On this week’s episode, Jon did a super early mock draft because that’s what he does. Then Samuel asked he and Mike a bunch of questions about it, because that’s what he does. This is a great episode that goes into some base concepts about drafting, while breaking down some common ideas such as position flex and ceiling versus floor when it comes to being a deciding factor on picks.
