• Don’t trade up (unless it’s a quarterback)(10:48)
• Wait to draft your wide receiver (18:01)
• Don't overuse the “generational prospect” label (23:14)
• Scout the player, not the helmet (28:01)
• Avoid the late breakout/older prospect (30:28)
• Beware the workout warrior (34:52)
• The 40-yard dash time is the best metric (41:13)
• There are no good linebacker prospects (44:55)
• Post-processing QB prospects (50:59)
