The Athletic Football Show's live coverage of the first round of the NFL Draft continues, as Robert Mays, Nate Tice and Dane Brugler dig into picks 11 through 20. The Lions surprise everyone with a running back and linebacker, the Patriots nab what might be the steal of the first round, and the Seahawks round it out with the first receiver of the night, who just might be the perfect fit for their offense.

It may not have seemed so at the time, but the power of hindsight lets us see that the Chiefs had one of the best drafts last year. Would they have won the Super Bowl without the contributions of players like Jaylen Watson, Isiah Pacheco and George Karlaftis? Maybe, but those guys sure made it easier. How might teams like the Bengals and Bills pull a 2022 Chiefs in this year's draft? Robert Mays and Nate Tice explore on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.

Don't take it from the person who writes these descriptions, take it from The Athletic's NFL Draft expert Dane Brugler himself...this is as deep a tight end class as we've seen in the time that Dane's been writing The Beast. He and Nate Tice join Robert Mays to dive into the top-six players in the class on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. Then, Jack Doyle discusses with Robert why tight ends typically take longer than players at other positions to find their footing in the NFL.
