- I am looking forward to being part of the 2022 NFL Draft, my 39th for ESPN
- The 2020 NFL draft just won't be the same without my dear friend and sparring partner Todd Todd Todd @McShay13. Todd really puts in the work and makes us all better. We will miss him and I'm hoping he's 100 percent and back on my case, ASAP. You got this, Todd.
- The Jets ended up with my top cornerback (Sauce Gardner) and top receiver (Garrett Wilson) and didn’t have to trade up. Nice night.
- One more week until the Panthers are on the clock. Wish I still had this sweater.
- My 40th draft with ESPN. Time flies. Round 4 starts soon.
- Mario Cristobal claims he spoke to a million people about Cam Ward, yet the one he didn’t speak to, being me, had Ward ranked higher (6th on my Big Board) than any of the other draft experts.

- After 14 years of many interesting discussions/debates, Kiper’s Callers, fantastic guests, Mikey C’s antics, and so much fun, Dari and I are hanging up our headphones and saying goodbye to the Dari and Mel Show on ESPN radio. Thank you to our loyal fans who have kept us going all

00:00 - Mort was a great journalist, and he always challenged me. That's what you want in a friend and ally. He was so caring, so selfless, so loyal, so funny. He was one of a kind. I'll miss him.My family and I are crushed about the passing of Chris Mortensen. Mort was an amazing friend -- 80% of our conversations were about family, not football. If you've ever read one of my mock drafts, chances are you read a little bit of Mort's information in there, too.
- A sad day with the passing of Bill Tobin, an accomplished front office executive who made the NFL a better league during his decorated career. Kim and I send our sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.
