Craig welcomes NFL Analyst Dan Pizzuta to break down the Commanders' biggest needs vs. wants heading into the NFL Draft. Dan ranks the positions Washington should prioritize and shares his thoughts on what direction Adam Peters and company might take at pick 29. He says he'd be shocked if the team drafted a running back, but wouldn’t be surprised if they went with a wide receiver to add more firepower to the offense. Craig and Dan dive into the philosophy behind targeting premium positions and what value looks like late in the first round.

33:10 - Calls on What Commanders Can Do at Pick 29?

As Draft Week rolls on, Craig puts the spotlight on two prospects often linked to the Commanders — Shemar Stewart and Emeka Egbuka — and argues that both are being misrepresented in pre-draft discourse. Stewart’s lack of sack numbers has drawn criticism, but Craig points out his QB pressures tell a much more complete story. As for Egbuka, the narrative that he’s “just solid” and not dynamic in any one area overlooks just how consistently excellent he’s been. Craig sets the record straight on both players — and what that could mean for Washington at pick 29.

Craig opens the show with Washington Post reporter Sam Fortier, who joins to break down his latest feature exploring America’s obsession with NFL mock drafts. Sam describes the story as one rooted in hope and identity, seen through the lens of three key figures — the forgotten godfather of the mock draft, today’s cutting-edge analyst, and the unheralded mock draft king. Plus, Sam shares his prediction for the Commanders’ pick at No. 29… and he’s going with Ohio State wideout Emeka Egbuka.
