00:00But we do have other rounds to look ahead to.
00:02There are more picks to be made for the New England Patriots.
00:05They have three picks tonight.
00:07So their first pick is six picks into the second round, 38 overall.
00:12They need to come away with either one of the pass rushers still on the board
00:18in Mike Green or Donovan Azaraku,
00:21or they need to come away with a talented skill player at receiver.
00:26A guy like Luther Burden is there.
00:29Travion Henderson is still available.
00:31Jalen Noel out of Iowa State.
00:33Those are the guys that all have my eye.
00:35I think they would be excellent additions,
00:37and we can kind of get back on the right foot here if you add one of those guys.
00:41Mike Green and Donovan Azaraku,
00:43I never would have expected to be available at this point.
00:46And so having the opportunity to get a pass rusher like that,
00:49that to me is a first-round talent, would be a big win.
00:53Wiggy seemed to indicate some interest early this morning in Luther Burden.
00:57Yeah, I'm in.
00:57Yeah, I've seen him play.
00:59He's a good player.
01:00I just feel like he didn't have even as much success as the kid Jalen Polk did
01:09when Jalen Polk was at Washington.
01:11So when you kind of compare, like, all right, what could he be?
01:13And he's a little bit more of a smaller, and I could see him being more of a slot guy.
01:18He plays a lot like Steph Diggs, actually.
01:20Yeah.
01:20So maybe it's too redundant for them to get Luther Burden,
01:25but I think he's a really good player.
01:26And he was much better in 2023 than he was in 2024.
01:30The offense in Missouri went through a bunch of changes.
01:32Quarterback wasn't very good.
01:33So he struggled a lot last year, but the year before, he was excellent.
01:37And I think that's the Luther Burden you would hope to get in the NFL.
01:40How did the final mock shakeout?
01:42We did okay.
01:43The big thing for me is that I got the trade.
01:46Probably not great because we haven't mentioned it to this point.
01:48No.
01:49I mean, overall, considering, like, compared to everybody else,
01:51I think everybody else was probably right around the average accuracy.
01:57What was the number of accurate?
01:59Probably the top five.
02:00No, I had the top five.
02:01I had Gray Zabel going to the Seahawks.
02:03I had the Giants trading back into the first round to take Jackson Dart.
02:07So I know all those were dead on accurate.
02:09And then I think I only missed four of the guys that went in the first round.
02:13So I had 28 of the 32 players in the first round.
