Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporter Charles Robinson and former NFL running back Damien Harris to give their initial thoughts and takeaways from a wild first night of the 2024 NFL Draft. The trio dive into a few standout selections, including plenty of time analyzing what the Atlanta Falcons could possibly be thinking by taking Michael Penix Jr, J.J. McCarthy and Drake Maye and their respective fits with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots, why Tennessee Titans fans should be ecstatic about the J.C. Latham pick, Xavier Worthy's instant impact potential with the Kansas City Chiefs and why the Las Vegas Raiders took a tight end in the first round two years in a row.
5:55 - Michael Penix Jr. to the Falcons
32:05 - McCarthy to the Vikings & Drake Maye to the Patriots
45:20 - Why J.C. Latham was a home run pick
52:40 - Xavier Worthy to the Chiefs
58:45 - Why the Raiders picked Brock Bowers
