Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) welcome in special guest and former colleague Hayden Winks (@HaydenWinks) to get his take on some of the draft’s most fascinating prospects. The Underdog Football analyst opines on Brock Bowers and Bo Nix before getting his brain picked on Ja’Lynn Polk, Audric Estime and Blake Corum. Before departing, the group discusses A.D. Mitchell and his supposed “character concerns,” Malik Nabers’ fit with the Chargers and much, much more.

NFL Draft Stock Up/Down: Bo Nix, Ja’Lynn Polk, Blake Corum + others

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) inch closer to draft day with the latest on the Brock Bowers debate — how big of a concern is his lack of testing? — before again returning to Jayden Daniels and what an appropriate comparison may or may not be. Hint: It’s not Lamar Jackson. They then check in on the latest re-draft news, beginning with Tee Higgins’ belief he will remain in Cincinnati. They examine DeVonta Smith’s extension, Courtland Sutton’s odds of landing a new deal, Nick Chubb’s health, the Titans’ backfield and more. They end by previewing Denny’s upcoming article on quarterbacks and screen targets, including the potential fit of Bo Nix in Denver.

Brock Bowers’ “Bust” Potential, Tee Higgins + Courtland Sutton Outlook Before the Draft

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) go long on Kyle’s latest mock draft, beginning with his mocking of LSU’s Jayden Daniels to the Commanders at No. 2. They debate the likelihood of the first four picks all being quarterbacks, if J.J. McCarthy is as “safe” as the recent draft chatter would lead people to believe, and if Bo Nix might sneak into the top 10, specifically to Vegas. They also ponder if Marvin Harrison Jr. is still the consensus WR1 and if Brock Bowers will make it past the top 10. They end by discussing Denny’s recent article on what they hope is a more pass-happy Texans offense. Along the way, they sweat someone by the name of “Austin Eckroat” as Denny and Kyle commiserate about the Masters.

Kyle’s Mock Draft: Jayden Daniels concerns + Surprise QB in the Top-10

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) welcome in special guest Nate Tice (@Nate_Tice) to talk about some of the Athletic Football Show analyst’s favorite draft prospects. They begin with the case for Drake Maye and Spencer Rattler’s merits as a Day 2 pick. Next they dig into the receiver class, including the Washington trio of Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan. Is Polk or McMillan more likely to go first on Day 2? They also discuss Mr. Ladd McConkey and Jayden Daniels’ weight concerns. Pat and Denny end with a few final words on Eclipse 2024.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down the Stefon Diggs trade from every angle before diving into Pat’s annual NFL coach rankings. On Diggs, they ponder the new pecking order in Buffalo before wondering who the odd man out will be in Houston. Will Diggs or Nico Collins have the higher ADP? For coaches, they debate overrated and underrated leaders, going long on Sean McDermott, Doug Pederson, Mike McCarthy, Mike McDaniel, Jim Harbaugh and much more.
