Most Improved and Least Improved in the AFC

Sheil and Ben are back to discuss the major moves that occurred during the NFL draft. Perhaps the most shocking move of all was the Falcons taking Michael Penix Jr. at 8. Was this the right move for a team that just gave Kirk Cousins $100 million in guaranteed money? Receivers have been getting a lot of money this offseason: However, Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers have not reached a new deal yet. How much has the price tag gone up on Aiyuk? Plus, did the Steelers and Jets put themselves in title contention?

NFL Draft Round 1 Recap | Dual Threat

Sheil and Ben predict some surprises that could go down in the loaded 2024 NFL draft. The race for the no. 2 QB has gotten tighter. Is Jayden Daniels the Commanders' answer at no. 2? The Giants have Daniel Jones under contract, but could they be making a draft night move that could expedite his departure from New York? Who will be the first OL taken off the board? Joe Alt might not be the lock that we all think he is come draft night.
