2. Where do you watch? - Home usually, sometimes Bdubs.

3. ESPN, NFLN or other? - Unfortunately I don't have NFLN anymore, so ESPN it is.

4. Least favorite Draft Analyst? Kiper.

5. Do you like to see who the pick is on twitter or another source before its announced? If so, is it just the Bengals picks or all picks? - I like to see other teams picks after the first round. Never the Bengals picks and I don't leak them.

6. What do you use for your big board? Website or custom BB? - I create my own BB and scratch names off as they're selected. Usually an excel sheet.

7. Excitement level for April 29th, 2021 at 8pm EST? 1-10. - 25. It's comparable to a game for me.

I figured this would be a good change of pace from the civil war talk.

1. Favorite Food? - Back when I lived in Ohio, I would always pick up Skyline cheese coneys on draft day. Now, I typically make my own or will get wings from a local wing shop here in town.

2. Where do you watch? - Home. I did go to the draft on Day 3 in 2019 when it was in Nashville. It was amazing.

3. ESPN, NFLN or other? - NFL Network always.

4. Least favorite Draft Analyst? Anyone from ESPN, dunno why. Maybe it's because I've always seen ESPN as mainstream. My favorite analysts have been those on NFL.com. Mayock when he was there, and now Daniel Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein.

5. Do you like to see who the pick is on twitter or another source before its announced? If so, is it just the Bengals picks or all picks? - I try to avoid looking at Twitter for at least a few picks before the Bengals' selections in Rds 1 and 2.

6. What do you use for your big board? Website or custom BB? - I don't really "create" my own, but I usually look for consistencies between 3-4 sites to estimate where I think people will go. Nowadays, it's a combo between NFL.com prospects list, TheDraftNetwork, ProFootballNetwork, and PFF. I used to reference CBS Sports, but it's gone downhill since Brugler and Rang left. I make my mocks by hand, I don't do simulations because I think the simulations are less realistic.

7. Excitement level for April 29th, 2021 at 8pm EST? 1-10. - Between 8 and 9. The only reason it's not a 10 is because I'm tired of the Chase vs Sewell debate.
