Welcome to Football: A Podcast.

Sunday Surprise! Bonus Episode!

This episode contains our official predictions for the NFL Draft's first round on Thursday. 

We've spent seven hours in Episodes 3-5 contemplating what WE would do as the General Manager of each team, but in this episode we project who THEY will actually select.

Things get interesting when we project that Atlanta fails to find a trade partner at No. 4 and decides to take the best available player. 

We want everything to be on-the-record when we beat Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and the "other guys" at NFL Network. 

No time stamps today as the entire episode is dedicated to pick predictions.

This is our best episode yet.

We cackle like hyenas as we give our unique pre-draft superlatives and make up our own prop bets for next Thursday's showcase. Bill has also officially started the Tommy Tremble fan club and all three of us bludgeon Ryan Pace and the Bears throughout the episode. 

We also discuss the week's news in football and what we've learned from our pre-draft evaluation process. 

Time Stamps:

1 minute -- 16 minutes: Justin Fields' seizures, Alex Smith's retirement, and more.

17 minutes -- 1 hour, 7 minutes: Tommy Tremble's fan club, what we've learned from our pre-draft evaluations, would Jacksonville consider any deal for the number one selection. 

1 hour, 8 minutes -- 2 hours, 43 minutes: The really funny stuff. NFL Draft prop bets, unique pre-draft superlatives, answering open-ended draft-related questions.

We complete our mock draft! Matt tanks his No. 23 Jets pick so Pittsburgh can grab his favorite running back while we attack Bill for giving Najee Harris to the Steelers. 

We discuss Jimmy Clausen's face, whether you can trust Zachs that spell their name with an "H," Troy Polamalu's place among the game's greatest athletes, and Bill walks back his takes on Heath Miller -- somewhat. 

Time Markers: 

0-18 minutes: Zach Wilson, Troy Polamalu, Health Miller.

18 minutes -- 2 hours, 9 minutes: We make our mock draft picks. Important note: This is what WE would do as the GM of each individual team, not necessarily what we think is going to happen.

2 hours, 9 minutes -- 2 hours, 43 minutes: We each give one player our "Mel Kiper Guarantee" and openly discuss if the Raiders know what they're doing. 

Listen to how the draft would play out if we were the GM of each team in the Top 10. We provide in-depth analysis -- just look at the length of this episode -- and welcome a friend to the show to help us navigate this year's top prospects. 

This is the first in a three-part mock draft series.
