🦁 Lions Outlook & Coaching Concerns

🧩 Top Remaining NFL Free Agents

06:47 – 20:39
Chris and Mario analyze top unsigned free agents, including:

  • Aaron Rodgers – Polarizing figure, recovering from injury; possible fit in Pittsburgh.

  • Amari Cooper – Reliable WR, could help teams like Dallas or L.A.

  • Keenan Allen – Decline in production, especially with the Bears.

  • J.K. Dobbins – Productive but injury-prone; expected to sign after the draft.

  • Justin Simmons & Julian Blackmon – Safety market limited by scheme fit and athleticism.

  • Asante Samuel Jr. – Young but reluctant tackler.

  • Kyzir White – 137 tackles in 2024, but still unsigned, possibly due to asking price.

  • Za’Darius Smith – Solid contributor, potential return to Detroit.

  • Rasul Douglas – Slowed down in coverage, possibly near retirement.


📝 NFL Draft Top 10 Preview

20:40 – 47:15

  • #1 Titans – Cam Ward is the heavy favorite; Tennessee likely locked in.

  • #2 Browns – Travis Hunter expected to go here, with elite two-way potential.

  • #3 Giants – Abdul Carter a safe pick to stabilize the defense.

  • #4 Saints – Will Campbell likely to bolster the offensive line.

  • #5 Jaguars – Ashton Jeanty gains momentum as a top RB choice.

  • #6 Raiders – Arnold Membou favored, but debate between O-line and defense (Mason Graham, Jalon Walker).

  • #7 Jets – Tyler Warren (TE) is the favorite, but value is debated vs. offensive linemen or WRs.

  • #8 Panthers – Defensive picks considered (Mykel Williams), but need for WR help noted.

  • #9 Saints – Jalon Walker is the top betting favorite, but concerns about his production are discussed.


🧠 Draft Analytics: Prospects Deep Dive

Draft Preview
Chris and Mario debate several high-profile prospects:

  • Mason Graham – Viewed as productive but possibly overhyped.

  • Jalon Walker – Athletic but lacks sack production; disruptive but incomplete.

  • Mykel Williams – Physically gifted but underperforms in pass rush situations.

  • Will Johnson – Once elite CB prospect; now questioned for lack of impact and rumors of “taking the year off.”

  • Tyler Warren vs. Colston Loveland – Evaluating tight end upside and blocking limitations.
