Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

Dallas Cowboys weigh draft trade-back options—could volume win over a single star replacement? With Micah Parsons gone, Tony Wiggins and David Harrison debate whether Dallas should stockpile picks or aggressively target a game-changer like David Bailey or Reuben Bane. The conversation heats up over positional value, draft board tiers, and schemes, raising questions about duplicating Parsons’ impact and whether teams should chase “best player available” at any cost. The barbershop vibe gets real as strategy, risk, and the league’s obsession with edge rushers collide.

The analysis widens as the Los Angeles Rams eye Makai Lemon to revive their receiving corps, the New York Giants overhaul their coaching staff under John Harbaugh, and the Cincinnati Bengals consider bolstering Joe Burrow’s protection versus nabbing a top-tier edge. Cleveland Browns’ plans swirl with Jeremiah Love trade chatter. Engaging guest insights and sharp team-by-team takes make this a must-listen for NFL draft junkies and franchise rebuild trackers.

The New York Giants have a BIG problem on their hands as talented defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence has now demanded a trade due to contract issues. While this is a run-of-the-mill issue in the NFL, the timing is not great for a new Giants coaching staff with a lot of young players. This is not the tone the Giants want to set in the locker room. The Arizona Cardinals are a team getting their offseason going and the offense will have a lot to do with the trust factor for Mike LaFleur. That means sticking and picking their offensive lineman of choice at three is the right move. The Las Vegas Raiders also need to get off to a good start or their plan to go with Kirk Cousins will look even more silly than it does right now. Finally, the Cleveland Browns need offensive help for their offensive head coach, but going best player available might be the route they have to go if a trade down doesn't materialize. The Miami Dolphins might be a team that trades up with their mountain of draft capital.

Brown, Philadelphia Eagles’ draft strategy to replace receiver talent, and Washington Commanders' options at No. 7 overall with wideouts like Carnell Tate.

The Pittsburgh Steelers open organized team activities today and for a second straight year do not have a straight answer from Aaron Rodgers as to whether he will be playing football this year. It may be understood behind the scenes, but the message it sends to the rest of the team, especially with a new coach in Mike McCarthy, can be worrisome. The Steelers are just one of several teams with a new head coach who get to kick things off early. A swath of teams with young quarterbacks are getting things going and the New York Giants could see Jaxson Dart take a big leap if they hit the ground running. The Giants need to get going early though as the John Harbaugh hype has taken hold and there is a perception the roster is ready to win games right away. Dexter Lawrence is now requesting a trade showing things are off to a rocky start and Harbaugh will have to repair that relationship. Those three things make a fast start imperative, but that is also true for another team in the state. The Buffalo Bills made a big change at coach, installing Joe Brady as the head man after leading last year's offense, but it is change on the offensive side that a lot of people have been focusing on which puts a lot of pressure on the new leading man. In the AFC north, both the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens also have pressure to win early as they compete for a playoff spot. Finally, it won't go well for every new head coach and guys like Todd Monken with the Cleveland Browns and Mike LaFleur with the Arizona Cardinals could be on the hot seat by the end of year one.

The Los Angeles Rams star receiver, Puka Nacua, checked in to rehab recently after a long stretch of concerning behavior. Nacua is undoubtedly one of the most talented players in the NFL, but his pattern of troublesome decisions leaves the Rams in a tough spot that ultimately has to affect their draft strategy. The Kansas City Chiefs has their own troublemaking receiver in Rashee Rice, but he has gotten an all-clear from the NFL and will not be suspended any time soon for the recent incidents he has been involved in. The Las Vegas Raiders have a different kind of wide receiver problem that means no matter who plays quarterback will struggle. The Jacksonville Jaguars extended Travon Walker and it was the right decision, but they need more on the defensive line for them to take the next step as a team.

The Las Vegas Raiders made a big splash on Thursday morning, grabbing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. Signing Cousins wasn't the most interesting aspect of the move, it was the money Cousins was paid, indicating he will be the starting quarterback in 2026. That means that presumed #1 pick, Fernando Mendoza, will come off the bench. An irregular move for a top pick. The consensus second-ranked quarterback is Ty Simpson, but finding him a home early in the draft will not be easy. However, a slight drop could be the best thing for Simpson as he tries to find the best home. Finally, the Cleveland Browns have a quarterback issue of their own, but do not seem interested in solving it in 2026's draft. That would leave Shedeur Sanders entering year 2 and Deshaun Watson, back from the abyss. Head coach Todd Monken spoke recently and hinted that Sanders could be in the pole position.
