    Judgement Index Scores:

    De’Zhaun Stribling- 968

    Matt Barrows- 888

    Tim Kawakami- NA. He was too busy carrying this podcast.

    Love you guys. Your chemistry makes for unrivaled banter on the pod. It is the best part of my day. If you listen to this podcast, you will understand that this Forty Niners regime will either draft a Wide Receiver or Defensive End with their first pick in the draft despite all of us fanboys wanting them to draft an Offensive Lineman with that pick.
