The NFL Draft is just two weeks away, and that means teams across the league are hammering down their plans and finalizing their boards for the big three-day event. But how do general managers and their staffs figure out which prospects will actually make it in the tough world of the NFL?

The Chicago Sun-Times’ Rick Morrissey and Rick Telander dig into the draft evaluation process and how football teams break down prospects to the smallest details in the latest episode of “The Two Ricks: Unfiltered.”

“It’s like a meat market,” Morrissey said. “Can you imagine, what if some guy came out there in a speedo or a thong? … How much do you think a guy would drop?”

Morrissey and Telander also talk with Charlie Wonderlic, the president of Wonderlic, Inc., which administers the famous test given to top NFL prospects each year. How does the Wonderlic work? And what do the results really mean? The hosts break it down with Wonderlic, whose grandfather created the original test over 80 years ago.

Check out all of that and more in Episode 7 of “The Two Ricks: Unfiltered,” brought to you by Sun-Times Media Productions.
