James Mirtle joins the show to help conduct a preliminary mock draft ahead of Wednesday night's highly anticipated expansion festivities.

Rather than going through the picks in alphabetical order we instead lumped each of the 30 teams into a five separate categories based on what type of assets they're providing Vegas with:

5:06 Teams with side deals reportedly in place
18:31 Teams with no real appealing options available
26:29 Teams with the one obvious selection that stands alone
47:02 Teams with an established veteran vs. younger alternative
55:54 Teams with a number of different options to choose from
