Draft Dudes - Episode 181 (04/09/2018): "He's a lock for the first round!" It's heard quite often these days, but here's the problem. If you add up all the first round locks for the 2018 NFL Draft, you get about 40 names, with just 32 picks to go around. Today on Draft Dudes, Kyle and Joe attempt to logically work through the potential first round prospects and declare their consensus top-32 "locks" for this month's first round. Things get hairy when Kyle and Joe finish working through the position groups with more than 32 names and have to debate cuts in order to make their magic number of 32. *** The Draft Dudes are all about the draft, and they’re here to provide insight behind their year-round preparations with NDT Scouting to ensure that they stay informed and up to date with prospect-related trends.
