It's time to take a look at the OL by the numbers for the NFL Draft.  There's a chance that we'll see six or seven OTs drafted in the 1st Round, but is Joe Alt a lock to be the top OT taken?  JC Latham and Taliese Fuaga are the top RT prospects while Troy Fautanu and Graham Barton look to have five-position versatility.  While the depth of the OT position appears to be top heavy, keep an eye on the OG position in the middle rounds.

Episode 21 is devoted to recapping the offensive performances at the Combine.  With Caleb Williams, Jaylen Daniels and Drake Maye not throwing, that allowed JJ McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix to showcase their skills.  At RB, did Trey Benson emerge as the top RB?  Where did Blake Corum rank?  Is Marshawn Lloyd the best receiving RB?  Xavier Worthy ran the fastest 40 time ever at the Combine, but he wasn't the only WR to impress. Rome Odunze made his case as a top-10 pick with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers not working out.  Would you believe the most impressive TE may have been Tip Reiman?  And who was the most impressive OL to work out between Joe Alt, Olu Fashanu, Taliese Fuaga and Troy Fautanu?

In episode 20, I review the defesive performances at the Combine and breakdown who excelled, who struggled and who the surprises were.  On Day 1 of the Combine, we saw the DL and LBs work out.  Edge rushers Dallas Turner, Jared Verse and Laiatu Latu solidified their status at the top of their position group while Byron Murphy II set himself apart as the top DT, while Edgerrin Cooper and Payton Wilson proved they are the top LBs in this year's draft.  Day 2 showcased the DBs and TEs.  Quinyon Mitchell continues to turn heads.  Is he now CB1?  And at TE, with Brock Bowers not working out, who stepped up?

 We covered the defense in the last podcast, so now it's time to focus on the back half of the Combine with the offense.  Even though top stars Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers won't be working out, there will be plenty of star power with the likes of Rome Odunze, Joe Alt and Olu Fashanu taking the field.  JJ McCarthy, Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. make up the second tier of QBs and they are all working out.  Who will separate himself from the pack?  Which WRs and OTs will turn heads?  And which RB will showcase the most all-around skillset?  Stay tuned!
