19:54 - Tischler Tuesday: Who’s the Guy for the Commanders at 29?

It’s a ‘Tischler Tuesday’ as Craig welcomes on Mitch Tischler, co-host of the Beltway Football podcast, to talk all things NFL Draft. Mitch reveals the one player he’s hoping falls to the Commanders at pick 29 — edge rusher Shemar Stewart — and explains why he believes Dan Quinn’s staff can unlock his potential. The guys also debate Adam Peters’ risk tolerance, why drafting a running back in the first round would be a mistake, and Mitch shares his favorite late-round sleeper pick.

Craig welcomes on his Team 980 colleague Chris Russell to break down the Capitals' thrilling 3-2 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 of their first-round NHL playoff series.

29:47 - More Vibe Check Tuesday Calls

It’s Vibe Check Tuesday! Craig opens the lines and a Commanders fan calls in with a key observation: there’s not a lot of separation in this year’s NFL Draft prospects from pick 25 to 75. That leads to the big question — should the Commanders draft the best player available, or target a position of need at 29? Craig dives into the pros and cons of each strategy and what it could mean for Washington’s roster-building approach.

Craig kicks off the show by reacting to the best soundbites from Commanders GM Adam Peters’ pre-draft press conference. Craig breaks down Peters' thoughtful comments on how he evaluates prospects with so-called “character concerns” and what that tells us about the Commanders' culture under this new regime. Plus, Peters gives a glimpse into how he builds and uses his big board — and Craig explains what that might signal for Washington’s draft night strategy.

From 'Take Command' (subscribe here): The key to a draft big board is putting the players into tiers with tier 1 being the absolute cream of the crop. Logan discusses his tier 1 players in this year's class and why only 3 guys managed to make up that tier for him.
