New York Jets PICK CONFUSION with Arvell Reese or David Bailey & Titans off Jeremiyah Love Noise Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

The New York Jets have the NFL Draft conversation in a pretzel at the moment as everyone tries to guess what they would do with the second pick. Arvell Reese and David Bailey seem to be the only two options, but things seem very split on which will be the selection. However, it should be Reese, as he is the better overall football player. The Arizona Cardinals also are up in the air with their first pick, but at some point we should expect a second pick to be Ty Simpson at quarterback. After the two edge rushers, the Tennessee Titans are expected to take Jeremiyah Love, but as of the past 48 hours, reports seem to indicate the Titans are off of Love, but we shouldn't buy it. The New York Giants have also been linked to Sonny Styles the entire process, but now all the sudden we are hearing they do not like Styles. Another misdirect that we should be skeptical about. Finally, the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs are still the teams we expect to trade up, but could the Los Angeles Rams also crash the party?

REPORT: New England Patriots Trading for AJ Brown INEVITABLE & Cardinals LOVE Jeremiyah Love Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

The New England Patriots are likely to be getting AJ Brown in a trade after the first of June and multiple reports essentially confirmed this on Monday. Brown reunites with former coach Mike Vrabel and gives an instant upgrade to Drake Maye. A great move for the Patriots to take the next step. The Arizona Cardinals are trying to take the next step as a franchise and they may need a running back to do it as reports indicate they are now interested in taking Jeremiyah Love with the third pick. There are a lot of factors at play here as smokescreen season is at it's height. A team without a first round pick is the Indianapolis Colts and they will also likely be without Kenny Moore and Anthony Richardson, who have requested trades, and Alec Pierce, who will miss months from an unexpected ankle surgery just weeks after signing a massive new contract.

BIG MONEY: San Francisco 49ers LOCK IN Trent Williams, Giants TRADE Dexter Lawrence, Drama BUILDS Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

San Francisco 49ers lock down Trent Williams with an extension, opting for proven dominance at left tackle over uncertain rookie talent. With the NFL Draft looming, Tony Wiggins and Julian Council break down the 49ers’ strategy, debate tackle prospects like Max Ahaneachor, and explore how veteran leadership shapes Super Bowl hopes. The conversation heats up around New England Patriots’ pursuit of A.J. Brown and what Drake May needs to succeed under pressure.

New York Giants shake up draft night by trading Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for a second top-10 pick, raising big questions about positional value versus proven playmakers. The Dallas Cowboys’ draft plans face scrutiny as premium defensive prospects fly off the board, and the Arizona Cardinals’ rumored pick of Jeremyiah Love at running back stirs controversy. Which teams are truly building for the future—and which might fall into old traps?

Cincinnati Bengals BIG RISK with Dexter Lawrence Trade, Giants Changing Culture & David Bailey Drama Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

The Cincinnati Bengals went BIG over the weekend with a blockbuster trade for Dexter Lawrence. This is an ALL-IN move for the Bengals after missing the playoffs multiple years in a row with Joe Burrow in his prime. Cincinnati needed help on defense and could have been in a bad spot in the NFL Draft, but committing this asset to an aging defensive tackle will always be a risk. The New York Giants are also making a big move here to reset their culture and roster, but to be successful, they of course have to hit on these picks which hasn't always been the Giants' outcome. Finally, the other New York team, the Jets, made a spicy decision to cancel David Bailey's visit, who could be their pick at #2 and this has caused all of the noise about Bailey over the past few weeks to quiet down. Showing it may never have been real at all.
