On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G have a lengthy conversation about Aaron Rodgers' future in Green Bay following a report that he has issued an 'It's either him or me' ultimatum to the front office regarding general Brian Gutekunst. If it was really that simple, the clear and obvious answer would be to axe the GM. Gutekunst has been mostly terrible running the show for the Packers over the last 3 seasons - and that's excluding his decision to trade up into the first round last year to draft third string quarterback Jordan Love. But assuming that it's not as easy as Rodgers vs. Gutekunst, it's not all that unusual to see a star quarterback end his career in a different jersey. Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady all had Hall of Fame career with one franchise only to spend their final days in a different uniform. Finally, it's time to stop blaming disgruntled athletes or wanting out of town when things go haywire. They have a right to pursue their own happiness just like any other person. If Rodgers feels disrespected by the Packers and decides he'd rather finish his career in another jersey, who are we to blame him? Fans wants their athletes to love their teams as much as they do, but what they fail to understand is this is still just a job to them. Loyalty doesn't exist in sports; it never has.

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a deep dive into the report that sent shockwaves through the sports media world: Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay. The Packers had to have seen this coming the moment they drafted Jordan Love in the first round last year. If the plan was always to move on from Rodgers in 2022 - which seems to be the case given that the team refused to sign him to a contract extension coming off an MVP season - then why not trade him on draft night for a King's Ransom? Unless John Elway can work some magic and get Rodgers to Denver in the next few days, this could get really ugly really quickly. As far as the NFL Draft goes, the big winners had to be the Jacksonville Jaguars. Not only did they land the best quarterback prospect in years in Trevor Lawrence, but they also added his backfield mate Travis Etienne. The Jags are a sneaky bet to win the AFC South next year. The biggest shocker of the night may have been what happened at #3 as the San Francisco 49ers decided to take Trey Lance over Mac Jones. For weeks now several reputable NFL reporters told us it would be Jones, so it was rather perplexing to hear Lance's name called instead. Perhaps something happened behind closed doors between Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch that caused a sudden change of heart. Speaking of Jones, how is he going to fit in New England? Jones and incumbent starter Cam Newton couldn't be any more different stylistically. Sticking with quarterbacks, the Chicago Bears made headlines when they traded up to take Justin Fields. Fields is a fine prospect, for sure, but the move did feel a little desperate. Finally, Jason closes the show with a quick rundown of all the picks he liked - and didn't like - during Round 1 of the NFL Draft.

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by locking back at his way-too-early 2021 NFL Mock Draft from last year. There will be a lot of guys taken tonight that Jason had on his Big Board a year ago, but the more interesting story is the guys who seem to have fallen off. Plus, Jason explains why the Denver Broncos decision to trade for Teddy Bridgewater could have major implications on the quarterback draft order. Does this open the door for the New England Patriots to trade up for Trey Lance or Justin Fields? We'll find out soon enough! Later, former Pro Bowl defensive back and DraftNastyMagazine.com founder Corey Chavous swings by to discuss how he made the transition from playing football to evaluating prospects, how Las Vegas Raiders general manager became the poster boy for how difficult it can be to go from evaluating to actually making the picks, why it's just as important for analysts to recognize guys you got wrong as it is guys you got right, why Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain II reminds him a bit of Jalen Ramsey, why he has Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons as the top defensive player available even considering his relatively checkered past, how he learned more about Alabama quarterback Mac Jones in his worst game than in his best game, why he's higher on Miami defensive end Greg Rousseau than his 'more talented' teammate Jaelan Phillips, and much more!

NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero swings by to discuss why some NFL coaches are comparing Mac Jones' scouting tape to Joe Burrow's, why intangibles are what's really pushing Trey Lance up draft boards, the difference between processing and intelligence - and what it means for Jones and Justin Fields, how Josh Allen's NFL development could help boost someone's draft stock, why fit is in many ways more important than raw talent, why there's a lot of pressure on Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay heading into next season, why the back half of the first round could have more 'reaches' than what most fans are accustomed to, why he wouldn't be surprised at all if the New England Patriots traded up for a quarterback, and much more!

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G discuss Chris Paul's All-NBA First Team candidacy on the heels of his virtuoso performance on Monday night to halt the New York Knicks 9-game winning streak. CP3 has been a very good player for a very long-time with a history of impacting winning. You could argue that he's on-par with great point guards of the past like John Stockton and Jason Kidd. However, what keeps from getting on the Magic Johnson-Isiah Thomas-Steph Curry level is that he's only ever been awesome in the regular season; His playoff failures over the past decade (on stacked rosters) has been well-documented. Focusing on just this season, however, Paul's case for First Team All-NBA alongside Curry is bolstered by the Phoenix Suns' improbably run to the top of the Western Conference. In an age where advanced stats like PER and Box Plus Minus are all the rage, will CP3's 'winning impact' be enough to overtake the gaudy stats of guys like Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard? Only time will tell. On the NFL front, multiple outlets are reporting that the Atlanta Falcons are fielding trade calls on superstar wide receiver Julio Jones. You always take rumors like that with a grain of salt, especially this time of the year. Moreover, what kind of message would a trade like that send to the rest of the roster? Unless the idea of drafting the hometown hero Justin Fields at #4 is too good to pass up, Jason believes it's hard to imagine the Falcons actually pulling the trigger on a trade.

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the NFL Network report suggesting that the San Francisco 49ers have narrowed down their choices at #3 to Mac Jones or Trey Lance. Neither quarterback has much experience at the college level, and scouts are skeptical about how each will transition to the NFL. Jones was the triggerman for a stacked roster at Alabama while Lance beat up on inferior competition. Enter the 'arrogant' Kyle Shanahan. There isn't a coach in the NFL who has more confidence in his system than Shanahan. Multiple outlets have reported that the 49ers head coach isn't looking for the most talented or the most dynamic quarterback at #3; All he really wants is a player who fits his system. With all the hype surrounding Jones and Lance, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields' stock appears to have taken a hit... even if nobody is sure exactly why. Nearly every legitimate criticism you can make about Fields as a prospect can be applied to both Jones and Lance, and those two are in consideration at #3. Perhaps Fields will fall all the way down to Rob G's Las Vegas Raiders. Wouldn't that be something? Finally, Jason closes the show with a quick thought on Kevin Durant's return to action in the Brooklyn Nets' victory over the Phoenix Suns. It's hard to learn much from a Sunday game in April, but one thing is certain: the Nets with a healthy Durant are still the class of the Eastern Conference.

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on Anthony Davis' return to the court after missing 30 games due to injury. AD looked very rusty shooting just 2-for-10 from the field, but it was nice just to see him out there again. The biggest story of the night, however, is a somber one. Kentucky's Terrence Clarke died in a car accident while preparing for the NBA Draft in Los Angeles. He was just 19 years old. Please say a prayer for his loved ones during this difficult time. Later, ProFootballTalk creator and owner Mike Florio swings by to discuss how the pandemic has actually benefitted him in some ways professionally, why he was so fascinated by the New England Patriots' free agency spending spree, why he thinks the sports media pays entirely too much attention to the Dallas Cowboys given their overall lack of success the past 20+ years, why he believes the Washington Football Team is the class of the AFC East, why he believes that Deshaun Watson should do whatever he can to settle all 22 of his sexual assault lawsuits, why it's looking more and more likely that Mac Jones will be the San Francisco 49ers' pick at #3 in the upcoming NFL Draft, and much more!

On today's episode, former NFL scout and author Daniel Kelly joins Jason for an extension conversation heading into next week's NFL Draft. In the interview, Kelly explains why he thinks Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence has high bust potential and why Lawrence's comments to Sports Illustrated last week were a big red flag, why Alabama quarterback Mac Jones reminds him a bit of Joe Namath and why he could see the New England Patriots making a move for Jones if he slides past #3, why BYU signal caller Zach Wilson seems too 'soft' to succeed as the New York Jets' franchise quarterback if he winds up there as expected, why he wouldn't draft North Dakota State's Trey Lance at all if he was running an NFL franchise, why he has Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields as the top guy at the position entering the Draft, and much more!
