1. Do you expect to see many (if not most teams) use a lot more 12 personnel than we are used to seeing this season?

2. If a team is looking for a classic "move" tight end with a similar play-style to Travis Kelce, the guy they probably want is Utah's Dalton Kincaid, who is considered the best pure receiving tight end in this class. What makes him such a dangerous weapon in the passing game?

3. What do you see in Luke Musgrave's tape that suggests he can be an even better pro than Dalton Kincaid?

4. Despite his Combine numbers, do you see Michael Mayer as worthy of a top-40 pick...if not earlier?

5. Just how high of a ceiling do you think Darnell Washington has in the passing game? Would converting Darnell Washington to offensive tackle be a good idea in the event he does not reach his potential in the passing game?

6. Buy or Sell: Luke Schoonmaker, Tucker Kraft, Brenton Strange, Davis Allen, Sam LaPorta, Payne Durham

7. Is there a sleeper TE prospect in this class that you don't believe is getting the attention he deserves? If so, who is that prospect and why do you love him so much?

8. If you were a team in desperate need of offensive weaponry...would you be willing to spend a first-round pick on a tight end this year...or would you be content to wait until Day 2 even if the top-four are gone by then?

9. Team Fits

-Dalton Kincaid: Chiefs, Packers, Cowboys

-Luke Musgrave: Raiders

-Michael Mayer: Cowboys, Chiefs, Jaguars

-Darnell Washington: Bengals, Falcons, Jaguars, Texans, Titans

-Luke Schoonmaker: Any team in need of a TE2/TE3

-Tucker Kraft: Cowboys, Chiefs, Jaguars

-Sam LaPorta: Cowboys, Chiefs, Jaguars

1. When it comes to the wide receivers in the 2023 NFL Draft, it is a very underwhelming group. Not only is there no Ja'Marr Chase-level prospect among them, there isn't even a prospect you can safely say is on the level that Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were headed into last year's draft. However, if you take a deeper look into this class, one can argue that if you need a receiver who can fill a "niche role" in an offense such as taking the top off of a defense or a reliable "move the chains" target, this draft has some solid options. Wouldn't you say so?

2. As of right now, the top WR (and the ninth overall player) on your board is Quentin Johnston of TCU. While there's quite a bit to like about Johnston, two major red flags stick out to me. First, his propensity for drops and second, the hit rate of Big-12 WR's drafted in the first round is not good, as Daniel Jeremiah noted. Why do you think Johnston has a very good chance to buck this trend?

3. Do you think there are plenty of good reasons to think that a healthy Jaxon Smith-Njigba has the highest floor out of any WR in this draft?

4. Why do you have a better grade on Cedric Tillman than on his far more ballyhooed Tennessee teammate Jalin Hyatt?

5. You mentioned that you have a sleeper WR prospect on your mind that isn't getting the attention he deserves. Who is that prospect and why do you love him so much?

6. Buy or Sell: Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, Tyler Scott, Josh Downs, Marvin Mims, A.T. Perry, Tank Dell, Jonathan Mingo, Rashee Rice, Trey Palmer, Kayshon Boutte, Michael Wilson, Andre Iosivas, Jayden Reed, Puka Nucua

1. Did C.J. Stroud's Herculean performance against Georgia convince you that there is FAR more untapped potential with him?

2. Given what you see from him on tape, do you think Bryce Young has a very good chance to be successful for an even longer period of time than Russell Wilson?

3. The most common player comp I've heard for Bryce Young is somebody outside the football world...basketball star Steph Curry, who I think we can now say is the best pure shooter in NBA history. Are you a fan of that comp?

4. As of right now, who do you have ranked higher on your board and why: Young or Stroud?

5. Do you believe that Anthony Richardson has a very good shot to become the latest rare exception to the rule that says QB's with completion percentages substantially below 60 in college don't succeed in the NFL?

6. Do you think there's a good chance that whoever draft Will Levis will get the version of him that we saw in 2021? How fixable are his turnover issues?

7. If say the Seahawks, Raiders, and/or Falcons miss out on one of the top four QB's in the first round, would Hendon Hooker be a worthy investment for them in the second round?

8. Best Possible Team Fits

-C.J. Stroud: Panthers

-Bryce Young: Texans

-Anthony Richardson: Colts

-Will Levis: Jets, Ravens, Lions, Seahawks

-Hendon Hooker: Broncos, Saints

-Tanner McKee: Titans

1. Do you share the sentiment of Mel Kiper, et al that this is not a good draft class?

2. Based on the perceived aforementioned drop-off from Jalen Carter and Will Anderson to the rest of the class, do you think the Bears should only trade back to as far as #4 overall with the Colts? Do you think the best case scenario for the Bears is to initially trade back one spot with the Texans and then trade back again with Indy?

3. When looking at the 2023 draft class in general, which position groups would you say are the strongest and which would you say are the weakest?

4. Aside from the athletic traits and positional value, what makes Anthony Richardson worth an investment in the top half of Round 1?

5. Combine Predictions (Stock Up or Stock Down)

    -Devon Achane

    -Zach Harrison

    -Adetomiwa Adebawore

6. First-round mock draft with trades

1. Super Bowl LVII Reactions

    -Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: Chiefs are a dynasty in the making because a future HOF coach is paired with a future HOF QB, Hal: Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy deserves all the credit for "Corn Dog"...and a head coaching job soon)

    -GOAT of the Game (DKrom: Jalen Hurts, Hal: Brett Veach)

    -DUNCE of the Game (DKrom: Carl Cheffers, Hal: Eagles DL)

2. If Patrick Mahomes wins 2-3 more Super Bowls, do you think he'd have a powerful case to be considered as THE GOAT over Brady?

3. Coaching Carousel

    -Grading the Texans hire of DeMeco Ryans as head coach (DKrom: A+, Hal: A+)

    -Grading the Broncos hire of Sean Payton as head coach (DKrom: B-, Hal: C-)

    -Grading the Colts hire of Shane Steichen as head coach (DKrom: A, Hal: B-)

    -Grading the Cardinals hire of Jonathan Gannon as head coach (DKrom: B, Hal: B+)

    -Is Justin Herbert in for the best season of his career in 2023 with Kellen Moore as his OC?

    -Based on that stellar coaching staff Frank Reich has assembled in Carolina to go along with the young talent already there, are the Panthers a good early bet to win the NFC South in 2023?

    -Who is the best possible replacement for Jonathan Gannon as Eagles DC: Sean Desai, or Vance Joseph?

    -Who was the best coordinator hire so far this cycle: (DKrom: Steve Wilks as 49ers DC, Hal: Bill O'Brien as Patriots OC) 

4. Is it more prudent for the Ravens to slap the $45 million exclusive rights franchise tag on Lamar Jackson, or to give him the $32 million non-exclusive rights franchise tag, let another team make an offer, and then decide whether or not to match it?

5. Tag or No Tag

    -Geno Smith (Tag)

    -Daniel Jones (No Tag)

    -Tony Pollard (Tag)

    -Josh Jacobs (Tag)

    -Orlando Brown, Jr. (Tag)

    -Da'Ron Payne (Tag)

6. CHALLENGE FLAGS

-DKrom: Cal McNair...restrain yourself from meddling in football decisions. You may have the best HC/GM pair in Texans franchise history right now!!!

-Hal: Bears GM Ryan Poles...don't trade Justin Fields

NFL draft analyst/insider Tony Pauline of the Pro Football Network joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss who made some money during the week of practices down in Mobile, why the Bears being able to trade the #1 overall back is no sure thing, his thoughts on the Broncos hire of Sean Payton, and an interesting nugget on the Cardinals head coaching search 

Panthers beat reporter Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer joined me to discuss the rationale for the Panthers hiring Frank Reich over Steve Wilks for their head coaching job, some potential offensive coordinator candidates for Reich's staff, how far of a move up the board he sees the Panthers making in the first round, and the likelihood of a Brian Burns contract extension before the 2023 season

Bo Brack, who covers the Cardinals for PHNX Sports, joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss where the Cardinals head coaching search currently stands and where it's likely headed, his thoughts on the hiring of Monti Ossenfort as Cardinals GM, why trading DeAndre Hopkins makes sense, and a hypothetical scenario with the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft

Packers beat reporter Gery Woelfel joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss just how likely an Aaron Rodgers trade is, how he expects the Packers to further address their salary cap situation going forward and needs that need to be addressed this offseason 

Bills beat reporter Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss the team's offseason needs, whether or not he expects the Bills to use the franchise tag on LB Tremaine Edmunds, what a realistic recovery timetable for Von Miller looks like...and a lot more!!!
