About this episode

The episode discusses the draft strategies and needs of the NFC South teams ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

1. Although the Saints still have screaming needs at WR and pass rusher headed into next Thursday night, do you think it's imperative they stick with the disciplined draft approach they showed in 2025? 2. In Ian Cunningham's first season as Bears Assistant GM, his boss at the time, Ryan Poles, traded back four times on Day 3 alone, increasing the Bears total number of draft picks from 6 to 11. Do you anticipate him doing something similar in his first draft as Falcons GM? 3. What players at positions other than EDGE and LB do you think would make a lot of sense for the Bucs on Day 1? 4. Given the fact that the Panthers currently have no weapons in the passing game that scare opposing DC's aside from Tet McMillan, would you say most (if not all) signs point to them going that direction at 19 overall? 5. Saints three-round mock draft (no trades) 6. Falcons three-round mock draft (no trades) 7. Bucs three-round mock draft (no trades) 8. Panthers three-round mock draft (no trades)
