Spring Gleaning: Big Ten West (05/04) May 04, 2020

Show notes

Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa battle for supremacy in the Big Ten's more unpredictable division. First, whether Paul Chryst gets rightly rated for his impressive run of success with the Badgers (5:00), why Minnesota is not a one-season wonder (17:45) and how Iowa could play a role in the Big Ten title race even if it misses the championship game (26:45). Then, small margins for Illinois (36:00), high grades for individual talent at Purdue (43:30), still waiting on that Nebraska breakthrough (50:15) and why Northwestern's track record suggests they won't be in last place for long (57:30).

Way-Too-Early 2021 NFL Draft Lookahead: Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields? (Pick Six NFL Podcast Crossover) (5/1) May 01, 2020

Show notes

It's officially May, but it's never too early to take a look at next year's draft class. On this Cover 3-Pick Six crossover podcast, we take a look at the 2021 NFL Draft and the prospects we'll be watching all year (3:30). How close is Justin Fields to Trevor Lawrence for the claim as the nation's best QB? The top two quarterbacks are pretty evident at this point but names like Jamie Newman, Brock Purdy and Trey Lance are all ones to monitor (20:20). Could next year's receiving class match 2020's (29:15)? With names like J'Marr Chase, Justyn Ross and Devonta Smith, 2021 might just have a chance. We know all about Clemson's Travis Etienne but a few other running backs could creep into the first round conversation as well (36:30). And finally, why we should all take notice of Penei Sewell out at Oregon (41:45).
