April 21, 2022 — Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 224 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan continue their 2022 NFL Mock Draft live on the podcast, picking back up with picks No. 17-24. Unlike the first 16 picks which were dominated by offensive linemen and defensive players, skill position players led the way in this episode. Four receivers go off the board from picks 17 through 21, including Jameson Williams to the Chargers to create one of the best receiving trios in the league for Justin Herbert. That slew of pass catchers going in quick succession leads to a surprising pick for the Packers, with Green Bay hoping one of two other receivers left is still there for their next pick at No. 28. Another highlight is the Pittsburgh Steelers taking who they hope will be their long-term replacement for Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback.

April 19, 2022 — Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 223 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan continue their 2022 NFL Mock Draft live on the podcast, picking back up with picks No. 9-16. With Malik Willis off the board, the Seahawks stay put at No. 9 and select pass rusher Jermaine Johnson II to pair up with Darrell Taylor as a potential dangerous duo. From there, the draft's top two cornerbacks come off the board, including Ahmad Sauce Gardner to a team trading up to No. 11 to make sure they land their guy. The Commanders didn't move back far, quickly selecting Drake London as another big weapon for Carson Wentz. The defensive theme of this mock draft continued until pick No. 16, where the Saints drafted a potential future stalwart who they hope can fill Terron Armstead's shoes immediately.

March 31, 2022 — Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 221 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan predict the ultimate landing spots for arguably the two biggest quarterback dominos yet to fall in the 2022 NFL offseason: Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo. Can the Browns recoup anything other than a late-round pick for the former No. 1 overall pick? Will the Seahawks or Panthers pull the trigger on Mayfield, or will they conclude he isn't a big enough upgrade to justify the draft capital they'd have to give up? Is there a chance the 49ers hold onto Garoppolo, waiting it out in case a better trade package comes during the season? Has the QB market dried up to the point that either Mayfield or Garoppolo will actually be released instead of traded? Then, they wrap up by discussing the Dolphins' plan to use Tyreek Hill in the Deebo Samuel role within Mike McDaniel's offense, and why the pressure is squarely on Tua Tagovailoa to produce this year.

They review how the Chiefs proceed from here, whether they'll target another pass-catcher in free agency or the draft, what the trade says about the organization's trust in Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, the risk of paying big money for players that strong organizations are fine parting ways with, the evolution of the Dolphins' offensive roster, how Mike McDaniel can use his scheme and new tools to unlock the best of Tua Tagovailoa, Miami's next move if Tua doesn't perform at a high level in 2022, and much more.

March 15, 2022 — Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 218 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan discuss the slew of signings at the beginning of the legal tampering period for 2022 NFL free agency, which were drastically impacted by Tom Brady's decision to come out of retirement and return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They review Ryan Jensen returning to the Bucs after Brady's decision, the Pittsburgh Steelers settling on Mitchell Trubisky as their Ben Roethlisberger replacement, the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, and Jacksonville Jaguars spending big to protect their young franchise quarterbacks, possible Deshaun Watson trade destinations (could his interest in the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers fade with Brady back in the division), and Jimmy Garoppolo's likely landing spot with Pittsburgh off the QB market.

Then, they turn their attention to the next big QB domino to fall in this year's carousel. Will the Indianapolis Colts target Jimmy Garoppolo, or will they set their sights elsewhere? With some clarity on Deshaun Watson's legal situation expected to come Friday, could the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles take a swing at the former Pro Bowler?

March 8, 2022 — Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 216 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan once again discuss the NFL QB carousel with 2022 free agency a week away, breaking down how Aaron Rodgers' decision about his future will ultimately have a trickle-down effect on where other quarterbacks on the open market and in the upcoming NFL Draft end up. Do the Denver Broncos or the less likely Tennessee Titans give Rodgers a better chance at competing for a Super Bowl than the Packers, or will the QB ultimately determine that Green Bay gives him the best chance at winning another ring? Will the Cleveland Browns regret sticking with Baker Mayfield another year rather than looking at alternative options? Is there still a chance Russell Wilson is traded? Will the Washington Commanders be the first team to select a quarterback at No. 11 overall, possibly teaming that pick up with a veteran signal-caller from the free-agent market? Where will Jimmy Garoppolo and Mitchell Trubisky end up? All of those questions are addressed in detail.
