#468: Dash To The Draft 2024 (AFC North Draft Preview with Bill Carroll)

April 15, 2024 03:30 - 1 hour - 112 MB

1. If you're the Bengals, do you trade Tee Higgins during the draft, or do you think you can get a better return by trading him right before the mid-July franchise tag deadline? 2. Last year, Steelers GM Omar Khan traded up three spots to select a raw, but super promising athletic OT in Broderick Jones. This year, can you anticipate Pittsburgh making an even bigger jump up the board (say seven or eight spots) to select a potential bookend tackle to Jones? 3. If there's a certain position o...

#467: Dash To The Draft 2024 (AFC West Draft Preview with Carl Dumler)

April 11, 2024 04:36 - 40 minutes - 74.8 MB

1. Say the Cardinals trade back with the Vikings, netting them picks 11 and 23, meaning they would have four selections in the top 35. But shortly thereafter, in typical Monti Ossenfort fashion, the Cardinals offer the Chargers two of those four top-35 selections along with say a second or third next year to come up to 5. If you're Jim Harbaugh, do you take that deal and get yourself say Taliese Fuaga at 11 and Adonai Mitchell in the 20's, or do you stand pat at 5 and take the top WR on your...

#466: Dash To The Draft 2024 (AFC East Draft Preview with Billy Riccette)

April 08, 2024 03:30 - 39 minutes - 73.5 MB

1. If you're Eliot Wolf, who's the Patriots de facto GM, what would you do with the third overall pick? If the Patriots do indeed stand pat at 3 and take a QB, should they have Jacoby Brissett start the entire 2024 season and whichever QB they select take the reins in 2025 a la Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes? 2. Before free agency, most mock drafts had the Jets selecting a tackle with the 10th overall pick. But shortly after the news of the Tyron Smith signing broke, myself and several oth...

#465: Dash To The Draft 2024 (AFC South Draft Preview with Vinod Tonangi)

April 05, 2024 03:21 - 27 minutes - 51.4 MB

1. Would you be surprised or even shocked if the Titans, should they keep the pick at 7, do not upgrade Will Levis's protection with a new OT? Another thing to keep in mind is that Tennessee only has two top-100 selections (7, 38). If another team offers the Titans another such selection for them to move back, would you take that deal if you're Ran Carthon? 2. When you look at the Colts, this is a roster that doesn't really have any glaring holes on it, so they are well-positioned to take t...

#464: Dash To The Draft 2024 (NFC North Draft Preview with Robert Schmitz)

April 03, 2024 04:17 - 1 hour - 118 MB

1. Say one of Rome Odunze or Joe Alt, along with both Dallas Turner and Jared Verse are still available when the Bears are on the clock for the second time. But say the Jaguars at 17 or the Rams at 19, who DESPERATELY need a receiver and LT, respectively, offer the Bears their first and second-round picks this year plus their 2025 third-round pick to move up to 9. If you're Ryan Poles, do you take that deal or do you stay put at 9 and take whoever the top player on your board is? 2. Let's s...

#463: Dash To The Draft 2024 (NFC West Draft Preview with Matty Brown)

April 01, 2024 03:30 - 56 minutes - 105 MB

1. If you're Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort, do you only move back from 4 for a package that's greater than or equal to the value of what the Dolphins received in the Trey Lance trade three years ago? Another thing to keep in mind is that last year, shortly after the Cardinals traded down from 3 with the Texans, they moved right back up to 6 with the Lions to take the guy they coveted all along in Paris Johnson, Jr. Do you anticipate Arizona making a similar series of moves on April 25? 2. Wh...

#462: Dash To The Draft 2024 (NFC South Draft Preview with Scott Kennedy)

March 29, 2024 03:30 - 27 minutes - 51.6 MB

1. Should the Panthers spend both of their second-round picks (33 and 39) on further upgrading the supporting cast for Bryce Young, or should they spend one of those picks on beefing up the Brian Burns-less pass rush? 2. Given the massive investment the Falcons just made in Kirk Cousins with that four-year, $180 million contract, do you get the feeling the Falcons will choose to either upgrade the OL by taking one of the top-three tackles or select one of WR's Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers if...

#461: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of DL/EDGE Class with Devin Jackson)

March 27, 2024 03:34 - 46 minutes - 85.7 MB

1. Dane Brugler said that Dallas Turner is probably the favorite to be the first defensive player off the board. Do you share that view and if so, what on tape makes him such an intriguing talent? Do you think Dallas Turner is capable of evolving into that "Batman" teams covet in their pass rush? 2. What makes Jared Verse an instant impact Day 1 NFL starter and why would some teams have him higher than Dallas Turner on their boards? 3. Do you think Laiatu Latu is worth a top-15 pick, or ...

#460: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of LB Class with Bill Carroll)

March 25, 2024 03:30 - 57 minutes - 107 MB

1. For the second consecutive year, we seem to be looking at a very underwhelming crop of linebackers. What is your overall impression of this group and are there still solid options for LB-needy teams to consider? 2. When you factor in both the athletic promise and the troublesome medical history of Payton Wilson, how high can you see him getting drafted? 3. Since Junior Colson both played in and led a pretty comprehensive, pro-style defense in college, can you see him wearing the green d...

#459: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of RB Class with Jeff Barnes)

March 20, 2024 02:41 - 27 minutes - 50.7 MB

1. Last week, shortly after NFL free agency began, we saw a rather unprecedented market for running backs develop, especially by today's standards. And a big reason why that happened, according to Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network, is that the NFL is very down on the 2024 RB class. So I have a two-part question for you Jeff. First, what is your overall assessment of this crop of running backs and second, regardless of what you believe, why do you think NFL scouts and personnel executives feel t...

#458: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of DB Class with Bill Carroll)

March 18, 2024 04:30 - 55 minutes - 102 MB

1. If Terrion Arnold has a case to be the first defensive player off the board on April 25, what is it? 2. Would you be surprised if Quinyon Mitchell ends up being the best corner in this class? 3. Clemson's Nate Wiggins is arguably the most "traits-y" corner in this draft class, but he had a rather disappointing Combine, only weighing in at 173 pounds (2nd percentile) and measuring in at an arm length of 30 1/2" (18th percentile). Do those measurements alone kick him out of the first roun...

#457: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of WR/TE Class with Nick Martin)

March 15, 2024 03:05 - 51 minutes - 95.6 MB

1. For quite some time, Ohio State's Marvin Harrison, Jr. has been touted as a generational WR prospect. Several consider him as the best overall prospect in this draft class regardless of position. What exactly makes Marvin Harrison, Jr. such a rare, special talent? 2. If there is a case for Malik Nabers to be drafted ahead of Marvin Harrison, Jr., what is it? 3. What does Rome Odunze bring to the table that neither Marvin Harrison, Jr. nor Malik Nabers do? 4. What is the best trait in B...

#456: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of OL Class with Joey Richards)

March 13, 2024 03:05 - 27 minutes - 51.5 MB

1. NFL insider Benjamin Allbright reported that the NFL is quite lower on Joe Alt than draft media is and added that the league has compared him to Mike McGlinchey, another former Notre Dame OT that you're quite familiar with. Do you agree or disagree with the NFL's assessment of Joe Alt, and if you disagree, why will Alt likely be a better player than the current Broncos RT? 2. Should whoever drafts Taliese Fuaga him try him at tackle first and then switch him to guard if he fails? Would ...

#455: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Combine Preview + Mock Draft with Jeff Barnes)

February 28, 2024 03:44 - 52 minutes - 96.9 MB

1. Aside from positional value, what makes J.J. McCarthy worth a top-10 pick, and would it surprise you if he got drafted before either Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye? 2. One player expected to shine in on-field workouts at the Combine is Texas DT Byron Murphy. According to NFL Draft Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic, Murphy's goals are to run a 4.8-second 40, a 7.2-second three cone drill, and do "at least" 35 bench press reps. If he hits those numbers, will Byron Murphy solidify himself...

#454: 2024 Houston Texans Offseason Preview (with Vinod Tonangi)

February 22, 2024 03:27 - 30 minutes - 55.9 MB

1. The first big move of the Texans off-season occurred the week before the Super Bowl as they were able to retain both offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik (who was a hot head coaching candidate) and QB's coach Jerrod Johnson (who was a hot OC candidate) on revised contracts. Does this move suggest to you that Jerrod Johnson will replace Bobby Slowik at offensive coordinator should Slowik get a head coaching job in 2025? 2. Which positions do the Texans need to address the most in both free ...

#453: 2024 Chicago Bears Offseason Preview (with Carl Dumler)

February 13, 2024 02:05 - 36 minutes - 68 MB

1. Based on what you've seen from their tape thus far, do you think Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or even Jayden Daniels would be an automatic upgrade over Justin Fields and why? 2. If you're Ryan Poles, do you commit to trading Justin Fields by mid-March, or would you be willing to hold on to him until April, especially if neither Caleb Williams nor Drake Maye impress in interviews at the Combine? 3. According to NFL insider Brad Spielberger of PFF, the Bears would probably be able to recei...
