FRIDAY DRAFT STREAM: Grading the Redskins' first round and looking ahead to what they need to accomplish in the second Apr 26, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and mega-smart special guest Trevor Matich are here to recap the Redskins' first night of the NFL Draft and also evaluate what the franchise must do on Day 2. First, they each give their grades of the Dwayne Haskins and Montez Sweat selections, and while there are some tiny things to nitpick, they're all largely thrilled. In those conversations, you'll hear Matich explain why Sweat will be "vastly" better than Preston Smith and also what he thinks Haskins must improve on to make it in the league. After, they turn their attention to Friday, as each host identifies the most important positions to address and names that could work at those third round slots (or perhaps in the second if a trade presents itself). If you like podcasts where Trevor compliments Pete's ability to drop anchor and Mitch is in heaven with all the linemen talk, then this is the episode for you.

WEDNESDAY DRAFT STREAM: All the QB analysis and rankings you need, plus the predicament that the Redskins are facing Apr 24, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were on the MyTeams app on Wednesday for their first draft stream, and its now available to you as a Redskins Talk podcast ep. To start, the three hosts go deep on QBs, discussing potential trade-ups Washington could make, whether Dwayne Haskins is the answer and if Daniel Jones would be as disastrous as many fans think. They then have Kevin Sheehan on (14:46), and Sheehan gives strong insight on the main predicament that's facing the Burgundy and Gold in this year's draft as well as why making a big move up would be a "massive mistake." Eric Bickel of the Junkies hops on next (27:39), and he explains why he feels a move that creates buzz is necessary as well as why he'd be cool with DK Metcalf at pick No. 15. Finally, Barstool Nate gets in on the action (45:10), ranking the passers he prefers as well before doing some tremendous Capitals shtick. If you like podcasts where JP comes up with a smooth golf analogy to describe Daniel Jones and Pete gets a very fitting Game of Thrones nickname, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

JP Finlay and Chris Simms' chat on the MyTeams app is now coming to you as a podcast, and it's a really strong one. In it, the two run through all of this year's top passers in the draft, analyzing the guys' best and worst attributes, whether they'll be around for the Redskins to select at pick No. 15 and how they'd fit in the team's system. You'll hear about 'em all, from Kyler to Dwayne to Drew to Jones to Grier to Stidham and Finley, too. In addition, Simms compares Josh Rosen to the prospects coming out this time around, because Rosen could be QBX as well. If you like podcasts where JP gets called a "handsome young fella" and Simms identifies one under-the-radar name who could sneak into Round 1, then this is the episode for you. (This was taken off of the MyTeams app, so you'll hear some music at times, which some listeners have mentioned. That music was played during highlights and b-roll in the original broadcast)
