It’s draft season and the gloves are off! In this special crossover episode, Thunder Down Under locks horns with the Powderkeg Podcast in a no-holds-barred Mock Draft Showdown. Who nails the picks? Who reaches for a punter? And who should be banned from drafting ever again? Expect bold takes, plenty of banter, a few friendly jabs (okay, not that friendly), and a whole lot of Chargers chaos.

You be the judge.

“It was a deathly quiet first week of free agency for the Chargers and fans were angry! They thought GM Joe Hortiz had forgotten about the team’s $90m of cap space and that Herbert was being hung out to dry (again).

We discuss it all on TDU. Don’t miss it
