NFL Draft Preview + Top 10 Picks Reaction (Ep. 226)

About this episode

The hosts preview the NFL Draft and react to the top picks and trades live.

J Mark and Miranda kick off Old Fashioned Football on draft day with welcoming guest RD (Bet the Bar), owner of The Flying Moose. They preview first-round needs—especially for the Packers (day-two focus on defensive backs and trenches) and Bears (edge/d-line and defensive back help)—and note the shortened pick clock. The crew reacts live to early picks and trades, including Fernando Mendoza going first to the Raiders and David Bailey to the Jets. They also talk Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals, Carnell Tate to the Titans and Arvell Reese to the Giants. Plus Jordan Tyson to the Saints, Spencer Fano to the Browns, and the Giants landing Francis Mauigoa. They discuss dynasty fantasy implications, prop-style draft chatter, weather disruptions, and direct listeners to the SGPN draft stream for Bears pick 25 coverage. 00:00 - Show Intro 01:12 - Whiskey Mix Debate 03:04 - Draft Night Plans 06:53 - Guest RD Joins 07:54 - Packers Needs and Dynasty Angle 11:45 - Wide Receiver First Round Bets 16:22 - Bears Pick 25 Strategy 20:22 - Pick 1 Raiders Take Mendoza 27:04 - Pick 2 Jets Select Bailey 31:41 - Pick 3 Cardinals Take Love 40:45 - Titans Surprise With Tate 45:00 - Giants On The Clock…
