Tape Heads: Draft Season

Tape Heads is a twice-weekly, in-season X-and-O podcast giving fans the “whys and hows” of each week’s NFL action.
In each episode, Dan, Bob and Scott detail the biggest moments of the NFL weekend based on their study of All-22 coaching footage, aka “The Tape.” Conversations fueled by observation and analysis give fans the new insights and information they crave.
But its coverage extends beyond the surface of real time moments and extends into the living history of the National Football League. With diverse insights from former players and executives – who are also life-long fans and students of the game – Tape Heads also provides historical context for the topics of today, as well as an insider’s view of the current trends within the game.
Each week, Tape Heads will look back on what we saw in the previous week’s games, and then look ahead to the next week’s matchups using the “tale of the tape” to predict the keys to victory.

Show notes

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss how defensive coverages have changed in the NFL.

Show notes

Coach talks about the evaluation of players and how the speed at each level changes the versatility of players and sometimes even the positions they can play. Greg explores how difficult it can be for a coach to see physical traits and talent from a player, but not see the production that those traits should deliver. Coach Hafley explains how a player may not get the opportunities to show his best attributes and how you can put players in different positions. We discuss the prospects making that jump from College Football to the NFL, including BC's own Zion Johnson and the most talked about QB, Kenny Pickett.

Onto the players, we look at Daxton Hill, Quay Walker, Tyquan Thorton, Chad Muma, Jermaine Johnson, Neil Farrell, Arnold Ebiketi, and Kyle Phillips.

We look at the top TE's in the 2022 Draft including Trey McBride, Greg Dulcich, Jelani Woods, and Charlie Kolar. Greg explains the traits you're looking for in the position and which prospect could have an immediate impact in the league.

Draft Season: Episode 6- Rich Scangarello, Kentucky Football Offensive Coordinator Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell welcome Kentucky OC Rich Scangarello to the podcast. We discuss seeing players at the combine and how much stock NFL teams put into strictly what they're seeing there. As a long-time NFL coach, Rich explains how offenses have changed and how QB's have changed based on what's being asked of them on the field. This isn't being looked at as a deep QB draft, but Rich thinks a QB going a bit later in the Draft to a better team could help that player become a better QB. We also discuss Kentucky QB Will Levins and what Rich expects to see from him next season. Bob and Greg continue the discussion on seeing a College QB try to make that transition to the NFL and why the skills sometimes don't translate to the pros. Rich's thoughts also make us look at this class of QBs differently and explains why Kenny Pickett still tops the list of prospects.

Draft Season: Episode 5- Running Backs Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

We're talking Running Backs in this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast. Hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell explore what the RB position is right now in the NFL and what's expected from the College prospects. Bob wonders about the value of a RB and how today's player is asked to be far more versatile on the field. Even a good running back is facing a shorter shelf life in the NFL and most teams are contemplating value by a player's second contract with the team. Turning to the players, we look at Greg's evaluations of: Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker, Isaiah Spiller, James Cook, Tyler Allgeier, Rachaad White, Snoop Conner, Jerome Ford, Brian Robinson Jr., Kyren Williams, Dameon Pierce, and Zamir White.

Draft Season: Episode 4- Combine Conversations Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the ups and downs of the NFL Combine. Greg explains how a player's :40 time can add or subtract to a player's evaluation and is always over-valued when projecting future performance. Greg would like to see a few different analytics added to the QB evaluations including footballs throws that should or shouldn't have been thrown. Bob asks if Kyle Hamilton could be a unicorn in the draft and what teams are discussing when his name comes up. We finally have answers when it comes to Kenny Pickett's hand size and Greg takes us into the discussions teams are having over the QB. After attending so many Combines, Greg tells us the things that even surprised him over the last week.

Draft Season: Episode 3- Wide Receivers Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the expectations of Wide Receivers at the Combine. Some coaches would love to see helmets and pads added to running routes and for time. Greg says teams look for vertical receivers, which doesn't come from being fast. Players have been more athletic and explosive with so many training advances, but that may not always transfer to football. Teams are putting together offenses that use WR's in several different ways, so the position needs to be more versatile than ever. We evaluate Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Treylon Burks, Drake London, Chris Olave, George Pickens, Jahan Dotson, David Bell, Justyn Ross, and Khalil Shakir. Greg looks at the occasions when a Combine performance is disappointing and how teams can still see positives from a player. We wrap up with which NFL teams are in the market for these WR's.
