Draft Craft

JP & Dan decide its time, one week out from the 2026 NFL draft, to get their top 100 big boards sorted out. There's been some hilarious lists out there lately, so the boys had to bring some sanity to the ranks!

Dan agrees with JP on the Flying Buffalo StroopWafel Imperial stout from Griffin Claw...it has some good flavor...and is way too sweet for him. He also talks about a pair of brews from Broadleaf in Grand Rapids, the Vast Skies & Ripple Effect

JP is still on a bourbon kick, cracking the literal seal on a Moonrise Distillery small batch cask strength from Georgia. Good nosh from the northern corner of the state!

JP & Dan are back at it wading into the ever changing landscape of the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft with their second round mock! While the lads are doing their best to make this a predictive mock, they're letting their own flavor show through.

JP & Dan celebrate national beer day, and take a massive swipe at inhabiting the minds of the 32 GM's and teams that will be taking part in the 2026 NFL draft coming up in just a few short weeks. Watch as the boys throw out ideas on what they've been hearing, and sometimes what they just think is going to happen. That "gut feeling" so to speak. How close are their guesses?

JP & Dan shove their flags into the substrata as they shout from the proverbial rooftops about their favorite overlooked or underrated 2026 NFL draft prospects. Plus an almost equal number of, there's no other way to put it, busts! The boys finish out with their heads up draft, each one picking their starting lineups, with no small amount of chicanery involved.

JP sips on an Old Forester store pick from Big Ten party store, once again reminding us all that these one offs are a great choice!

Dan doubles up on Wax Wings at JP's behest, starting with the IPA Pulled into Nazareth, a spectacular nosh that's definitely of the hazy variety. And! A second brew that we'll touch on at the end

JP & Dan wrap up their run through all of their positional rankings with the big boys in the middle, the Centers, Guards and Defensive Lineman that will be clogging the trenches after the 2026 NFL Draft!

(03:31)-Centers

(14:30)-Guards

(30:19)-Beverage Break

JP flips over to the bourbon side of the tracks, expounding on the benefits of a store pick, this time a 1792 barrel proof. Where the juice is worth the hilariously hard to handle bottle

Dan sticks with beer, sipping on a Pigeon Hill brewing "Donut Stop Believing" Ale. A fun brew...but still an ale.

(36:05)-Defensive Tackles

JP & Dan move on to the big bois this round, taking aim at the Offensive Tackles & Edge Rushers with the 2026 NFL Draft one month away! Spoiler alert, they're MUCH higher on one of these groups than the other.

(02:35)-Offensive Tackle

(35:02)-Beverage Break

JP Talks about what might be his current favorite year-round beer, New Holland's Tangerine Space Machine. He also talks about a pair of beers from Wax Wings brewery in Kalamazoo. Dan counters with the Grand Armory Crop Duster Citra IPA thanks to a mixy sixy that the wife gave him for Christmas. That's right, it's warming up into IPA season!

(41:53)-Edge Rushers

Dan & JP move to the outside as they continue working through position groups ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft! Watch as the boys have some rather controversial takes and roll through two of the largest lists of players that they'll handle this year.

(04:21)-Wide Receivers

(38:25)-Beverage Break

The boys double up on the Baltic Porter from Founders, a limited release from "Kosmicki's Collection" that hits all the best porter notes, and none of the artificial ones. Definitely worth a try if you can snag one! JP also breaks down both the KBS caramel, and the right way to say "Detroit"

(45:10)-Cornerbacks

JP & Dan continue their almost final tour through all of the positional groups, focusing on the Running Backs and Linebackers this go around. Dan also recaps his day of "research" at Wicked Barley in Jacksonville, Florida

(40:06)-Beverage Break

JP & Dan do a beer dump, catching up on several of the one they've had recently, including the Oddside Carrot Cake, Pigeon Hill Salted Irish Creme Porter, and the Boulevard Irish Stout for JP, as well as his show beer, the 2026 Black Note Stout from Bells, which NEEDS to be added to the list.

Dan cracked open the Even More Irish Jesus from Evil Twin, and runs through the list of beers he drank while working and "researching" at Wicked Barley Brewing on the east side of Jacksonville. the double stout Geoffrey, a Milkshake IPA called Jeans in the Pool and the PB&J Bigley, to name a few.

(51:40)-Linebackers

With six weeks until the NFL Draft, JP & Dan start working through their almost final rankings for each position group based on how many players are usually drafted at each one. They start off big with some HOT takes on QB's, some mid takes on TE's, and finish up with JP's favorite group of this draft, the Safeties. The boys also go heads up on a beer, and make a few beer bets as well!

(02:43)-Quarterbacks

(32:44)-Tight Ends

(50:12)-Beverage Break

The boys are both drinking "I am NOT a Crookie" a snickerdoodle inspired brown ale from Presidential Brewing in Portage, giving a little nod to Richard Millhouse Nixon, and a tip of the cap to a fun brown beer.

(53:52)-Safeties

JP & Dan haven't quite recovered from the wild Maxx Crosby non-trade, so what's the one thing that can cheer them up and get them back on track? It's a mock draft! Each of the 32 teams in the NFL have made choices this week that may have clarified, or further muddied the waters for their likely first round pick come April. What do the boys think will happen? let's get into it!

Dan ventures across the pond for his beer on this show, the Samuel Smith Stout. It is unsurprisingly a great classic entry for the style. They've been doing it for hundreds of years...why mess with what works?!
