In the second installment of the 2026 Boom or Bust podcast series, Mar'Quell Fripp-Owens is joined by Anthony Russo to break down the NFL Draft as the Combine gets underway.

With draft season heating up, the duo dives deep into the traits that truly matter when evaluating talent. In a rapid-fire segment, they each name three positions and reveal the one defining trait they value most at each spot — the non-negotiables that separate prospects from pretenders.

They also tackle one of the toughest parts of scouting: handling the things out of your control. From off-the-field concerns and injury history to legal issues and character questions, Quell and Anthony discuss how those factors impact their rankings, how their approach has evolved over the years, and where they draw the line between risk and reward.

Plus, they break down the most polarizing prospects in the class — both the players they’re higher on than the consensus and the ones they just don’t see the same way as everyone else — before closing with the prospects they’re pounding the table for heading into draft season.
