Linebackers That Hit Different + Hurts Noise Isn’t Going Away

About this episode

The episode discusses the latest news surrounding Jalen Hurts and A. J. Brown, along with an analysis of top linebacker prospects for the 2026 Draft.

The show kicks off with a quick pulse check on Howie Roseman addressing the latest buzz surrounding Jalen Hurts and the swirling A. J. Brown trade rumors. Matt and Erik break down what was actually said, what it means (and what it doesn’t), and why this story continues to linger around the Eagles. Then it’s onto the 2026 Draft, where things really heat up. The guys dive into their first group of linebackers—Jacob Rodriguez, Jake Golday, Arvell Reese, and Sonny Styles—and Matt is all the way in. This isn’t just a solid group… it might be the most complete foursome he’s evaluated so far. From instincts to athletic upside to scheme versatility, each prospect brings something different to the table—and the big question becomes: is this finally a linebacker class worth getting excited about at the top? If this group is the tone-setter, Eagles fans might want to start paying close attention.
