#529: Dash To The Draft 2025 (Last Minute Buzz/Rumors + Final Mock Draft with Hal Bent)
1. In each of the past three drafts, five trades or more occurred during the first round. Would you be surprised if we get less than that this year?2. Do you believe we will see three RB's get selected in Round 1 for the first time since 2012? 3. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being 'not at all', 10 being 'ludicrous'), how dumb do you think it would be for the Saints to select a QB at 9?4. If you were putting together a parlay for Day 1 of the draft, would you be willing to bet that Jaxson Dart gets selected before Shedeur Sanders? -4B. Staying on Shedeur Sanders for a moment, Todd McShay said on his podcast a few days before we recorded this that word has it Mike Tomlin "really likes" Shedeur and he may be the pick for the Steelers at 21 regardless of what happens on the Aaron Rodgers front. But as I mentioned on our NFC East Draft Preview, no team has done more work on him than the Giants have. They had a representative on hand for every Colorado game last season and their top decision-makers just held a last-minute, private workout with him in Boulder. Therein lies the rub for the Giants at 3. Do you take Shedeur there, or do you take one of Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter there and then do your darnedest to trade up to 20 or the late 'teens to land your potential QB of the future?5. If Will Johnson falls outside the top-15, or even the top-20, why, in your view, would a team be getting an absolute steal by selecting him?6. Truth or Exaggeration (Do you buy the Day 1 buzz?)-Mason Taylor-Carson Schwesinger-Tyleik Williams-Emeka Egbuka-Jared Wilson-Tyler Shough7. First-Round Mock Draft

#528: Dash To The Draft 2025 (AFC West Draft Preview with Carl Dumler)
1. Even though he's a RB, do you believe that Ashton Jeanty is, by far, the best prospect likely to be available at 6 that can help the Raiders win now? 2. Which one of those four scenarios (RB, TE, DL/EDGE or trade down) do you think would be the most ideal for the Broncos in Round 1?3. Let's say two solid WR's (Matthew Golden and Emeka Egbuka) and two solid DL/EDGE options (Mykel Williams and Kenneth Grant) are all available for the Chargers at 22. If you can't trade back, which position would you prioritize and why?4. Which one of those four positions of need (OT, G, TE, DL/EDGE) do you think the Chiefs should eye at 31 overall in order to give them the best possible chance to win both now and from now on?5.

#527: Dash To The Draft 2025 (NFC East Draft Preview with Josh Glaser)
1. If you're [Giants GM] Joe Schoen, would you be willing to take one of Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter at 3 and subsequently trade up from 34 to 19 or 20? Or do you just bite the bullet and take Shedeur Sanders at 3?2. Do you think the Cowboys should prioritize improving the OL over improving the offensive skill positions at 12?3. Which one of those three aforementioned roster holes (EDGE, CB, RB) is the biggest one separating the Commanders from dethroning the Eagles in the NFC?4. If you were [Eagles GM] Howie Roseman, which of those two approaches (trading up or stockpiling more picks for next year) would you prefer to use on Draft Day 2025? 5. Giants three-round mock6. Cowboys three-round mock 7. Commanders three-round mock8. Eagles three-round mock

#526: Dash To The Draft 2025 (AFC North Draft Preview with Bill Carroll)
1. If you're Browns GM Andrew Berry, would you be willing to trade back into the first round to as high as 19 or 20 and take Shedeur Sanders? Or would you prefer to roll the dice on a Day 2 project QB and wait to address the position in the first round next year? 2. Where do you think the evaluations of [Bengals Director of Player Personnel] Duke Tobin and his team have gone wrong these past three years, and what changes must the Bengals make when it comes to scouting talent on the defensive side of the ball? 3. Do you think Steelers GM Omar Khan should make it a high priority to trade back from 21 so they can recoup some of the value lost in the D.K. Metcalf trade?4. Who are some prime candidates in this draft that can make the strengths of this Ravens roster even more dangerous? 5. Browns three-round mock6. Bengals three-round mock 7. Steelers three-round mock8. Ravens three-round mock

#525: Dash To The Draft 2025 (NFC West Draft Preview with Josh Glaser)
1. What do you think an ideal draft haul would look like for the 49ers later this month? 2. Which one of those aforementioned positions (OL, DL, CB) would you say the Cardinals need to upgrade the most in order to take that next step forward in 2025?3. With five picks in the top-100, would you be willing to spend four, if not all five of them to upgrade the OL and WR if you were the Seahawks? 4. Which position that the Rams likely plan to address in this draft can turn out to be the final piece of their championship puzzle in your view? 5. 49ers three-round mock6. Cardinals three-round mock 7. Seahawks three-round mock8. Rams three-round mock
