When are we going to get a Lenny & Cookie collab? Can I produce/edit that podcast instead? Well, I suppose I should stop being barking mad and tell you about today's show with ESPN's NFL analyst, Mina Kimes. Titular host of the 'Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny' and Andy navigate the NFL draft's most talked-about headlines, including who will pick Kyle Pitts (5:15); is Mac Jones destined for San Francisco (6:30); is Jones' evaluation similar to Herbert/Allen who were slept on in their respective drafts (11:15); is Justin Fields to Atlanta a dream scenario for both parties (15:15); sample size and Zach Wilson, and questionable quarterback narratives (19:30). Mina and Andy also discuss where Penei Sewell will go, Trevor Lawrence's wedding registry (and his recent comments), and the duo deliver their favorite players in the draft (26:00).

Scott Dochterman ranks the 40 coaching hires in the Big Ten since 1999. The conference today has been shaped by these decisions over the last 22 years. Former great Wisconsin Head Coach Barry Alvarez announced his retirement as Badgers AD this week. He made three of the hires: Paul Chryst, Bret Bielema and Gary Anderson. Urban Meyer shaped the conference when he became the Head Coach of Ohio State.
