Some were surprised when Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt went to the LA Chargers with the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL Draft. We discuss the pick and much more on today's show, including:

* We interpret interesting comments from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day when he was asked about Jim Harbaugh.

* Six quarterbacks were selected within the first 12 picks of the draft last night. Notre Dame has had two quarterbacks go in the first round in the last 31 years. How many quarterbacks will Notre Dame see drafted in the first round in the next five years?

* Nick Saban was part of ABC’s NFL Draft coverage last night. The former Alabama coach said this about Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell after Mitchell was drafted: “He was our No. 1 guy in the portal last year to try to get him to come out of the portal and he would never get in the portal.” - Fair or Foul?

* The biggest shocker of the night was the Atlanta Falcons drafting Washington quarterback Michael Penix at No. 8 overall after signing Kirk Cousins to a 4-year, $180 million dollar deal last month. Do you see any upside to the move? 

* The Vikings traded up to No. 10 to draft former Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy. Do you Buy or Sell the move?

* Fill-in the blank...The Buffalo Bills trading down four spots with the Chiefs and letting the Chiefs draft Texas receiver Xavier Worthy was BLANK.

* Bill Belichick was part of Pat McAfee’s draft coverage last night. They announced at the end of the show that Belichick is going to do a weekly segment with McAfee on Mondays during the regular season. Belichick is going to have a recurring role in Peyton Manning and Eli Manning’s Monday Night Football Manningcast this season. Which of those are you more looking forward to?

* Max Scherzer said this about umpires this week: "We need to rank the umpires. Let the electronic strike zone rank the umpires. We need to have a conversation about the bottom — let's call it 10% — whatever you want to declare the bottom is and talk about relegating those umpires to the minor leagues." Do you Buy or Sell it?
