle out of Texas This is clear and simple. They need to protect tool with all their life Kelvin Banks Jr., offensive tackle out of Texas. This is clear and simple. They need to protect Tool with all their life. Tool just got paid this last off season, this last off season,
Starting point is 00:14:34 and he looks like he's gonna be the franchise quarterback knock on wood for years to come. That's why I'm happy that they're able to get a, hopefully a franchise left tackle that can block to protect tool for the rest of his years in Miami. He'll need it because if he gets one more injury like the ones he's been getting, it's over for him and the Miami Dolphins going forward. With the 14th overall pick, the Indianapolis Colts select Tyler Warren tight in out of Penn State They need to do something to help Anthony Richardson out. I'm not sure who's going to be the guy in Indianapolis But if it's going to be a thing Richardson, he needs a security blanket and I believe Tyler Warren will be that for him and also
Starting point is 00:15:21 He'll be a blocking threat as well. He's kind of the do it all tight end. You can put him on the field for first and second down and keep him on the third downs as well. I think this is a good pickup for Indianapolis because this is someone they absolutely need at this point in time for the development of Anthony Richardson. With the 15th overall pick, the Atlanta Falcons select,
Starting point is 00:15:44 Mike Green, edge from Marshall. This is kind of an interesting spot. I think if anything's going to gamble on a DM like Mike Green, it would be the Falcons. I think he's really good, but some people think because it's Marshall, not really one of these power five schools that we're all aware of that. He may just be hype I like him personally and I think the F15 overall the Falcons desperately need some pass rush coming off the edge and I think he does that for them in the long term With the 16th overall pick the Arizona Cardinals select Derek Harmon
Starting point is 00:16:24 defensive tackle, Orion the offense isn't as the Arizona Cardinals select Derek Harmon, defensive tackle, Oregon. The offense isn't as bad as I think. I think Haller Murray is solid on offense and he has the pieces to make things happen, especially with James Connor in the backfield. When I look at that defense, they need to be able to gain more pressure. They got Josh Sweatt and I think getting Derek Harmon
Starting point is 00:16:44 along with Josh Sweatt on that defense will get more pressure and get to the quarterback. I think they need to help out their secondary and I think that this pick will allow them to do that. With the 17th overall pick, the Bengals will select Jade' Baron, cornerback out of Texas. Where do I even begin with the Bengals? They need help everywhere on defense. They still haven't signed Trey Hendrickson, their best player on defense, and they need to be able to do everything else, which is protect the run and the pass.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And unfortunately, I don't think they'll be able to do that in the short term, so I believe having someone like Dede Beren can help with that, but they still need to have a lot more pieces than just him, but he's a good help for them in the long term. But right now it's looking pretty dire over in Cincinnati. With the 18th overall pick, the Seattle Seahawks select, Tyler Booker, offensive guard at Alabama. I am upset that he didn't drop all the way down to the ratings at 27. Not going to hold a grudge, not holding grudges, but he's a good offensive guard in this draft.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I believe he will do well in the offensive line in Seattle, especially with the Bookins they have at tackle. I believe Sandarno will need that to help continue on his career revival up in Seattle now after his monster season in Minneapolis. I think there are a few pieces away from being true contenders. I think they'll make the playoffs this year, and the addition of Tyler Booker will help convince me of that. I think this will help show up the protection in Seattle. Now, with the 19th overall pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Nick Amanmoury. Safety out of South Carolina, they just lost Whitehead, so they need another person to show up the secondary in the back end. They still have Jamal Dean, even though they don't have Carlton Davis anymore. But I believe that spot at safety will be phenomenal with Antoine
Starting point is 00:18:59 Wilfield Jr. and then Nick Imanwari, because I believe he's just a good, a great athlete out there. So I think he will do well in that secondary with the 20th overall pick, the Denver Broncos select to Troy McMillan, sorry for the name. Taroa, but yeah. Taroa McMillan, wide receiver out of Arizona. True big body type wide receiver that I think that the Denver Broncos will use. He's kind of had a major drop as of late because of not on the field stuff, more of like rumors
Starting point is 00:19:38 and things that he said. But I think he's going to be a quality receiver for them. And I think Bo Nix will be able to use him well, especially with a big target that he has. I think he will be reliable for them. I really wish I could have gave them something on the defensive side of the ball, because let's face it, they got abused on that side of the ball when it came up against the Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:20:00 But if I can't help them on defense, at least let me help them on offense. And I believe McMillahon will do that for them. With the 21st overall. Okay, Tuck, Tuck, you were only doing 11 to 20. I thought we were doing to 22. No, I misspoke. I misspoke.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Oh, I'm sorry. SMH, man. SMH. Come on. Yeah. SMH. SMH. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'm Chris and whatever. Yeah. Whatever you say. I don't know. Yeah. Adam, stop it. Stop it, Adam. I don't know what I'm talking about. Stop it, Adam. We know we're trying to get to the break. Come on. Anyway, though, despite Chris, we will be going to break here
Starting point is 00:20:34 where I will pick up the rest going from 21 to 32. Don't go anywhere. This is the Fun with Ruskie podcast. It may not have always showed it in the stat sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's gotta get that six or seven spot.
Starting point is 00:20:52 He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Fumbarovski Podcast, as you know, brought to you by Power 88 Dean Radio, and of course, Secret Weapon Consulting. I'm your host tonight. CJ Madero says, Chris calls me Fumarovski's
Starting point is 00:21:15 resident draft guy with me, of course, the aforementioned Chris Kostich, and who could forget Justin Tucker? He's back, you know, he's in school. He's being a good student. We love it. So, moving on with our fourth annual mock draft. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:21:36 So kicking us off, number 21, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Jackson Dart, quarterback quarterback Ole Miss. Pittsburgh's in a really weird spot. I mean, usually it's around the early 20s onward where teams start trading back. Or if some really good falls, you can see a few teams trade up,
Starting point is 00:21:57 but Pittsburgh is weird. I could see them going running back here. Omarion Hampton was also a thought, but at the end of the day Let's be real they need to be help and Whether or not you get Rogers heck Rogers is hinted that he might be open to retirement Then again, that's just Aaron Rogers is well Aaron Roger isms So I don't really know but long story short whether you get him or whether you don't You can not and I mean you absolutely cannot,
Starting point is 00:22:29 go into the off season with Mason Rudolph as QB1. Pittsburgh is gravitating more and more towards taking a quarterback between Dart and Jalen Milrow. I think Dart is a safer bet at 21. Moving on to pick 22, we got the LA Chargers taking Michigan tight end, Colston Loveland. Now let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Loveland is a Harbaugh guy. Michigan Connection Society, we did coach Loveland when he was in Michigan, where they won the national championship, I'm sure you remember but Harbaugh does not or Jim Harbaugh as it were does not value flash He values production he values grit, which is why he'd go tight end a lot of people myself included would say Well, I would take a receiver but the connection aside. I definitely think that
Starting point is 00:23:29 You know, like I said, he's a hardball guy a lot of it also stems from the fact that Harbaugh values tight ends when he was last in the NFL, you know He had Vernon Davis as the security blanket and he's happy to have a really good really productive Tight end and just an okay wide receiver like, you know with Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree back in the day when he was in San Fram So moving on to pick 23 the Green Bay Packers select Walter Nolan the defensive tackle from Ole Miss Walter Nolan the defensive tackle from Ole Miss
Starting point is 00:24:08 This is weird for Green Bay because some people think they should go receiver But they already have three wide receiver twos essentially with Reed dubs and Watson the rooms already too crowded I was thinking about DB, but they didn't get rid of Jair Alexander Although I thought they were they were gonna trade him, but I guess they're just not. I have no idea how or why they do what they do, but whatever. And so, yeah, that would leave defensive tackle as their running game was really bad. Devante Wyatt, former first round pick back, and I believe 2022 has been extremely underwhelming. But Walter Nolan can dominate both phases of defense pass defense and run defense So I so look it's not a sexy pick. It's not the flash that you want
Starting point is 00:24:53 But subs a little bit of substance goes a long way Moving on to 24 we're staying in the NFC North and The Minnesota Vikings are on the clock and they're going to select safety out of Georgia Malachi Starks. So Starks' stock has been dropping, not entirely sure why, but the Vikings are gonna reap the benefits from it. Let's address the elephant in the room. Vikings, you have a need at safety. Harrison Smith is not getting any younger. I think he like, he's back on like a one year deal. This is probably gonna be his last year.
Starting point is 00:25:29 And he drafted the safety Lewis Seen out of Georgia a bit ago or Seenay or whatever his name is. He's not on the team anymore. He, there was a massive swing and a miss. You gotta get back on the horse. You gotta draft Malachi Starks, who I think would fit right in. He can learn from Harrison Smith from a year and then proceed to just be a monster for that Brian Flores defense. Next we are moving on to pick 25 where the Houston Texans will take Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons
Starting point is 00:26:08 So Josh Simmons one of the most intriguing prospects in this entire draft because many people myself included believe He's probably one of the better if not the best Left tackle prospects in the draft, but the only thing that's holding him down is that brutal, I think it's a patellar tear in his knee that he suffered in October 2023. He's looking good and apparently his rehab is behind schedule, but still that's going to knock him from what could have been a top 10 pick all the way down to pick 25. So Titus Howard has been really underwhelming for Houston. They also signed Cam Robinson who's been very
Starting point is 00:26:52 he's older, he was he's fine, he did tend to draw quite a few flags, but as a whole Josh Simmons is a guy that if he's not ready you can stash it behind Cam Robinson for a year who's on a very short deal and if he's not ready, you can stash it behind Cam Robinson for a year, who's on a very short deal. And if he is ready, then you can start him day one. And let me be real, CJ Stroud needs all the help he can get behind that offensive line. Next, moving on to the 26th pick,
Starting point is 00:27:19 the Los Angeles Rams select Geod Campbell, linebacker, Alabama. So I think it's interesting GM of the Rams less need went you could have gone DB, but I'm not crazy about it here. There's some that spoiler alert, we'll go later in this draft. But as a whole, I do think that linebacker, release off-ball linebackers, their biggest need.
Starting point is 00:28:00 And that's what Campbell is because the defensive line is secure. You've got some pieces Although you could add more in the defensive backfield But you have nothing an offball linebacker the Covards bear meet G. Ogg Campbell fast strong hits hard Then moving on to our good friend Justin Tucker's favorite team the Baltimore Ravens at pick 27 are taking defensive end The Baltimore Ravens at pick 27 are taking defensive end Shamar Stewart from Texas A&M. He's another prospect that's just in a word, weird.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Because you're banking on his physical tools, bailing him out the next league. Or I mean in the next level in the NFL, the professional league isn't work and He the production was kind of spotty at Texas A&M, but he's got the bill that you want I believe he's like six five to sixty. He's got a good first step. He's really powerful, but he's incredibly raw a For me would probably be Remember back when Trayvon Walker wasn't projected to go first overall in a stock blew up
Starting point is 00:29:08 That's kind of how I view Shamar Stewart like diet Trayvon Walker is a prospect Moving on to pick 28 the Detroit Lions select Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant He is a Campbell guy. Dan Campbell's a very physical punch-you-in-the-mouth, bite-your-knee-caps kind of coach, and he doesn't have to go too far to find all Kenneth Grant, who like I said is from Michigan, you know, same state as the Lions right now, the more you know. But but as a whole, I do think that the defense needs some more depth and it's not because they're bad. It's just because last season we saw their entire defense get decimated by injuries. I think they're only
Starting point is 00:29:58 down to like four of their original starters, four or five at the end of the year. just the injury bug bit them hard and It's not their fault like no team you know expects to have like half their defense go down But you need depth and Kenneth Grant is going to be Great, especially if you can't wrangle Levi on Zurich a next year So moving on to pick 29, runner up in the NFC,
Starting point is 00:30:29 the Washington commanders will select running back Omarion Hampton from University of North Carolina. So many have said that the commanders are indicating that they want a three down back, somebody fast, versatile, great burst, great agility. Well, here's the thing. Ashton Gentry, far and away, best running back in his class.
Starting point is 00:30:57 But he overshadows Omari and Hampton, and frankly, I don't think that's right. Hampton is a damn good prospect and if he falls to 29 I fully expect the commanders to Rejuvenate their ground game with him moving on number 30 the AFC runner-up The Buffalo Bills select cornerback Siobhan rev revel from East Carolina Siobhan Revelle from East Carolina. Now this dude has great ball skills. He can stop and go on a dime. He's twitchy. He's a ball hawk. He's a great corner. So I know what you're thinking. Oh, but CJ, you say to me, why is he going at 30 if he's
Starting point is 00:31:40 all those things? Well, injuries because I believe last season he tore his ACL, and those are nasty to come back from, especially at a skilled position. So even more, because look, let's be real, the drafts a crapshoot, but even more so than usual, you're rolling the dice here. But he does fit Sean McDermott's scheme, and he can slot in with uh Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford right away. Moving on to the Super Bowl runner-up, the Kansas City Chiefs. They you know they still want that 3p although they're gonna have to wait at minimum three more years. Don't think it's gonna happen but they will be taking James Pierce Jr. defensive end Tennessee. He is your prototypical speed rusher.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Not the strongest, not the most powerful, but he wields lethal spin moves. He utilizes lethal swim maneuvers. He is a speed rusher. He's the guy where the first step off the line is just meant for the offensive tackle he's going up against to be too slow to react to. He's just, his plan is, well, I'm going to outrun the offensive line. And honestly, I think defensive coordinator Steve Spagnolo could have some real fun with him. And now, finally, a 32nd
Starting point is 00:33:09 overall pick, last pick in the first round held by the rainings. I was doing uh drum roll. Thanks. It was and and ended up being pretty loud actually. I didn't it's round out CJ. Anyway, this draft will release the first
Starting point is 00:33:31 round of the draft will end with Donovan Zerouaku, a defensive end, Boston College. He's a little undersized in Boston College while still D1 and still power five isn't necessarily a premier football school but and even though I've been harsh towards him, especially like his game and some of his power, but as your Waku going to Philly.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Oh, now that's terrifying. Vic Fangio is going to have a field day with him. And though like I said, I'm not the most high on him. Billy's going to be a team that knows exactly how to use him and Philly's gonna need to replenish that defensive front after losing Josh Sweatt to the Cardinals, Milton Williams to the Patriots, and Brandon Graham to retirement. And there you have it boys and girls that is our official mock draft. Fourth annual mock draft.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Here are the results that you can see on the board from Cam Ward at number one to Donovan Aziruaku at pick 32. Take a second, soak it in. Soak it in, it's really good. That is, you know, that's our best guess here. And as much as I'd say the draft is a crapshoe, let's be real, predicting it is also a crapshoe.
