Without question, the NFL Draft has become one of the biggest events on the sports calendar. Regardless of where we are in the season (or offseason), fans are constantly craving information regarding their favorite team and the NFL Draft.
That's why CBS Sports' new "With the First Pick" podcast is the ideal show for any NFL fan. In each episode, CBS Sports senior draft analyst Ryan Wilson and former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman will give you an update on where teams and prospects currently stand as far as the draft is concerned.

In the debut episode, Wilson and Spielman discuss the battle for who will be the first-overall pick in the draft.
