The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to talk about what the Cleveland Browns will do with their top two picks in the NFL draft. Troy explains the difference in Darnold & Rosen, and if there’s a possibility of the Browns taking Saquon Barkley with the first pick in the draft.

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

DMac tells Big Al he’s been watching tape of Taven Bryan, and Al says don’t underestimate Vita Vea’s strength. DMac warns everyone they will eventually be in a world without Gotsis & Wolfe on this defense, and the guys run through an agents poll about which GMs are trusted & respected. Jenny Cavnar gets the guys fired up and we hear her call of the Rockies game last night, when she exclaimed ‘fire up the fountains!’ Big Al is happy Meek Mill has been released, and Mike Francesa wants back in the radio game. Also, why Jim Brown the GOAT likes Saquon. Big Al tells DMac why picking Josh Rosen is the best thing for the Browns to do, and DMac isn’t so sure every one of the first-round QBs won’t disappoint.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

DMac says there was no debate when it came to drafting Von Miller, and John Elway is going to get himself in trouble if he takes an entire week to tinker with his draft board. DMac tells Al he’s right on about the Browns picking Josh Rosen, and they can’t help but be the Cleveland Browns. DMac tells Big Al the Broncos have been in conversations with the Bills, Dolphins & Cardinals about trading out of the No. 5 pick. Also, Big Al breaks down why the conversation about Baker Mayfield as the number one pick in the draft is simply a smoke-screen. Big Al hits DMac with his Big Board of Nose Tackles. Names on Al’s board include Da’Ron Payne of Alabama and Vita Vea from Washington. Big Al’s Big Board on linebackers includes Leighton Vander Esch out of Boise St and Roquan Smith out of Georgia.

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

In their ‘No-trade Tuesday,’ the boys make their picks for their initial 2018 mock draft. DMac makes some crazy QB picks, and Big Al defines what players will be the ‘real deal.’ DMac’s smoke-screens fall through and he figures out how to replace Eli Manning in New York. Also, why there is no way Josh Allen gets selected with Bradley Chubb on the board. The guys run through some draft scenarios and decide how many QBs will go in the top five picks. Also, Big Al lays down some rules when it comes to their mock draft that will go down tomorrow including trades. DMac takes some calls on if the Jets would trade their pick in the draft for Case Keenum & a second-rounder.
