Draft Craft

Dan & JP were perhaps a bit ambitious with their latest update to their positional rankings ahead of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. The boys try to tackle (pun very much intended) three different - yet overlapping in many ways - position groups. Interior Defensive Line, Edge Rushers, and Linebackers. And there's a fair number of players that you could easily slot into a couple of different groups. Ready for each of them to roll through 75 plus players? It's an adventure for sure.

Defensive Line starts at - 27:07

Dan & JP revel in the post super bowl bliss of no KC three peat, and the best birthday present for JP's 2024 man crush, Cooper DeJean and his pick six last night. The boys also continue rolling through the position groups, focusing the whole show on the OL, and trying to figure out who's actually playing which positions!

JP & Dan continue their roll through the different position groups ahead of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. The boys are cataloging the average number of players at each group that have been drafted in the past 5 years, which means 14 TE's and a whopping 33 WR's! Strap in, it's going to get confusing. Oh, and apparently there's this Super Bowl thing happening tomorrow as well. Not that anyone cares.

WR's at - 29:54

Super Bowl at - 1:04:01

Dan & JP run it back with their post Senior Bowl/Shrine Bowl positional rankings, taking note of what's changed after some weigh ins, some more in-depth tape, and the all important eye test! With 11 QB's and 19 RB's drafted on average in the past five NFL drafts, they won't agree on everything!

It's back to back shows as Dan gets his turn to lay into JP's take on what he thinks will happen in the first round in April's 2025 NFL draft. Not as many crazy surprises as Dan's, but he'll still turn a head or two with some interesting takes

JP Talks some Shorts Superfluid

Dan shares his thoughts on Atwater's Cherry Porter

Dan & JP drop dueling first round mock drafts on the weekend before the Super Bowl, and proceed to make fun of each other's guesses as to what the NFL's GM's have on their minds a few months out from the 2025 NFL Draft. Let's just say Dan blows JP's mind with his first ten picks...

JP & Dan wrap up their early end of season takes with twelve packs at Linebacker, Cornerback and Safety, and you're not going to believe it, but there's some crossover between some of these players and positions.
