Hey, welcome in to another edition of First Draft, and we are just 21 days away from when this

podcast hits your

and when this video hits YouTube from the 2024 NFL draft. Field the ace and of course, Mel Kiper Jr.

here and Mel, I woke up a little battered and bruised this morning

and dropped my first ever two-round mock draft.

I put it on the internet once and then I largely stayed away from the internet, but without

being able to show enough discipline, I eventually went back and checked the comments and man oh man

Mel the people are fired up about the mock this morning. They care a field that's what I say but

you said the one word largely stayed away which means you didn't completely stay away.

Well you said largely I knew you were in trouble.

You got to completely stay away or just you either go all in or you're all out.

So if you're in don't just go a little way and go all in.

Because then you hear some good, the bad, you have fun with it, and it means that people actually

respect your opinion. So if you get nothing, it means they don't care.

If you get a lot means they care. The Philon gates is making a huge impact in the community of the NFL draft because you're getting all these crazy responses. So you love it. Field, embrace it and realize, hey, that's what is going to make you great,

pal.

I need to be like a wrestling heel right now.

The guy that says, give me all the hate that actually makes me feel my fire. That is what I'm going to be here both this week after the two-round

mock dropped and then also in future subsequent mocks which I have just one more coming your next

mock draft drops next week but here's we're going to do on today's show here on first draft

we're going to talk about both rounds of this mock but the vast majority of our conversation

mail will be on round two because we talked about round one a lot.
