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.
