Former UCLA linebacker Josh Woods and Orange County Register reporter James H. Williams discuss the four Bruins that were taken in the 2023 NFL draft and where the other 11 players are headed for rookie camp.

James also talks about what he's seen out at practice and how the defense has the edge over the offense during the final week of spring ball.
