Hey Kris. I called you out the last couple years for talking over your guests and not letting the interview breathe, but you're a million percent better this year. You've really improved a ton in general, but specifically, you're listening and reacting organically instead of feeling like you have to blurt out everything you've scripted. You're a real pro now. You had your stuff prepared but if Sam took things in an interesting direction, you went with it. It makes such a huge difference. Great job working on your craft.

Isaiah Crawford!!! Was waiting for you guys to mention him. Glad to hear the intel

[@yaboybenz]

I think IHart also challenged the way Thibs theoretically wants to play also. I think both adjusted. If we lose him I'd rather replace him @ 38 (PJ Hall) or udfa (Quinten Post).

I can defintely see them hoping that Kolek falls to the early 2nd round and trading (up or down) to get him in the 30-35 range. Sam has got me interested in Edey too now if we do take someone in the 20’s… we definitely need to upgrade Sims. Let’s see what Leon cooks up

Deuce was the QB for Ohio powerhouse Moeller HS

[@Andrew-mp7tp]

Great series Kris. You're an awesome podcaster.

[@krispursiainen]

This means so much. Thank you!

[@duncanbrwn]

Id like to see Shannon drop to that 2nd round. Maybe the league is scared about his case coming up

[@adampetruccione8718]

In this draft they might make all three picks just because there are no takers to trade out

Kris, please stop referring to young men in your age group as kids. Lol
