When I woke up with a headache today, I knew it was either a hangover or that something cataclysmic had happened in the world of newsletter writing and it turns out that it was the second one.If you subscribe to multiple newsletters here at CBSSports.com, then you may be familiar with Pete Blackburn, who handles our CBS Sports HQ AM newsletter. Well, he used to handle it and that's because today was his last day at CBS Sports. It's a sad day for all -- except for people who don't like Pete, I gue s it's a good day for them. I will definitely be pouring one out for ol' Pete this weekend. If you want to check out his final newsletter, and I think you should, if only to make him feel better about himself, .On the other hand, if you don't know who Pete is and you'd like me to stop talking about this person you've never met so you can read some football news, that seems fair, so let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is. 1. Today's show: Friday MailbagDuring the NFL offseason, we like to spice things up each week by adding a listener mailbag every Friday. Our mailbag episodes are pretty simple: We read listener questions during the show and then answer as many of those questions as po sible. Questions can be about literally anything. I mean, I think we once spent 10 minutes debating whether almond milk was actually better than oat milk and/or regular milk (the answer is yes). Anyway, if you want to submit a question, all you have to do is go to Apple Podcasts () and leave a five-star review.For today's mailbag, the questions were all over the place. Here's a small sample: I was getting whooped in Madden again and it made me think back to better days when they had a rewind feature so you could re-do one terrible play per game, like throwing a pick or giving up a big-play TD. If I could do that for a game in recent memory, the are walking out of Green Bay with a win in 2015 because DEZ CAUGHT IT and that team could have beaten Seattle and then New England. Would love to hear one play that you'd change!As a homer, I can think of roughly 712 plays that I would change over the past decade, but since this is just limited to one, I would change fumble against the that came with 1:26 to play in the 2015 wild-card game. If that fumble doesn't happen, and Pacman Jones don't get called for dumb penalties and the Steelers don't win. I'd also think about changing the play in the 2005 wild-card Tyler Seguin Kids Jersey game where tore his ACL. That was also against the Steelers. Basically, I would change every play the Bengals have ever had against the Steelers.If you guys could take one thing about soccer to improve the NFL what would it be and vice versa if you could take one thing from the NFL to improve soccer what would it be?This is a fascinating question that I had to think about for longer than I care to admit. If I could bring one soccer thing to the NFL, it would be relegation. This means the worse teams would get bumped down to a "B" league and the best teams from the "B" league would be bumped up to the NFL. The four worst teams every year would be bumped down, which means if there had been relegation this year, the , , and would have been moved down. The only thing we need for this plan to work is for the NFL to create a minor league. That's not asking too much, right?To listen to the rest of the questions from today's mailbag -- and to follow the podcast --. 2. The Mock Draft of all Mock Drafts: The Consensus Mock DraftWith le s than a week to go until the 2021 NFL Draft kicks off, I'm legally obligated to share at least one new mock draft with you every day until the actual draft starts, and today, we have the best one yet. It's the consensus mock draft.Our Josh Edwards scoured the internet and compiled 13 mock drafts from multiple different media companies, including ESPN and NFL.com and of course, CBS Sports. Edwards then went full Dr. Frankenstein and cobbled these 13 mock drafts into one consensus mock draft.Here are the top 15 picks in the consensus mock.1. Jaguars:QB Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)2. Jets:QB Zach Wilson (BYU)3.:QB Mac Jones (Alabama)4. Falcons:QB Trey Lance (North Dakota State)5. Bengals:OL Penei Sewell (Oregon) 6. :WR Ja'Marr Chase (LSU)7. (mock trade with ):QB Justin Fields (Ohio State)8. :TE Kyle Pitts (Florida)9. :LB Micah Parsons (Penn State)10. Cowboys:CB Patrick Surtain II (Alabama)11. : WR Jaylen Waddle (Alabama)12. : WR DeVonta Smith (Alabama)13. : OL Rashawn Slater (Northwestern)14. : EDGE Jaelan Phillips (Miami, Fla.)15. Lions (mock trade with Patriots): CB Jaycee Horn (South Carolina)If you want to see how the rest of the first round plays out, and trust me, you do, then . 3. hates the NFL's new rule for jersey numbersIt's not often that you'll hear Tom Brady complain about an NFL rule during the middle of the offseason, but that's exactly what he did on Thursday. As we all know, when you get older, not only do you hate change, but you're extra cranky all the time and both of those things definitely apply to Brady for the way he .After the rule pa sed, Brady jumped on Instagram to let everyone know that the new rule is going to lead to "bad football.""Good luck trying to block the right people now," Brady wrote on Instagram. "Going to make for a lot of bad football." Brady then followed that up with another angry Instagram me sage."Why not let the linemen wear whatever they want too? Why have numbers? Just have colored jerseys... Why not wear the same number... Dumb."I'm not sure if Brady accidentally ate a spoiled avocado for breakfast yesterday, but that Ty Dellandrea Men Jersey is definitely the crankiest he's ever sounded about anything. That being said, I kind of empathize with Brady. I mean, he's 43 years old and he's now going have to learn a completely new numbering system. The problem with the new system is that Brady -- and other players on the field -- might not know what position a player is playing based on their number alone.Basically, all of this could create more confusion for an offensive lineman, which could lead to more sacks by the defense, which means Brady could take more hits, and you know what, I think I now understand why he hates the rule. In a twist, the Patriots , which means Bill Belichick seems to hate it as much as Brady. 4. 2021 NFL Draft best betsThe only thing more exciting than watching the NFL Draft is making money while you're watching the NFL Draft and to help you do that this year, we'll be sharing some best bets in each newsletter between now and the draft.Today's best bets come from NFL writer Jordan Dajani. After reading through his bets, I've noticed three things: He doesn't think the Bengals are going to take Penei Sewell, he thinks the whole thing about the 49ers drafting Mac Jones is one giant smokescreen and he's going to be a rich man if Jaycee Horn is the first corner taken in the draft.With that in mind, :1. Penei Sewell draft position: Over 5.5 (-190). 2. Micah Parsons draft position: Over 11.5 (-140). 3. Third overall pick: Justin Fields (+150). 4. Jaylen Waddle draft position: Under 11.5 (-135). 5. First cornerback drafted: Jaycee Horn (+300). " 5. Ranking the best draft picks of all-time With the 2021 NFL Draft just around the corner, we decided to kick off a series last month that features the top draft picks of all time.

Our countdown started with the 32nd spot, and now, we've reached the top five.With that in mind, here's our list of the top No. 5 overall picks of all time.1. Deion Sanders (1989, Falcons)2.

The Kicker: Bro hugs are returning to the NFL Draft and nearly everyone in Alabama will be getting oneWith the 2021 NFL Draft le s than one week away, one of the most important questions that had yet to be answered was whether Roger Goodell would be handing out any bro hugs this year. It turns out we now have an answer to that question and the answer is YES.Apparently, the NFL commi sioner has been fully vaccinated, which means we could see him hand out as many as 13 bro hugs during the first round. The reason that number is 13 is because that's how many players will be attending the draft. The NFL released the list of those 13 players on Friday and the one thing I immediately noticed is that nearly half the players on the list attended Alabama.Not only will Mac Jones be in Cleveland for the draft, but his former teammates DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Patrick Surtain II and Christian Barmore will also be on-hand. To be honest, the NFL probably should have just invited every player on the Alabama roster along with Nick Saban and maybe even everyone in the entire state. This draft is basically a celebration of the state of Alabama. My wife is from Alabama and this is going to be the argument I use to get her to watch the entire thing.Oh, and since you might be wondering, the non-Alabama players who will be in Cleveland for Alexander Radulov Women Jersey the draft are: Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Gregory Rou seau, Ja'Marr Chase, Rashawn Slater, Caleb Farley, Micah Parsons and Kyle Pitts.
