Derek Oakley and Chops dive into a no-prep NFL draft mock with unpredictable takes and player picks.

The episode opens with host Derek Oakley introducing the show's theme and guest Chops for an impromptu NFL draft discussion. They briefly celebrate the University of Michigan basketball team's national championship win before shifting focus to the Lions' draft strategy. Oakley presents his seven-round mock draft, starting with Alabama tackle Caden Proctor at pick 17, justifying it with Proctor's stats and rumors of Lions' interest. In the second round, he selects edge rusher Malachi Lawrence from UCF, emphasizing pass-rush needs. The third round is skipped due to a prior trade for Isaac Tesla. In the fourth round, Oakley picks cornerback Jaylen Kilgore for secondary depth and tight end Marlon Klein from Michigan for tight end versatility. The fifth round features edge Max Llewellyn from Iowa and center Pat Coogan from Indiana, with Coogan highlighted as a potential steal. Round six includes safety Lorenzo Styles Jr. from Ohio State and wide receiver Tyron Montgomery from John Carroll, noted for his impressive college stats. The seventh round concludes with quarterback Talon Green from Arkansas as a developmental project. Throughout, the hosts interject with stats, personal anecdotes, and side discussions about the Red Wings' hockey game, maintaining a lively, informal tone. They recap the mock, praising its balance of need and value, and tease future draft content.
