1. For the second consecutive year, we seem to be looking at a very underwhelming crop of linebackers. What is your overall impression of this group and are there still solid options for LB-needy teams to consider?
2. When you factor in both the athletic promise and the troublesome medical history of Payton Wilson, how high can you see him getting drafted?
3. Since Junior Colson both played in and led a pretty comprehensive, pro-style defense in college, can you see him wearing the green dot for an NFL defense in his rookie season?
4. If any LB in this class were a strong candidate to go on ..read more

1. Last week, shortly after NFL free agency began, we saw a rather unprecedented market for running backs develop, especially by today's standards. And a big reason why that happened, according to Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network, is that the NFL is very down on the 2024 RB class. So I have a two-part question for you Jeff. First, what is your overall assessment of this crop of running backs and second, regardless of what you believe, why do you think NFL scouts and personnel executives feel the way they do?
2. Based on his film alone, why do you think most consider Jonathan Brooks to be the be ..read more

1. If Terrion Arnold has a case to be the first defensive player off the board on April 25, what is it?
2. Would you be surprised if Quinyon Mitchell ends up being the best corner in this class?
3. Clemson's Nate Wiggins is arguably the most "traits-y" corner in this draft class, but he had a rather disappointing Combine, only weighing in at 173 pounds (2nd percentile) and measuring in at an arm length of 30 1/2" (18th percentile). Do those measurements alone kick him out of the first round altogether?
4. Do you think Cooper DeJean would be best served by switching to safety in the NFL? Shou ..read more

1. For quite some time, Ohio State's Marvin Harrison, Jr. has been touted as a generational WR prospect. Several consider him as the best overall prospect in this draft class regardless of position. What exactly makes Marvin Harrison, Jr. such a rare, special talent?
2. If there is a case for Malik Nabers to be drafted ahead of Marvin Harrison, Jr., what is it?
3. What does Rome Odunze bring to the table that neither Marvin Harrison, Jr. nor Malik Nabers do?
4. What is the best trait in Brian Thomas, Jr.'s game aside from his effectiveness in the deep passing game?

1. NFL insider Benjamin Allbright reported that the NFL is quite lower on Joe Alt than draft media is and added that the league has compared him to Mike McGlinchey, another former Notre Dame OT that you're quite familiar with. Do you agree or disagree with the NFL's assessment of Joe Alt, and if you disagree, why will Alt likely be a better player than the current Broncos RT?
2. Should whoever drafts Taliese Fuaga him try him at tackle first and then switch him to guard if he fails? Would you be surprised if he's the first OT off the board?
3. Why do you think the hype cooled off a bit on Ol ..read more

1. The first big move of the Texans off-season occurred the week before the Super Bowl as they were able to retain both offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik (who was a hot head coaching candidate) and QB's coach Jerrod Johnson (who was a hot OC candidate) on revised contracts. Does this move suggest to you that Jerrod Johnson will replace Bobby Slowik at offensive coordinator should Slowik get a head coaching job in 2025?
2. Which positions do the Texans need to address the most in both free agency and the draft in order to take another massive step forward next season?
3. A key player enterin ..read more

1. Based on what you've seen from their tape thus far, do you think Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or even Jayden Daniels would be an automatic upgrade over Justin Fields and why?
2. If you're Ryan Poles, do you commit to trading Justin Fields by mid-March, or would you be willing to hold on to him until April, especially if neither Caleb Williams nor Drake Maye impress in interviews at the Combine?
3. According to NFL insider Brad Spielberger of PFF, the Bears would probably be able to receive picks 2 and 40 this year plus Washington's 2025 first to move down one spot. If you're Ryan Poles and ..read more
