Craig opens the show with Washington Post reporter Sam Fortier, who joins to break down his latest feature exploring America’s obsession with NFL mock drafts. Sam describes the story as one rooted in hope and identity, seen through the lens of three key figures — the forgotten godfather of the mock draft, today’s cutting-edge analyst, and the unheralded mock draft king. Plus, Sam shares his prediction for the Commanders’ pick at No. 29… and he’s going with Ohio State wideout Emeka Egbuka.
