Sports Krunch w/DKROM

Hello again everybody, and welcome back to http://SportsKrunch.com/ with DKrom, I’m your host David Kromelow.

The NFL is still in the midst of its annual summer slumber, but it’s hard to believe we are officially less than one month away from the start of 2017 NFL training camps. In that spirit, we continue our 2017 NFL team preview series today with a look at the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are a lesson why NFL stands for “not for long.” In 2013, after blowing out the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, there was talk of a potential dynasty brewing in Seattle. But after that ill-timed pass at the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX, the Seahawks have spiraled downward and now find themselves at a crossroads. So where do the Seahawks go in 2017 and beyond? Joining us today to give us the answer to that question is one of the few people who actually can. He is Seattle Times Seahawks beat writer Bob Condotta, and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back to the program.

Hello again everybody, and welcome back to http://SportsKrunch.com/ with DKrom, I’m your host David Kromelow.

Well, July is almost here and that means it is almost that time again folks. If you want to dominate your fantasy football leagues in 2017, the time to start studying is now, and we here at Sports Krunch intend to help you get the upper edge on the competition with our annual Fantasy Football Preview series.

We begin that series today with a look at arguably the most important position in the fantasy game, running back. It is a proven fact that the deeper you are at running back, the greater your odds are of taking home the league championship. And to help us break down the 2017 fantasy football RB landscape, it is a pleasure to have on the show for the very first time, one of the best fantasy football analysts out there, Ari Ingel. Ari writes for the renown fantasy football website footballguys.com, hosts his own podcast “The Zig Zag Fantasy Podcast” and is a member of the

Welcome back to http://SportsKrunch.com/ with DKrom, I’m your host David Kromelow.

Well, 2017 OTA’s and minicamps are in the books and the NFL has officially begun its annual six-week summer slumber until training camp. However, we here at Sports Krunch with DKrom prefer to keep the train rolling with a lot of great content for you until the first team's report for camp. And speaking of teams, tonight we begin our series of individual 2017 team previews. Please note that will try to break down the 2017 prospects of as many teams as we possibly can, but if we do not feature your favorite team, we ask that you do not take any offense given the limited time we have for broadcasting each week and the wide variety of content we intend to put out there. And without further ado, let’s take a look on what’s on the horizon for the Denver Broncos in 2017 and beyond with a great friend of the show, Jake Marsing of 5280 Sports Network.

Well, the month of May is coming to an end, which means the third and final phase of NFL OTA’s has about three more weeks until the league’s annual summer recess. It is right now that rookies are making their first impressions to their coaches and personnel execs.

But often, the early spin (usually positive) turns out to be disproven. And that’s why we do our draft recap series on Sports Krunch with DKrom, to give you the most accurate picture possible on a team’s draft class.

We continue that series today with a look at the draft classes of the NFC East.

To help us break down the draft picks of the Eagles, Redskins, Giants and Cowboys, it is a pleasure to welcome Emory Hunt to the program for the very first time. Emory is one of THE best draft minds out there. He runs the website footballgameplan.com, a fantastic NFL draft resource that gives you one of the most unique, in-depth looks into over 500 prospects each year.

The third and final phase of NFL OTA’s have commenced.

As we speak, all 32 teams are putting in the remaining on-field work until the league’s annual six-week summer break.

During this time, coaches and players often rave about their rookies to the press…but often, those claims eventually get disproven when the games begin.

We here at Sports Krunch with DKrom enforce our “No Spin” policy 24/7/365, and do our absolute best to help all of you football fans cut through the spin and get to the truth. Today, we are going to get all the truth we can on the 2017 draft classes of the NFC South, the fifth edition of our draft recap series.

And to help us is an extraordinary pleasure to have Charles McDonald back on the program. For those of you that don’t know him, Charles is a world class football analyst that contributes to Bleacher Report, thefalcoholic.com, and is the co-host of the podcast “Setting the Edge”, which I HIGHLY encourage you to check out.

1. What does Mike Williams bring to the Chargers receiving corps that they have been lacking in recent years??

2. How do you see the Chargers interior OL shaping out this year? Does Matt Slauson stay at center with Forrest Lamp and Dan Feeney pla

As we speak, NFL teams are preparing for the third and final phase of OTA’s, which will give them their first good look at their rookie classes. Thus we here at Sports Krunch with DKrom continue our division-by-division breakdown of every club’s 2017 draft class tonight with the AFC South. Joining us to analyze the drafts of the Jaguars, Titans, Colts and Texans is our good friend Jake Arthur of profootballspot.com. Jake’s Twitter handle: @jakearthurpfs

1. For the second straight season, a RB was drafted with the fourth overall pick as the Jaguars went with Leonard Fournette. What kind of season do the Jaguars need from Fournette in order to contend for the playoffs? Does he need to be as good or better than Ezekiel Elliott was last year?

2. Can Cam Robinson be the Jaguars left tackle of the future or do you see him as more of a right tackle or guard?

Hello again everybody, and welcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom, I’m your host David Kromelow. At this very minute, rookies (both drafted and undrafted) on numerous teams around the NFL are filing in to rookie minicamp where they begin to make their case for a job. As they do so, we shall continue our division-by-division recap of the draft classes of all 32 teams and discuss what these rookies bring to the table. Today, we look at the NFC North. And to help us break down the draft classes of the Bears, Vikings, Lions and Packers is our good friend Aaron Leming of bearreport.com.

The Bears made the first of many surprising moves in the draft by trading up from 3 overall to 2 overall to select QB Mitchell Trubisky from North Carolina. Initially, the Bears got ridiculed for the price they paid, but it turns out it wasn’t as high as the capital previous teams have surrendered to move from 3 to 2. However, criticism remains. Multiple reports su

Hello again everybody, and welcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom, I’m your host David Kromelow. We are back after a deserved week off because I personally needed some rest after that WILD roller coaster ride that was the 2017 NFL Draft. And now it is time to recap the draft classes of all 32 teams division-by-division and assess the potential they bring going forward. We start tonight with the AFC North, where we saw some of this year’s best drafts at least on paper in my opinion. And to help us break down the draft classes of the Browns, Bengals, Ravens, and Steelers is our good friend Pete Smith of draftbreakdown.com and NFLSpinZone.com.

1. The Browns drafted Jabrill Peppers, apparently, to play a hybrid S/LB role. However, others such as former NFL front office executive Michael Lombardi prefer him at RB. At which position would you like to see the Browns utilize Peppers the most?

2. The Browns were super loaded with ammo, that they were ab

Hello again everybody, and welcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom, I’m your host David Kromelow.

Well, Spring Football Christmas is upon us!! By the time you hear this, we will be slightly over 24 hours away from the 2017 NFL Draft. This past month or so, we here at Sports Krunch have broken down every group of prospects by position for you, and now all 32 teams have their big boards set for what promises to be one of the wildest, most unpredictable drafts in recent memory.

And to get you ready for the wild ride, we’re going to do a simulated mock draft. What that means is that this mock will try to give you an idea what goes on in every war room when a club is on the clock. Scouts, personnel directors and coaches lobby the owner and GM to draft somebody by ‘pounding the table’ and the owner and GM have the power to accept or reject those demands. In this mock, I will be playing the role of the scouts and coaches, and our good friend Shelby Dermer will play the role of the owner
