·36 min·3 clips

Rhett Lewis, the 'Mocky Balboa' of NFL Network, joins to reveal his mock draft two weeks before the real event.

The episode begins with Chuck and Buck introducing their Thursday guest, Rhett Lewis from NFL Network, who hosts 'Path to the Draft.' They joke about mock drafts and his nicknames like 'Mocky Balboa.' Rhett discusses his mock draft, starting with Fernando Mendoza being a lock for the Las Vegas Raiders with the first pick. He explains his surprise pick of Ty Simpson to the Philadelphia Eagles at 23, suggesting it could be a trade spot. For the Seattle Seahawks at 32, he mocks Texas A&M edge rusher Cassius Howell, citing his production despite shorter arms. Rhett talks about Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love potentially going as high as number three to the Arizona Cardinals. He shares that the hot rumor on his show is edge rusher David Bailey possibly surpassing Arbel Reese for the number two pick by the New York Jets. Rhett names Indiana linebacker Aiden Fisher as his favorite player in the draft, praising his instincts and leadership. The hosts then transition to the Masters golf tournament, noting Patrick Reed's lead and discussing Bryson DeChambeau's 3D-printed club. They analyze the Seattle Mariners' 4-9 start, with Chuck arguing against panic by pointing to the simultaneous slumps of key hitters like Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez, and Josh Naylor. He emphasizes that the season is early and predicts a turnaround, though he acknowledges concerns about defense and left-handed pitching. In the final segment, Ashley criticizes the mocking of women's appearances in sports media, referencing the Diana Rossini-Mike Vrabel story. Chuck comments on baseball reporters' obsession with credit for scoops, and Bucky shares a nostalgic memory of Davey Lopes from 'Johnny Bench's Baseball Bunch.' The show ends with Chuck announcing he'll be off the next day for a medical appointment.
