Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.
They start with the NFL Draft Combine & discuss the behind the scenes wheeling & dealing nature of the coaches and executives at the combine, and John’s experience speaking with legendary Seahawks GM John Schneider and what the defending champs will do with Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker (3:00).
They move to the Chiefs and GM Brett Veach and the challenge of fixing the offensive line for Patrick Mahomes and discuss how much of a true “rebuild” the Chiefs need after missing the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era (5:45).
They debate whether there’s a market for Kyler Murray to have a second act and what teams may be interested (9:45), and what positions the Bears will look to solidify in the draft (13:30).
They pivot to the Eagles & discuss the rumors that Jalen Hurts isn’t particularly well liked in the locker room and John offers than despite noise on the outside… AJ Brown is very positively viewed by his teammates (24:00).
They look ahead to the draft and Colin argues that the Cardinals should offer 3 first round picks to move up from #3 to #1 to draft Fernando Mendoza and John says that based on the combine chatter… Mendoza is a lock to the Raiders at #1 (28:30).
They discuss why the made-for TV nature of the combine has made top prospects not want to participate and why the current combine process is probably on its last legs (34:30).
Finally, Colin asks John about the most tasty rumors he heard at the combine and John offers up that it’s 50/50 that Giants GM Joe Schoen survives beyond the draft with John Harbaugh now there, and the surprised reaction to Sean Payton giving up play calling duties in Denver (37:30).
