Episode notes

Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald wrap up their pre-draft positional preview series with a deep dive on the loaded tight end class as well as a quick look at the top offensive line prospects in this year's draft.

But to begin the show, McDonald breaks down the 2023 "All-Juice" team and how he and Charles Robinson crafted the squad in honor of Terez Paylor. And as a friendly reminder, to help keep his memory alive you can purchase All-Juice Team merch at Breaking T, with proceeds going to Howard University and the University of Missouri.

Before diving into this year's class, Harmon and McDonald look back at the last decade of tight ends that were taken in the first round and if there are any lessons to be learned from that and debate if we could see as many as three tight ends go on day one this year.

To end the show, McDonald reveals his favorite offensive line man in this year's class and why one prospect stands, and maybe tweets, above the rest.
