The Counter: Analyzing the first round of the NFL Draft and looking ahead

The Counter, our new podcast covering the NFL, is back with a second episode. We jumped into our virtual recording studio after the first round of the NFL Draft concluded in the early minutes of Friday to try to make sense of the most unique night in draft history.

We did not figure out what was going on at Mike Vrabel’s house, nor get any sort of understanding of how a man as large as Tristan Wirfs could jump *out* of the pool like it’s nothing.

Among the topics we discussed:

  • Drawbacks (so much Roger Goodell) and things we loved (players at home, without all the pomp and circumstance) about the format.
  • Our biggest surprise of the first round.
  • Winners and losers
  • Steven graded every pick; we talked about at his 5 As and 3 Fs
  • Who’s left? A look at the top talent remaining going into Day 2
