Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Do you believe there were enough examples on Cam Ward's college tape that prove he's capable of making the on-schedule plays he'll need to make in order become a more consistent, steady player?

2. Do you think there's a higher ceiling with Shedeur Sanders and if so, why?

3. Do you think the hype on Jaxson Dart is at least somewhat warranted, and if not, can you play Devil's Advocate as to why an NFL team would be willing to invest a mid-to-late first-round pick on him?

4. Do you see similarities between Jalen Milroe and Jalen Hurts in terms of play-style, character and work ethic, and can you see Milroe evolving into a similar player at the NFL level in the right situation? Also, some NFL evaluators reportedly believe that if Milroe fails at QB, he can be tried out at RB. Do you think he's capable of being at least a very solid RB at the NFL level?

5. Fans of NFL teams that are unlikely to head into the 2026 season with a surefire long-term answer at QB will immediately be looking toward the college QB's who become draft eligible next year. Thus, Bill, I'm going to ask you to give us your way-too-early assessment on the 2026 QB class. Who are some names to keep an eye on come late August and do you think it'll be a much better group of signal-callers compared to this year?

6. Buy Or Sell (If you believe they can become a top 10-15 backup QB, count it as a 'buy')

-Tyler Shough, Quinn Ewers, Will Howard, Riley Leonard, Dillon Gabriel, Kyle McCord

7. Ideal (Realistic) Landing Spots For...

-Cam Ward: Titans

-Shedeur Sanders: Raiders

-Jaxson Dart: Seahawks

-Jalen Milroe: Broncos

-Tyler Shough: Chargers

-Quinn Ewers: Commanders or Falcons

1. What do you think the basic characteristics are that Ben Johnson covets in a player, and how does a Chicago Bear under Ben Johnson differ from a Chicago Bear under Matt Eberflus?

2. Do you get the feeling that the Packers will draft a WR in the first round for the first time since they selected Javon Walker at 20 overall in 2002?

3. If you're the Vikings, which of the three aforementioned positions (DT, DB, or iOL) would you prioritize the most at 24 in the event you can't find a trading partner?

4. If a certain interior offensive lineman or pass rusher that the Lions deem a hand-in-glove fit falls to the early 20's, can you see Brad Holmes make a proactive move up the board like he did last year?

1. Do you think Will Campbell's best role at the NFL level is at tackle or at guard?

2. What are your biggest concerns about Armand Membou's game at the moment and would you be surprised if he eventually ends up as the best OL from this class?

3. Do you think Kelvin Banks, Jr. will mostly benefit a team as a run blocker or as a pass protector during his rookie season?

4. If you're a team picking in the top-20 with a huge need at left tackle and you deem that medical information to be accurate, is Josh Simmons worth taking there?

5. Do you think Donovan Jackson will be better at guard or tackle in the NFL?

6. Is Tyler Booker's extreme lack of athleticism enough to scare you away from him, or is he still a prospect with an extremely high floor who's worthy of a top-40 selection, if not higher?

7. As Dane Brugler noted in November, many around the league (if not most) would say Grey Zabel's best possible fit is at center. What makes Grey Zabel well-equipped to be the proverbial QB of an NFL offensive line?

8. Buy Or Sell

-Josh Conerly, Jr., Aireontae Ersery, Ozzy Trapilo, Charles Grant, Cameron Williams, Emery Jones, Jr., Logan Brown, Jonah Savaiinaea, Wyatt Milum, Marcus Mbow, Tate Ratledge, Miles Frazier, Jackson Slater, Willie Lampkin, Jared Wilson

1. Eric Edholm of NFL.com, one of the most respected minds in the business, said last week he would be all for the Panthers using six or seven of their nine draft picks on the defensive side of the ball. Would you be in favor of that strategy, or do you think the Panthers should spend considerably more draft picks upgrading the offensive weaponry for Bryce Young?

2. If you're Mickey Loomis and Kellen Moore, is your top priority putting a big "For Sale" sign on that 9th overall pick, even though you have five picks in the top-112?

3. Would it surprise you if the Falcons decide to further strengthen their secondary in Round 1 by taking say Will Johnson or Nick Emmanwori should one or both be available at 15?

4. Even with his recent medical setback, how surprised would you be if the Bucs passed on Jihaad Campbell if he was still available at 19 overall?

1. A reason why some are down on this draft class overall is that only four-to-six players fit the mold of a consensus "blue chip" prospect. In your view, is Warren one of those four-to-six players and is he worthy of being selected in the top-seven despite the extremely low hit rate on first-round TE's?

2. According to football data guru Warren Sharp, Colston Loveland only caught two of 10 contested targets, only forced three missed tackles (5% missed tackle rate, lowest in class), and ran just 13% of his routes against man coverage, which he'll see far more often in the NFL. Granted, he did have subpar QB play and was playing through injury last season. Of those aforementioned data points that Warren raised, which one worries you the most and why?

3. Assuming Mason Taylor makes the requisite improvements in his route running, do you think he eventually becomes that “Joker” weapon for an NFL offense?

4. Given what you do know about Elijah Arroyo's medical history, would it surprise you if he falls all the way to Day 3?

5. Does Terrance Ferguson scream "quintessential workout warrior to avoid at all costs" to you, or do you think there's a far better player at the NFL level waiting inside of him?

6. Do you think Gunnar Helm is a far better athlete on tape compared to what his Combine numbers suggest, and should he fall to Day 3, do you think whichever team selects him will have a potential steal on their hands?

7. Buy Or Sell

-Harold Fannin, Jr., Mitchell Evans, Thomas Fidone II, Jackson Hawes, Jake Briningstool, Moliki Matavao, Oronde Gadsden II, C.J. Dippre, Jalin Conyers

1. If Travis Hunter is available for the Patriots at 4, would you take him or Armand Membou?

2. Do you think Tyler Warren fits the mold of such a player that can define the Jets culture under Aaron Glenn?

3. Do you anticipate the Dolphins using their first-round pick at 13 addressing one of those two positions (interior OL or safety), or can you easily see them going in another direction?

4. Given the enormous depth of this DL class and the Bills having three picks in the top-62, would it be wise for Buffalo to use two of those picks to further beef up their defensive front four?

1. If you were Titans GM Mike Borgonzi, would you stay put and take Miami QB Cam Ward, or would you trade down with either the Browns at 2 or with the Giants at 3, which would net you additional premium draft picks both this year and next year and assure you either Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter?

2. As much as it would make sense for the Jags to take Mason Graham at 5, there may be another name or two that would make equally as much sense there. Do any such names come to mind in your view?

3. Given how desperate Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard are to keep their jobs, would it surprise you if they traded up with say the Bears at 10 in order to assure themselves Warren or Loveland?

4. Would it shock you if the Texans pick at 25 is anything other than an offensive lineman or a wide receiver?

5. Titans three-round mock

6. Jaguars three-round mock

7. Colts three-round mock

8. Texans three-round mock

1. Do you believe there's still some untapped upside with Ashton Jeanty as a receiving weapon out of the backfield?

2. Do you think Omarion Hampton is a special talent worthy of a top-20 selection?

3. If you were the GM of a team that needed ANY kind of RB, and you were forced to choose between Treveyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, who would be your pick and why?

4. Do you believe Kaleb Johnson has the requisite fundamentals of playing RB (most notably vision and footwork) to succeed at the NFL level despite his lack of explosiveness?

5. Do you think Dylan Sampson has the goods to play on all three downs at the NFL level?

6. Do you think Cam Skattebo deserves to be selected in Rounds 2-3, and if he doesn't hear his name called on Day 2, would you expect him to outplay his draft position?

7. Buy Or Sell

-Bhayshul Tuten, Damien Martinez, Jordan James, Ollie Gordon II, Devin Neal, R.J. Harvey, D.J. Giddens, Trevor Etienne, Jarquez Hunter, Jaydon Blue, Brashard Smith, LeQuint Allen, Kalel Mullings, Donovan Edwards, Marcus Yarns

1. What aspects of Abdul Carter's game that you saw on tape make him such an impact player from the moment he plays his first NFL snap?

2. When you put all of the aforementioned puzzle pieces together, do you think Shemar Stewart is someone worthy of rolling the dice on in the top-15 picks, or even the top-10?

3. Can you see Mykel Williams developing into a similar force as Travon Walker at the NFL level, and is HE worth a roll of the dice as a top-10/top-15 pick?

4. If you had to make a guess, which one of these two pass rushers (Mike Green or James Pearce, Jr.) do you believe gets drafted first and why?

5. Given his Combine performance, production and game film, plus the negative character buzz surrounding Mike Green and James Pearce, Jr., do you think Donovan Ezeiruaku is worth taking in the latter half of the first round?

6. In your view, is Mason Graham a top 4-6 prospect in this draft regardless of position?

7. Do you think his habit of playing high is a correctable flaw and can you see Kenneth Grant becoming an every-down presence at the NFL level?

8. What makes Walter Nolen such a special player and would you be surprised if he ends up as the best DT from this draft when all is set and done?

9. Did you get a chance to revisit some of Derrick Harmon's tape after the Combine and do you think his ceiling may be even higher than you and others may have initially thought?

10. Do you think Darius Alexander is well worth taking a chance on within the first two rounds?

11. Buy Or Sell

-Nic Scourton, J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Landon Jackson, Josaiah Stewart, Princely Umanmielen, Jordan Burch, Femi Oladejo, Tyleik Williams, Joshua Farmer, Shemar Turner, Alfred Collins, T.J. Sanders, Omarr Norman-Lott, Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips, Jamaree Caldwell

1. Is the way the Commanders utilize Frankie Luvu the best way to get the most out of Jalon Walker?

2. Can Jihaad Campbell be a Micah Parsons-type weapon* for an NFL defense, and do you think he's worth a top-15 pick or higher?

3. Are you concerned Carson Schwesinger will lose a significant amount of that speed with the 18 pounds he added? Keep in mind, even losing a tenth of a second of your speed is a big deal in the NFL.

4. Given his age (25) plus the mixed reviews from evaluators as to whether or not he can hold up on all three downs, can you see Demetrius Knight, Jr. falling to Day 3?

5. Do you see Danny Stutsman making a similar impact as Chad Greenway did at the NFL level?

6. Buy Or Sell

-Jeffrey Bassa, Chris Paul, Jack Kiser, Barrett Carter, Cody Simon, Cody Lindenberg, Smael Mondon, Jr.
