Welcome into first draft just five weeks away from the

2024 NFL draft. Tees Mel Kuiper Jr. I am in Field Gates. I am think

doing the show from the third different state since we started this

season of first draft mail that's got to be some sort of record here for this old

podcast and I have not so you'd have to have one would beat me

That's a good point. You know where I am all the time right at the compound so you guys are all over the country with your pro days and you're doing this and you're skiing and you're doing all that stuff so having fun I'm just here

trying to figure it all out yeah this is the life with two children that I must lead

right now to young children at that but we've got important draft business to take

care of here today Mel as just a couple of days ago,

Tuesday to be specific, Mock 3.0 drop. This one was a banger as always. Just one round,

mail will get to two rounds and trades and all that later dates we're going to go right through it mail and dive into it and I think what we're going to do is kind of how we've done it in the past which is sort of taking five-ish picks at a time and kind of finding what is interesting, what was difficult for you.

But before we get into the specific picks, were there any challenges that were different this time

as opposed to the first couple of times you did this year's mock draft.

Yeah, the free agency really clouds everything because you try to anticipate what you're

hearing but you don't know what's going to happen with what has happened

field and what could happen and how needs have changed or needs were created

and then you get into the jets and then you hear the giants.

They take a quarterback, do they take the receiver.

Whether the jets do they go receiver now that they have Mike Williams or do they do offense to

not even though they've gone out and tried to really subdivide that group with some trade,

the trade up for Morgan Moses, and the signing.

So those things complicated field.
