Draft Craft

JP and Dan may have bitten off more than they could chew in an effort to wrap up their six packs of prospects over the last 24 years. Today they power through Linebackers, Cornerbacks and Safeties, in what can only be said as their most thorough (and longest) episode yet! It's hard to get JP off Linebacker talk when you get him going.  The boys also touch on a list of session beers to drink.....

Dan and JP give their apologies to baseball fans of the show, as they totally forgot to preview the MLB draft last week.  Then the boys get into their six pack of Interior D-Linemen and Edge Rushers/Outside Linebackers from 1998-2010 and 2011-2022.  Of course JP cheats and Dan can't do math, so you're in for their most thorough episode yet!

JP and Dan are back together again after another somewhat atrocious round of golf. The boys jump back in the archives to name their top six prospects at QB, TE and O-Line, broken down into two blocks of time, 1998-2010 and 2011-2022. Have a listen and a laugh at some of their hits and catastrophic misses over the years. They also have a little bourbon battle as each of our gents grabbed a bottle o...

This week as the summer break wears on between OTA's, Minicamps and proper training camps, Dan and JP look at some of their favorite players that they were super high on going into each NFL draft. Starting in 1998, the boys recap their top six Wide Receivers from 98-2010, and another six pack from 2011-2022. They detail their hits...and some spectacular misses! The episode wraps up with some talk...

JP and Dan are live and in person again, fresh off of Dan's worst golf round of the year. To make them feel better the boys have their first Bourbon throwdown of the podcast, featuring a Weller, some dragon's milk, and a Varchas. They also touch on the NHL draft, and complete their look at the offseason activities for NFC South and North teams, including some unlikely praise for the Green Bay Pack...

JP and Dan make up for lost time starting with the NHL Draft tonight! The boys talk about whether or not Shane Wright should be the #1 overall pick, and then get into a quick look at the craziness of the NCAA Football realignment shakeup.  UCLA and USC in the Big 10? or Big 16? Big 20?! They also remember this is a show about the NFL and craft beverages.  Take a tour through the NFC's of...

Dan is at JP's house, so the boys are back in the basement with the huskies talking about minicamps.  The AFC East and West are on tap for today as they run through rookies, second year guys and injury updates as well as other news and notes for those teams. JP also can't resist waxing poetic about the Detroit Pistons' excellent NBA Draft night!

JP and Dan begin their trek through NFL divisions as they recap news and notes now that all 32 teams are through their mandatory minicamps. They start with the AFC North and AFC South, taking a high level look at how the rookies, newbies and veterans are adjusting to their new rosters. Then the boys wrap up with some talk about craft beers, craft spirits, and the other draft happening this week in...

JP and Dan are back at it after a week off. They're sharing their favorite six players from NFC teams as they wait for OTA's and Minicamps to wrap up for the 2022 NFL Offseason. And JP tells a tale about his birthday week adventure into the Michigan forest!

Join JP and Dan as they pass the time while NFL teams go through their OTA's. The boys talk about their six(ish) favorite all-time players from AFC squads.  Then JP lists his six(ish) beers on his birthday wish list. Help us find them!

Dan and JP introduce a new segment to the Draft Craftiness...it's time for Flight Fights!  The boys blind test and rank six (or seven) Michigan flagship IPA's, and you're not going to believe it, but they have some differences. Before that, they do a draft of sorts to decide which NFL teams they are going to focus on this offseason. They...they had some differences there as well. Enjoy!

Welcome to the boys trying to do a mostly unedited show at JP's, complete with random noises, Huskies, and beverages! They go over another pair of position groups for their way too early 2023 NFL draft rankings, and break down what you need in your mixy sixy this weekend for Memorial Day.  Shout out to all those who have served this great country!

JP and Dan recap the beverages they tried for American Craft Beer Week over the weekend with offerings from various states and styles, including JP's accidental Prairie beer story. Then the boys continue through their way too early look at position groups for the 2023 NFL Draft. Listen to see where they rate the Tight Ends and Cornerbacks!

JP and Dan complain about Detroit's lack of fortune in yet another sports league's draft. The boys also continue their way too early overview of the various position groups for the 2023 NFL draft, focusing on Wide Receivers and Linebackers. They wrap up with their top six states for craft beer...so far.

Dan and JP continue their way too early look at the 2023 NFL draft, giving us six packs of their favorite prospects at Running back and Interior D-Line, as well as their take on the NHL and NBA draft lotteries. The boys wrap up with their takes on the six best places to have a craft beer, and what they'd be drinking. Take notes!

JP and Dan let you in on their six packs of favorite...and least favorite brews that they've had the pleasure or tragedy to try. Let them know what they're missing out on!  Then the boys dip their toes into their waaaaaay too early 2023 NFL draft projections with some names to watch for at QB and Edge rusher.

JP and Dan put a bow on their recap of the 2022 NFL draft with six packs of favorite picks, and least favorite draft classes. You're not going to believe it, but they might actually agree on a few of them.  Not to be left out, they preview some mixy sixy's of the beer world as well.

Did we just come up with a new expansion team?! This is what happens when you let JP and Dan alone with some microphones. Join the boys as they finish their tour through the 2022 NFL Draft by division, wrapping up with the AFC and NFC west. Plus learn what beers you absolutely need to try from our nation's left coast. 

JP and Dan are gonna do what they say can't be done. No, not bootlegging cases of beer, but talking about individual ones. Today the boys go over their grades for the 2022 NFL Draft's Eastern divisions in the AFC and NFC. Then they talk about the beers they'd like to crush in the various eastern division states. Which includes Texas.  Cause, you know, East?

With a shout to Outkast, Dan and JP continue their tour through their 2022 NFL Draft grades with a stop off in the AFC and NFC south divisions. The boys also break down the beers they love, or really want to try from both the North and South regions of the country (as dictated by the NFL...so yea...yay geography)

JP and Dan begin their four episode breakdown of the 2022 NFL draft, handing out what they think the grades should be for all of the NFC and AFC North division teams. We're going in order of JP's favorites, so take notes so you can point out how wrong he is about your favorite team!

JP, Brad and Dan are back in the basement, with Huskies this time! The boys evaluate the second and third rounds of the 2022 NFL Draft to look for their favorite picks and surprises. They also congratulate the teams that seem to be drafting well...and chastise the ones that aren't (cough...New England!) Also! A shocking bet is made by JP and Brad. This is going to be fun.

JP and Dan are hunkered down in his basement with their buddy BradBrad making his first appearance on the show. The boys are crushing Michigan beers and discussing their biggest surprises from round one, and what they're looking forward to in the NFL draft tonight as they give advice to teams picking in rounds two and three.

It's the first day of the 2022 NFL Draft! Dan and JP give you their final thoughts on who they would take, and who they think NFL GM's will take in the first round tonight...which will likely be all wrong after trades and surprises wreak havoc as they do every year. The boys also give you their favorite beers to crush on draft night.

JP and Dan break down who they think the NFL GM's will be taking in the second half of the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. They also wax poetic on their love of the University of Michigan, and their disgust of the Green Bay Packers.
