The guys kick things off with news and notes (3:06), including the signing of Najee Harris and what it means for the Giants backfield. They then evaluate quarterback and tight end value (10:16), dive into the Round 5 running backs (13:41), and explain how your early-round approach can impact those later decisions. Finally, they break down the best strategies for picks 1-3 (22:30), 4-6 (43:10), and 7-9 (1:00:12), showing how your draft position impacts not just your first pick, but your overall roster construction throughout the draft.
