    Part 2: Deja Brew – NFL Picks & Repeated Sips

    Welcome back to "Beards, Bottles, and Balls" for a surprise bonus episode! Who says you can’t have too much of a good thing? Well, we’re testing that theory by diving back into our NFL draft pick projections—yes, the same ones from earlier this week. We’re still nursing the same bottle of bourbon (because why waste a good thing?), and we’re ready to tackle the second half of the first-round picks. Join us as we ponder over the Seahawks’ latest strategies, cry over not watching the draft together, and argue whether the Jaguars are really just a receiver away from glory. No new bottle to discuss, but plenty of old picks to debate! It's the sequel no one asked for, but just like that last sip of bourbon, we can't help but pour ourselves a little more. So, buckle up, pour another one if you’re keeping pace, and let’s get into the thick of it with more laughs, more predictions, and maybe a few regrets by the end of the night.
