May 01, 2025AFC Draft Review - Shedeur Sanders Slides & Jacksonville Make a Splash
Our post- NFL Draft review is here. We've divided it into two halves (for our own sanity as much as anything) - so this week we're only discussing the AFC.

A couple of big storylines that we're talking about:
Shedeur Sanders falls all the way to the fifth round(!) before getting taken by the Cleveland Browns
Jacksonville Jaguars gives over some serious draft capital to trade up to draft unicorn prospect Travis Hunter
Pittsburgh Steelers don't take a premium quarterback (sorry Will Howard) so all arrows point to Aaron Rodgers being the next signal caller in Pittsburgh.

April 24, 2025 The Final Mock Draft - Sanders Falls Out Top 10 & A Rush on Edge Defenders
The perfectly on-time and not at all late Mock Draft episode. Technically, this episode came out before the first round of the NFL Draft so it still counts.

We take it turns to make selections for what we are calling the Final Mock Draft (trademark pending) - because it comes out only 1 hour before the draft actually starts.
It is not at all scientific and is just based on vibes and whispers.
In it, we have Shedeur Sanders falling right the way down to the Pittsburgh Steelers at pick 21, and a total eight edge-rushers going in the first round.

Josh Conerly Jr. - Great all-round offensive tackle out of number one ranked Oregon.
