AFC Team-by-team NFL Draft Grades: Broncos get top marks with 'A' while Raiders labeled with 'D' draft (Football 5/4) May 04, 2021

Show notes

The draft is done and the grades are in. Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to discuss marks for each team in the AFC. The guys start in the AFC East (2:45), where the Jets and Patriots both landed 1st-round quarterbacks, the Dolphins cashed in on 2 first-rounders and the Bills looked to bolster a squad that made the conference championship game last season. We progress to the AFC North (23:00), where Breech's Bengals landed a kicker, Wilson's Steelers' secured a 1st-round running back, the Ravens added help for Lamar Jackson and the Browns kept building one of the best rosters in the league. The AFC South collectively were issued the worst grades (42:00), minus the Jaguars, who picked a generational talent, Trevor Lawrence. The Titans, Texans and Colts could have done better. And the AFC West is secretly, or maybe not-so-secretly, shaping up to be one of the best divisions in football (58:30). The Broncos, Chiefs and Chargers are fared well in the draft, but the Raiders fell behind, per usual.

2021 NFL Draft Day 2 Winners & Losers: Raiders, Panthers, Browns emerge as winners, while Steelers, Jaguars and Aaron Rodgers considered losers (Football 5/1) May 01, 2021

Show notes

Day 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft is in the books and while we didn't have the same fireworks as Thursday, there were still plenty of notable moves that could dictate the path several franchises take next year and beyond. Will Brinson is joined by Josh Edwards and Chris Trapasso to break down everything from Rounds 2 & 3 with a focus on winners & losers from Friday. First, the guys pinpoint their favorite selections at the top of the 2nd round (6:30). Next, it's time to anoint winners (12:30). A couple of names like the Raiders and Eagles may be a surprise to see in this category. Also, could we be headed towards a Browns-Bills AFC Championship Game next season? Trapasso thinks so, but we know Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will have something to say about that. The crew also dishes out losers from Day 2 (48:00) and Brinson torches the Jaguars and Edwards explains why the Steelers' draft has been a miss. Will, Josh and Chris break down the 3 quarterbacks that were selected on Friday (1:10:00), before highlighting a few of the best players available entering Saturday (1:13:00).

2021 NFL Draft 1st Round Recap: Trey Lance to 49ers, Justin Fields to Bears, Mac Jones to Patriots, Grades, Winners & Losers + Aaron Rodgers rumors (Football 4/30) Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

Wow! Not to be dramatic, but that had to have been one of the most eventful draft days/nights in NFL history. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech are here to guide you through it all. Before things got going in Cleveland, we started to hear rumors of a disgruntled Aaron Rodgers and some reports that he could be moving on from the Packers. Don't worry we'll cover that, but first have to tackle what happened in the draft. Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson went 1-2 as expected, but then things spiraled. Trey Lance is a 49er, the Bears traded up for Justin Fields and Mac Jones fell to the Patriots at #15. How did it all go down? The Pick Six Superfriends discuss the entire first round, dishing out grades as well as winners & losers of Thursday.

Draft Day is here! Burning Questions answered including Broncos' focus after trade for Teddy Bridgewater, teams that could trade up for a QB, risers and fallers (Football 4/29) Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

We made it to a non-virtual draft night. To celebrate the occasion, Will Brinson welcomes Josh Edwards to address the final burning questions heading into the 1st round. The Broncos acquired Teddy Bridgewater from the Panthers on Wednesday, so what will that mean for Denver at #9 and the teams around them? The guys also discuss the most debated pick and what the 49ers will do at #3. Which team is most likely to trade up to target a quarterback? Each year, there are risers and there are fallers and Josh does his best to identify a few candidates for both categories. Finally, who will be the next pick after the big names go off the board? For example, we know Ja'Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle are the Big 3 wide receivers, but who will be WR4?
