3 & Out - Still shocked by Atlanta, Draft Grades, Tangent Tuesday


Colin is joined by John MIddlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft!

They start with the Cowboys seeming to deliberately not load up on weapons in Dak Prescott’s contract year (3:30) and why the Bears won the offseason (7:30) They rate the Bears chances in a stacked NFC North (11:00) and Colin explains why the Raiders could be set up perfectly to draft a quarterback NEXT year (14:00)
They dissect the drama in Atlanta and why the Kirk Cousins/Michael Penix situation could get awkward fast (19:15), and rate Jim Harbaugh’s draft as “substance” rather than flash (27:00)
They predict the first and last place finishers for every NFL division (33:15) and rate the Titans draft as the weirdest (37:15).
Piggybacking on the Titans talk, they go behind the scenes into why so many NFL organizations are dysfunctional, and reveal the best run team in the league (44:00).
Finally, they each pick their biggest whiff on a take from the past couple of years (01:05:00), debate whether the Sixers are a “failed experiment” (01:10:00) and explain why bad business decisions have made Kevin Durant irrelevant in the NBA (01:15:00).
