Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Ethan and Baileigh. I was going to say Baileigh and Ethan, but we\u2019ve been on a roll, and we\u2019ve been going with Ethan and Baileigh, so got to keep that way. Guys, we\u2019re back. We\u2019ll have NFL Draft on Thursday and should be a good night or three nights for the Gators.<br />\nBaileigh:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah. There\u2019s a few that we\u2019re not really sure exactly where they\u2019re going to go, but I think it\u2019s going to be a really good night. Some are speculating that Florida could even tie or possibly break its current school record for players drafted in a single Draft. I guess we\u2019ll see what happens there.<br />\nEthan:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When you list guys, I think there\u2019s probably eight guys you could feel very confident about getting drafted, and another two or three that are on the fence. What is the record? 11?<br />\nBaileigh:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No. I think it\u2019s only nine.<br />\nAndrew:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah. I think it\u2019s nine.<br />\nEthan:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I think they definitely tie that then.<br />\nAndrew:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do I think three will be drafted in the first round? No. I don\u2019t. But I also think that there\u2019s an opportunity for three. I think Pitts obviously is probably going to go in the four spot. Who that will be to, we\u2019ll see. Right now it\u2019s the Falcons. I\u2019m cool with it, if Justin Fields isn\u2019t there. We\u2019ll talk about that later, as a Falcons fan. Kadarius is at 15-25 range right there, another guy kind of depending. Then Kyle Trask is an up in the air guy.<br />\nMy thing for Trask is this. I don\u2019t know that he has got the first round grades, and I don\u2019t know that he is a for sure first rounder as far as talent or whatever goes, whatever the Draft people put on the boards, but I think it becomes a situation where when you look at this it could come down to, let\u2019s just say the first four picks all go quarterbacks, and it goes Lance and Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, and Trevor Lawrence, all four of those guys are gone in the first four picks. I think you could see some team trade up. Mac Jones will be fifth coming off the board, probably. Then you\u2019ll have Kyle as the sixth guy. I could see a team get very anxious and eager later in the first round and maybe try to trade up into the late first round and pick Trask.<br />\nEthan:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I could definitely see that happening. Trask is maybe one of the weirder prospects I can remember in recent years from the Gators, because I\u2019ve seen projections that have him in the first round all the way to like the fourth. There\u2019s just a huge range in opinion on him. I think he\u2019s a first round talent. I don\u2019t think a lot of people have him evaluated as a first rounder, which is going to make him fall, because why would you draft somebody higher than what you have to, when you can fill other needs in the meantime? I think it\u2019ll just come down to which team is willing to pull the trigger first, whether that\u2019s first round. I don\u2019t think he makes it past the second. I think that\u2019s about the floor for him.<br />\nAndrew:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I think the thing here, Ethan, and we see this every year, guys that should not be taken in the first round are taken up because teams get nervous that they\u2019re not going to be able to check off a need. I said this. I was doing another podcast last week. When you look at the quarterback class, the top six quarterbacks in this Draft are really good. After that, it\u2019s not very good.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/7561495e-09f1-41a7-bee9-a08f57f469b3/gclogo-podcast.jpg"}
