 In our weekly ‘What’s More Likely’ segment, guest host Ryan Leaf says if the Lakers are more likely to miss the playoff entirely or win a playoff series, if the Cowboys or Amari Cooper will reach a Super Bowl first if Dallas parts ways with the WR, and if Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray will ink a long-term deal first.

Pro Football Focus analyst and 11-year NFL veteran QB Bruce Gradkowski tells Ryan why he came away less-than-impressed by Malik Willis’ NFL Combine showing, why Pitt QB Kenny Pickett impressed in Indianapolis in the wake of his small hands measurement earlier in the day, which other Combine QB’s disappointed and which rose to the occasion, and why Lamar Jackson deserves a long-term contract extension from the Ravens but Kyler Murray still has much to prove with the Cardinals, and says how a player’s Combine 40 time could re-shape their NFL prospects and give a fringe player a shot to make a roster much like he did as a rookie with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
