Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Do you think the Jets trade with the Packers for Aaron Rodgers goes down during the draft or after the draft? Outside of offensive line, do you see any other glaring holes on this Jets roster? 2. If the Patriots do not select Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round, do you think they're more likely to trade for a veteran WR like DeAndre Hopkins than take one in the second round? 3. Based on w...

1. If you're a Bears fan, would you be equally as happy (if not happier) if the Bears trade down with say the Steelers at 17 and get Darnell Wright there as opposed to staying at 9 and taking Paris Johnson, Jr. or Peter Skoronski? 2. Assuming the top OT's, CB's and EDGE players are off the board by the 15th overall pick, do you think the Packers should take Jaxon Smith-Njigba or even D...

1. Do you think Elijah Moore is as good a talent or better than the WR's and TE's that would likely have been available for the Browns at 42? What are the Browns biggest remaining areas of need? 2. How do you think new Steelers GM Omar Khan will approach the draft differently (even in the most subtle of ways) than his predecessor Kevin Colbert? 3. How should Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh...

1. Come draft weekend, do you think the Broncos go with George Paton's "more darts" approach, Sean Payton's "quality over quantity" approach, or somewhere in between? Would you anticipate the Broncos trading Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy or both during the draft? 2. If you're Raiders GM Dave Ziegler, do you move heaven and earth to get a deal done with Cardinals GM...

1. The latest buzz suggests that there's a good chance the Texans actually pass on taking a QB at 2 if the Panthers select Bryce Young, and the drumbeat of Young indeed being Carolina's choice is growing louder and louder. Are you hearing similar and if so, do you anticipate the Texans trying to trade out of that #2 overall pick should that scenario come to pass? 2. I have not heard any bu...

1. Your colleague and right-hand man at Team NBS Media (and a regular on this program as well) Jeff Barnes said that this LB group is one of the weakest positions in this year's draft. Do you agree? 2. When it comes to Trenton Simpson, what is THE absolute best role for him off the bat? 3. The dilemma when it comes to Drew Sanders for whoever selects him is to either make him a pass rusher mos...

1. If you're Monti Ossenfort, do you only consider trading down to 7 with the Raiders to put yourself in position to get a player like Tyree Wilson or Christian Gonzalez (both of whom the Cardinals reportedly love) or do you trade down to 11 if the Titans give you essentially the same package as the Panthers gave the Bears? With buzz swirling that the Texans may pass on a QB at 2 should the Pa...

1. Is there equally as strong of a case for either Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud to be the top pick, or would you strongly prefer Stroud if you were in the Panthers front office? 2. Why aren't the Falcons urgently working to find that long-term answer at QB? 3. Do you share the assessment that the Saints roster is "old" and "not particularly well-built?" Should Mickey Loomis a...

1. Christian Gonzalez is almost universally expected to be the top corner off the board, likely within the top-10 picks. What makes Gonzalez such a special prospect? 2. Do you see Devon Witherspoon as worthy of a top-15 pick...or do his size and athleticism (or lack thereof) give you pause? 3. Do you think Joey Porter, Jr.'s best possible fit is with a team that plays a very heavy amount of pr...

1. How does Will Anderson compare to some of the other generational EDGE prospects of the past 12 years (Von Miller, Khalil Mack, etc.) and did you like his college tape better than any of them? 2. What makes Jalen Carter such a special talent...and if YOU were a GM of a team picking in the top-10, would you still take him if he fell to you? 3. Why do you think some teams are equally as high (or e...

1. Do you think Peter Skoronski, like Jets star G Alijah Vera-Tucker, can be that type of player who's a great guard yet can also do an above-average job playing tackle if the situation warrants it? 2. What makes Paris Johnson, Jr. a worthy investment as a top-10 pick? Why is he the top offensive tackle on your board? 3. What is the argument for say the Bears with the ninth overall pick to pre...

1. What makes Bijan Robinson arguably the best prospect at the running back position since Saquon Barkley? 2. Do you think being an RB2 in a rotation with a limited carry count is the best possible role for Jahmyr Gibbs at the NFL level...or can he be even more? 3. Do you think Devon Achane is worth a top-50 pick? 4. Would you be surprised if Zach Charbonnet is the third RB to go off the board, if...

1. Do you expect to see many (if not most teams) use a lot more 12 personnel than we are used to seeing this season? 2. If a team is looking for a classic "move" tight end with a similar play-style to Travis Kelce, the guy they probably want is Utah's Dalton Kincaid, who is considered the best pure receiving tight end in this class. What makes him such a dangerous weapon in the passi...

1. When it comes to the wide receivers in the 2023 NFL Draft, it is a very underwhelming group. Not only is there no Ja'Marr Chase-level prospect among them, there isn't even a prospect you can safely say is on the level that Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were headed into last year's draft. However, if you take a deeper look into this class, one can argue that if you need a receiver w...

1. Did C.J. Stroud's Herculean performance against Georgia convince you that there is FAR more untapped potential with him? 2. Given what you see from him on tape, do you think Bryce Young has a very good chance to be successful for an even longer period of time than Russell Wilson? 3. The most common player comp I've heard for Bryce Young is somebody outside the football world...basketbal...

1. Do you share the sentiment of Mel Kiper, et al that this is not a good draft class? 2. Based on the perceived aforementioned drop-off from Jalen Carter and Will Anderson to the rest of the class, do you think the Bears should only trade back to as far as #4 overall with the Colts? Do you think the best case scenario for the Bears is to initially trade back one spot with the Texans and then trad...

1. Super Bowl LVII Reactions     -Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: Chiefs are a dynasty in the making because a future HOF coach is paired with a future HOF QB, Hal: Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy deserves all the credit for "Corn Dog"...and a head coaching job soon)     -GOAT of the Game (DKrom: Jalen Hurts, Hal: Brett Veach)     -DUNCE of the Ga...

NFL draft analyst/insider Tony Pauline of the Pro Football Network joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss who made some money during the week of practices down in Mobile, why the Bears being able to trade the #1 overall back is no sure thing, his thoughts on the Broncos hire of Sean Payton, and an interesting nugget on the Cardinals head coaching search 

Panthers beat reporter Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer joined me to discuss the rationale for the Panthers hiring Frank Reich over Steve Wilks for their head coaching job, some potential offensive coordinator candidates for Reich's staff, how far of a move up the board he sees the Panthers making in the first round, and the likelihood of a Brian Burns contract extension before the 2023 season

Packers beat reporter Gery Woelfel joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss just how likely an Aaron Rodgers trade is, how he expects the Packers to further address their salary cap situation going forward and needs that need to be addressed this offseason 

Bills beat reporter Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss the team's offseason needs, whether or not he expects the Bills to use the franchise tag on LB Tremaine Edmunds, what a realistic recovery timetable for Von Miller looks like...and a lot more!!!

Nick Farabaugh, who covers the Steelers for Pittsburgh Sports Now, joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss OL options for the Steelers in the draft, his thoughts on the Steelers keeping OC Matt Canada, and what in-house free agents the Steelers plan to re-sign

Eagles beat reporter Devin Jackson of the Philadelphia Inquirer joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl and shared his thoughts on what THE key is for the Eagles to win Super Bowl LVII, which players on the offensive and defensive line he believes will NOT return to the team next season, what a Jalen Hurts contract extension will look like, and what he thinks the Eagles will do with their two fi...
