About this episode

The episode discusses the fallout from AJ Brown's expected departure, speculation around Joe Burrow's potential trade, and final safety rankings for the upcoming draft.

The show opens right back on the AJ Brown situation, with Erik and Matt breaking down the inevitable....his departure feels all but locked in. The focus shifts to what comes next: how the media narrative is likely to flip once he’s traded. Expect the tone to turn sharply anti-AJ, with stories surfacing that reshape the situation in a very different light. It’s not new—it’s the cycle—and the guys call their shot on how it’ll play out. From there, they react to the latest report from Schefter about an NFC team quietly positioning itself to stockpile picks for a potential future move for Joe Burrow. Naturally, the speculation begins. Which team fits the bill? Who’s desperate enough, and bold enough to even think about pulling that off? Then it’s time to close the book on scouting for the 2026 draft. The final six safeties are put under the microscope and stacked up against yesterday’s group. How does this batch compare? Is there a clear top dog, or is this class more about depth than elite talent? Erik and Matt finalize their rankings and take a step back to look at the full safety board. With evaluations complete, all eyes now turn to what’s next—the ITERZ 2026 First Round Mock…
