(1:32:20)-The Best Picks by Round All Time

JP & Dan undertake one of their more ambitious projects, that they totally thought would be a piece of cake. They were wrong. The boys decided to jump back in time and look at each of the current NFL franchises' draft history, finding the best draft pick in each round since the advent of the seven round draft back in 1994. They also tacked on a "best of" section for each team for players drafted before that year. It was more work than they anticipated! Each team is time stamped below if you don't want to be as insane as these guys and actually listen to the whole thing.

(04:46)-Cincinatti Bengals

(09:13)-Cleveland Browns

(12:43)-Pittsburgh Steelers

(18:34)-Baltimore Ravens

(22:23)-Tennessee Titans

(26:28)-Indianapolis Colts

(35:05)-Beverage Break

JP walks through his latest Bourbon Boogie, testing out Ben Holiday Rickhouse, Still Austin Cask Strength Binny's Store Pick, Whiskey War Double Oaked from Ohio, and Smokeye Hill's Barrel Proof - This one was four awesome pours!

Dan is far less ambitious, drinking a Boulevard Brewing Wood Baron Barrel-Fresh Ale. Sneaky good!

(41:30)-New England Patriots

(45:37)-New York Jets

(47:35)-Miami Dolphins

(52:06)-Buffalo Bills

(54:07)-Las Vegas Raiders

(1:01:23)-Kansas City Chiefs

(1:05:22)-Denver Broncos

(1:08:25)-Los Angeles Chargers

JP & Dan finish their three year checkup on all of the NFL teams' 2022 Draft classes with some rather sobering assessments of where some teams are versus where they thought they would be. But one thing is for certain, the Detroit Lions were on a roll back then!

(01:25)-NFC South

(20:44)-Beverage Break

JP gives his final take on the Oddside Bean Flicker Banana Nut Blonde Ale

Dan stays with Oddside from Grand Haven, Mi, though his is the Peach Smash Strong Ale, leading to a good conversation about the differences between Scotch Ales & Strong Ales

(26:33)-NFC North

Dan & JP flip over to the NFC to look at a pair of divisions and how these clubs are faring three years out from the 2022 NFL draft. How far off were the boys from their earlier grades? Which picks have been spot on, and which haven't aged well?

(01:02)-NFC West

(23:30)-Beverage Break

JP recaps a small distillery bourbon boogie between Middle West's Pumpernickel Rye, 13th Colony's straight Bourbon, Rocktown's Single Barrel Cask Strength, and the Firefly straight Bourbon

Dan is way less complicated, talking about the Petoskey Brewing S'more Dark Lager, a smoother version of the chunky stout JP keeps bringing up

(30:53)-NFC East

JP & Dan are continuing their tour through the AFC, auditing every team in the conference to see what they managed to get out of their 2022 draft class. Can any of them match up against the best of the rest?

(01:44)-AFC East

(20:37)-Beverage Break

JP discusses the Oddside Bean Flicker Banana Nut Blonde Coffee Ale

Dan shares his thoughts on the Non-Alcoholic Corona, and a wild adventure with a martini over the weekend

(29:33)-AFC West

JP & Dan are taking a look at what happened three years ago as the boys do a status report on each NFL team's hit and miss rate from the 2022 NFL Draft. Let's just say they may have been too generous with the grades the first time around. They tackle the AFC North and South in this one, and one team stands above the rest.

(03:10)-AFC North

(26:37)-Beverage Break

JP sips on his old standby, the "humalupalicious" Double IPA by Shorts, and gives his breakdown on just about all of the Long Drink varieties

Dan has a unique experience with the Austin Brothers Beer Co "IPA is my Passion" a sour New England IPA that definitely caught him off guard on the first sips

(31:46)-AFC South

Dan & JP continue their exercises in ridiculousness by following the greater trend of redrafting rookies way too soon. Who goes #1? Is it still Caleb Williams? Jayden Daniels? Is Bo Nix still a Bronco? The boys give their best perspectives, while also reminding everyone, it really takes 3 years to understand where a draft class ends up.

(25:46)-Beverage Break

JP suffers through a Pineapple flavored Long Drink Zero...which isn't nearly as bad as he makes it out to be

Dan counters with a rather delightful Dogfish Head Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale that JP wishes he had in his hands

(31:23)-Second Half

JP & Dan jump into the ludicrous world of 2026 mock drafts with their own take, not only on who they're projecting to go in the first round next April, but also the draft order. Look away Saints & Titans fans!

(28:54)-Beverage Break

Dan & JP both cracked open Old Nation's M-43 Tart Strawberry, a harbinger of warmer weather in Michigan. This beer gets plenty of local love around the state capital, but what did the boys think?

(33:27)-Second half of the Draft

JP & Dan have taken a few days to collect their thoughts after a Beer & Bourbon (and Rye!) Filled draft weekend, and the boys are ready to share their 2025 NFL Draft team grades with each other, and the world! You're not gonna believe this, but they don't agree on everything. Which team does Dan have atop the list, that didn't even crack JP's top 20?! Where did your favorite fit in, and can their Packer bias be set aside for just one draft?

(03:00)-Dan's Grades

(32:33)-Beverage Break

JP sips on the Loblolly Double IPA from Georgia Brewing that Dan left with him, and is severely annoyed it didn't make an appearance on draft weekend

Dan enjoys a KBS Hazelnut Fudge stout from Founders...till he gets that coffee note he should have known was coming

(36:45)-JP's Picks

Dan & JP reconvene just as day three gets started for the 2025 NFL draft, with their takes on each team's draft classes so far, and what to look forward to as the final day of the draft gets ready to launch!

(22:36)-Beverage Break

JP & Dan talk about the Xul beers that they had from the brewery in Knoxville, alongside a handful of ryes & bourbons that they dove into once the 3rd round wrapped up

(25:41)-NFC Teams
