AFC North Offseason Priorities: Which team will set themselves up as the biggest contender? (Football 2/23) Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

Our offseason priority series continues with a focus on the AFC North. Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Josh Edwards tackle the needs of the Bengals (5:00), Browns (17:00), Ravens (31:00) and Steelers (43:15). In Cincy, it's all about supporting Joe Burrow. The Bengals have a top pick and plenty of money to spend, but they must approach this offseason wisely (not always a given for that franchise). Cleveland is coming off its most successful season in years and looks to build upon their future, which may not include Odell Beckham Jr. anymore. As of now, Baltimore actually has the best Super Bowl odds in the division, but must aim to add more weapons around Lamar Jackson. And Pittsburgh...There's lots of questions with free agents but the bigger lingering question is with Ben Roethlisberger and his diminished play. Check out all the draft and free agency priorities for the AFC North on this episode.

📬 Mailbag: What NFL team gets the least amount of media coverage? How good will the Chargers be next year? (Football 2/19) Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

The Pick Six Superfriends gather for the first mailbag of the offseason. First, Deebo addresses a bold prediction that turned out to be very wrong in 2020. The guys also answer how many wins the Chargers will have next season, the team that gets the least amount of media coverage and what team is most likely to be relocated. Will a secondary football league ever really succeed? The guys then get a bit existential before sharing embarrassing stories of each other (again).

NFC East Offseason Priorities: Will the Cowboys sign Dak Prescott long-term? Can the Eagles avoid being flat out bad? (Football 2/18) Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Ah, the NFC East. The division was a disaster in 2020, which means all four teams have a laundry list of offseason priorities before we get to 2021. On this episode, Will Brinson, Jared Dubin and Cody Benjamin break down the top needs for the Eagles (2:05), Cowboys (14:45), Giants (27:30) and Washington (42:45). First, Philadelphia is a mess and could trade their quarterback at any moment. But what happens after that? The list for Dallas is simpler. Get Dak Prescott figured out and some other things could fall into place. Is a Saquon Barkley extension coming and how much will it cost New York? And WFT...Who's your QB?

Texans double standard on display + Embracing the age of QB empowerment in the NFL (Football 2/17) Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

Somehow, a 4-12 team has captured more offseason headlines than any other. The Texans remain a talking point in NFL circles and not for the right reasons. While they probably pulled their best PR move in a while with the amicable release of JJ Watt, they showcased a double standard when it comes to how they've handled Deshaun Watson. On this episode, Will Brinson is joined by Jonathan Jones to break down what's happening in Houston. And now that Watt is a free agent, where could he end up? The bigger prize is Watson, as the guys suggest more teams that could be in the mix, highlighted by the Carolina Panthers. And what happens if Watson isn't dealt? JJ thinks he better be prepared to hold out or skip games after taking this stand. The conversation extends into this current era of playerment empowerment, specifically for star quarterbacks. But don't get it twisted, this doesn't have much to do with Tom Brady's switch last year. This movement has been building for some time now. Carson Wentz was horrible in 2020 and is still likely going to get his trade wish granted, so that tells you all you need to know!

AFC East Offseason Priorities: Do the Dolphins need another QB? Can the Patriots remain competitive? (Football 2/16) Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

Teams have long been thinking about the offseason and we're now thinking about free agency and the draft as well. Over the next 4 weeks, we'll be tackling offseason priorities for each team, one division at a time. On this episode: the AFC East! Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech break down the focal points between now and late April for the Jets (2:45), Dolphins (12:10), Patriots (26:45) and Bills (36:00). First, the Jets have a decision to make at #2 in the draft but could that be influenced by another quarterback currently on the market? It's astounding to say, but the Dolphins might just be in the quarterback hunt after a disappointing rookie season from Tua Tagovailoa. Tom Brady won the "who's more important" battle over Bill Belichick in 2020, but what's the path for New England to re-enter the contender discussion in 2021? Buffalo is coming off one of their best campaigns in decades and their attention should be on retaining their nucleus and possibly giving Josh Allen a big payday.

NFL Mock Draft Monday 1.0: Breaking down Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the quarterbacks (Football 2/15) Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to draft season! Each Monday over the next few months, the Pick Six feed will be dedicated to draft content and mock drafts (with plenty of mid-week coverage as well). We start things today with a set-up of things to come. Trevor Lawrence is the blatantly obvious #1 overall selection as Ryan Wilson details what makes him such a great prospect. Then, we shift focus to the rest of the quarterback class and Wilson's unique rankings. Who's the 2nd-best QB behind Lawrence? Is it Justin Fields, Zach Wilson Mac Jones or even Trey Lance? Quarterbacks tend to dominate the pre-draft discussion, so we set the table here but will cover everything you need to know in the coming weeks regarding the 2021 NFL Draft.
