Ready for the Draft Podcast

Part 2 of my two-day NFL Mock Draft starts with Cincinnati and ends in Philly as I take a look at what each team during the back half of the 1st Round may do with their picks in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.

I break down my latest Mock Draft with the first 16 picks of the NFL Draft.  However, I don't stop there as I continue to take a look at what I think those teams might do over the first two days of the draft.  We'll start with Tennessee and end with Arizona.

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up with the OL on Day 4.  Top OTs Will Campbell, Armand Membou and Kelvin Banks Jr. all worked out and showcased why they'll all be taken in the first half of Round 1 while Grey Zabel continued to impress with his five-position versatility.

Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine allowed us to take a look at the QBs RBs and WRs.  At the QB position, Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders didn't work out, but that allowed us to see how the likes of Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe, Will Howard, Dillon Gabriel and Kyle McCord fared.  At the RB position, it looks like Omarion Hampton solidified his status as the draft's No. 2 RB.  And at WR, Matthew Golden's 4.29 40 cemented himself atop the WR group.

Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is in the books and we take a look at how the CBs, safeties and TEs fared.  Nick Emmanwori put on a show at the Combine, all but solidifying his draft status in the top 32 picks, while Malaki Starks wasn't as impressive in the testing area but was silky smooth in the drills.  Maxwell Hairston blazed a trail with a 4.28 40 which sends his draft stock toward Round 1.  At the TE position, Terrance Ferguson stood out in the 40, but it's clear we have several TEs who could be starters at the next level.

Day One of the NFL Draft Combine is in the books and it's time to take a look at who stood out.  Edge rushers James Pearce Jr. and Shemar Stewart put on a show while DT Derrick Harmon solidified his status as a 1st Round prospect and LB Jihaad Campbell stole the show among LBs.

The pre-draft process is now in full swing and it's time for the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL.  Jim Nagy and his team did a tremendous job bringing in some of the best draft prospects for the week.  It's time to talk through who made the biggest impact.

The 2025 NFL Draft has 72 underclassmen who officially declared for the NFL Draft.  We take a look at each player one-by-one and break down their early projections for the NFL Draft.

Episode 14 gives a glimpse into the performances of Penn State and Texas in the CFP Semifinals.  The Nittany Lions ultimately go down to Notre Dame.  What impact did top draft prospect Abdul Carter have?  And Texas went down to Ohio State.  We take a look at the likes of Quinn Ewers, Matthew Golden, Kelvin Banks Jr. and how they performed against the Buckeyes.

Episode 13 reviews the draft-eligible prospects of the losing teams in the CFP Quarterfinals - Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Arizona State.  Oregon ran into a buzzsaw that was Ohio State.  How did Dillon Gabriel, Josh Conerly Jr. and Derrick Harmon fare?  Georgia was upset by Notre Dame.  Were Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams impact players?  Penn State effectively shut down Ashton Jeanty who still managed to rush for 103 yards.  Did that affect his draft stock at all?  And Cam Skattebo put on a performance for the ages by nearly single-handedly taking down the Texas Longhorns.
