Great stuff, wish we had more picks in the early rounds of this draft to hear your takes on
Movie wise, it's not a deep cut but if you haven't seen The Big Lebowski please go watch it right now. Some other stuff ummm Snatch, Kung Fu Hustle, Shrek
Rise Against is fantastic.... Huge part of my teenage years. Lebowski is great, as are Snatch and Shrek.... Kung Fu Hustle, I'll have to look into. Thanks for listening! I hope to be doing some Chicago content in the near future, so don't worry!

About the Dallas/Austin connection if you didn't know - the other Dallas GM, Kyle, plays for Austin too.
On the Philly trade up to pick me: I'm told by other GMs that they also tried to move up to 4 to take me - there was a bidding war for the pick - and that Arizona traded down hoping I'd be there at 6. 'Rolling the dice' wasn't an option for Philly if they wanted me (and I'm glad they did because the feeling was mutual).
On the feeler/Heath Evans pick: Dude is 8th in the class for TPE, and they needed a TE because their TE was a regressing, inactive player (who they've since traded for a 3rd round pick). The reason another TE didn't go until Round 5 was because Phillips and Evans were so far ahead of the rest of the TE class. Evans was a great pick IMO.
Agree on Troen being a huge steal.
oh and Rise Against are sick.
Looooooove Rise Against. Saw them live once, absolutely incredible show (or at least what I remember of it.)
I did know Kyle was in Austin,just failed to remember it in the moment.

Philly clearly got their guy in you, and at the end of the day that's really all that matters. TBH, regardless if it's you or the Stanislaw pick I critiqued as well, any of you in the top 10 or so were pretty interchangeable and I was nitpicking at that point. I've seen you on the site a fair bit and am excited to see what new heights you bring Philly to. Nothing but love!
Heath Evans makes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more sense now that they've processed that trade. Obviously I had no idea that was in the works, but with it done I agree its a great pick. He's going to do big things there.
Troen about to make some teams regret not picking him. That's all I'll say. Think that guy is going to be an absolute UNIT.
