Draft Strategies and Team Dynamics in the NFL

Colin’s top takes of the week!

First, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL schedule!

They start with a ridiculously easy schedule for the 49ers (3:30) and debate whether that gives Brock Purdy leverage in contract negotiations and whether Kyle Shannahan has been too involved with drafting (6:45). 

They highlight the Chiefs schedule as being particularly brutal due to their weak offensive line and the elite pass rushes they’ll face  (10:30) and the pressure NFC North teams will face (15:30). 

Then, Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA draft lottery

They start with the Mavericks landing the #1 overall pick despite long odds and the ability to draft Duke star Cooper Flagg, why the basketball gods just gave the Mavs possibly the greatest gift EVER and why the draft order couldn’t have gone better for the NBA (27:00).

They look at the Spurs, Thunder and Rockets as potential landing spots for Giannis and point to the results of the draft making the west even stronger compared to the east (33:00). Finally, they point to NIL giving top prospects the ability to take the better marketing of playing for blue chip college programs, and why recognizable domestic talents will help the NBA (37:30).
