Up next in the positional breakdown is at RB, where the focus on Day 1 will be on Bijan Robinson, who has a chance to be the first back taken in the top 10 since 2018.  But there's also a lot of depth on the second and third days of the draft as well, with Jahmyr Gibbs, Zach Charbonnet, Devon Achane, Tyjae Spears, Kenny McIntosh, Tank Bigsby and Zach Evans may all hear their names called before the end of the 3rd Round.

I begin the positional breakdown with th QB position.  CJ Stroud and Bryce Young are expected to come off the board with the first two picks in the draft and rightfully so, but what can we expect from Will Levis and Anthony Richardson?  Will Hendon Hooker be the only other QB taken in the first two days of the draft?  How many total will hear their name called during the draft?

 Episode 23 is the post-Combine edition of the Ready for the Draft Podcast as I talk about who really left an impression during the workout portion of the Combine in Indianapolis.  DJ Turner II posted the top 40 time, while Quan Martin raised eyebrows with his vertical leap and you can't forget about the show Anthony Richardson put on!  

I also take a peek at the top half of Round One following an active and entertaining free agency period.

It's time for my first Mock Draft!  I've released my seven-round mock draft on readyforthedraft.com, but in thsi podcast, we'll take a look at the 1st Round.  What will the Bears do at No. 1?  Will they trade?  Do they stay put?  Who trades up to get a QB and which one will be drafted first?  Will Anderson and Jalen Carter are the top defensive players, but is there a chance either falls out of the top 5?  Not a chance!  I'll start talking through some of the potential scenarios teams will be facing this offseason and how the decisions will impact their focus at the top of the draft.
