April is here and it’s NFL Draft month! First, Peter shares some stories of March Madness, from Kansas City Chiefs super fan Caitlin Clark, his son’s Yahoo! tournament bracket, and potential NFL prospect DJ Burns.

We’re back! And there’s plenty of news to cover and dissect. Peter breaks down the Justin Fields trade, why Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan pulled off quite a savvy maneuver, and what it means for Chicago. Peter also discusses why saying goodbye to Saquon Barkley, as rough as it may seem, ended with an elite 25-year-old pass rusher— and why that’s a more than acceptable tradeoff if you’re NYG. Then, Rams GM Les Snead joins on extremely short notice to go 45 minutes on the career of Aaron Donald. Snead drafted Donald and is the only GM he ever played for. Snead’s stories are rich and words like “rare”, “once in a lifetime”, and “alien” are used. A beautiful tribute to one of the greatest to ever do it.

Peter starts the podcast with a Combine preview, explaining the "art" and the "science" of Combine week, and how it's so much more than just the drills you see on TV. Then, he welcomes 4-time Super Bowl champion Steve Spagnuolo to the show. "Spags" talks about being the only coordinator in NFL history to win 4 different Super Bowl titles, why the NFL's youngest defense in the league was able to rise to the occasion time and time again, and how past and present colleagues like Tom Coughlin, John Harbaugh, Andy Reid, and the late Jim Johnson helped him become the coach he is today. Specifically, then, Peter and Spags go into preparing for the 49ers offense before Super Bowl LVIII, and just how special Kyle Shanahan is as a play caller. Spags goes into great detail on the crucial 3rd and 4 stop at the end of regulation and how Nick Bolton had as much to do with the play as Trent McDuffie. He also defends Brock Purdy and explains why he was so impressed with the 49ers QB. Lastly, Spags goes through his previous opportunities as an NFL head coach and his aspirations to someday get that chance again.
