Jon & Ollie discuss their Tier 1 organizations in the NFL, evaluating front offices on draft success, free agency, trades, synergy amongst staff, culture, era navigation, cap management & much more

Jon & Ollie offer their evaluations and insights on all 16 NFC draft classes, including a handful of disaster classes they didn't understand, and some usual suspects crushing the draft.

Jon & Ollie finally get to their linebacker evaluations for the 2025 NFL Draft, a bleak class that offers some real promise at the top of the class, but falls off a cliff after that.

Jihaad Campbell - There is a lot to like about Campbell’s game, but Jon and Ollie both believe the scheme will matter for a player who doesn’t quite have all the abilities to be a special one in the NFL, but could really help a team.

Carson Schwesinger - One of the oddest profiles in the draft, as Schwesinger came out of nowhere to be one of the top prospects at his position. But one weakness could derail his otherwise impressive skill set in the NFL.

Tyreem Powell - Even after a devastating injury, Ollie can’t quit Powell’s cerebral, ultra-physical game, while Jon is worried about the movement ability in the NFL

Jeff Bassa - Jon tries to make the case for Bassa as a late day 2 developmental prospect, but Ollie isn’t having it for a second

Chris Paul Jr - Jon mulls a position change for Paul, whose limitations are concerning in an NFL projection

Demetrius Knight - Stiff 25-year old linebackers with coverage and block deconstruction limitations aren’t hot on the market

Smael Mondon - Jon’s third-favorite linebacker on tape, but how much is the size a concern? Ollie makes a case for Mondon’s package value in the NFL

Plus Kain Medrano, Danny Stutsman, Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Shemar James and more

Jon & Ollie see the middle tiers of the cornerback class as talented, but flawed, with a few real sleepers worth considering over some of the bigger names on the board.

Trey Amos - How does Amos fit best in the NFL? Why did it take so long to see his well-developed skill set in a full-time role?

Azareye'h Thomas - Thomas's disappointing 40 has his stock falling some, but is that tumble deserved after looking at his tape?

Maxwell Hairston - Hairston's NFL fit may be more narrow than general analysis on him seems to understand

Darien Porter - The talent is clear and functional on tape, but the growth needed to actually hit would take a miraculous transformation

PLUS: Justin Walley, Jacob Parrish, Robert Longerbeam and other sleepers

Jon & Ollie kick off their 2025 NFL Draft coverage with Part 1 of their detailed look at the edge defender class, including how good Abdul Carter is, Jalon Walker controversy, Mike Green & more

Abdul Carter - There is one issue with Carter that isn’t being discussed enough, could it derail him in the pros? Why are his traits so coveted at this position? How good could he be in the NFL? Does he make sense for the Titans?

Jalon Walker - Why is small sample size scouting so frustrating? Is Walker clearly more edge defender or linebacker? How do his traits stack up with what matters at the position? Could he be an every-down edge in the NFL?

Mike Green - Was Mike Green Khalil Mack-level dominant in college? Where do the holes in his game exist? Should he be thought of as a top 15 player?

Donovan Ezeiruaku - Jon & Ollie really like Ezeriuaku, but have one concern the Combine can address. How does his length offset his mass concerns? Is there a deeper pass rush bag in this class?

J.T. Tuimoloau - Ollie is a big fan of the play demeanor and execution of Tuimoloau, while Jon has some concerns about the level of pass rush talent/skill he brings to the table.

Shemar Stewart - Ollie (and Jon) is really hesitant about Stewart’s NFL prospects due to his lack of football IQ, technique and mental processing. How many times does he not know what’s going on in games this season? But the traits…whew.
