    Feb 11 2021
    Episode 5 is here! Sewell vs Tunsil? Chase vs Cooper? That’s just the start when we pit some current prospects against some former studs from years' past.

    Who was better coming out and should that impact how we evaluate things today? Then we discuss polarizing quarterback prospect Davis Mills, Alabama star Pat Surtain and dig deep on their evaluations. Can Surtain become an elite player or has he been a bit over-hyped by the media?

    To cap it off we talk Senior Bowl players and hear from Ruckus what he looks for when watching players attending the event.

    Bonus question this week is an interesting debate involving first round quarterbacks from the last few drafts. Don’t miss it all!

    Jan 24 2021
    In this weeks’ show, the crew starts off by breaking down 2 popular players at positions that aren’t viewed as high value positions in today’s NFL.

    Followed by a segment called Draft Diamonds where each guy picks 1, 2 or 20 players (in Ruckus’ case) that are currently underrated but could surprise come draft time.

    Then the guys have a new segment called Down, Distance & Match-up where they come up with a game situation and pick which prospects would fit best in a specific match-up.

    Finally, Joe has the bonus question and the guys giving Ruckus a homework assignment.

    Rundown:

    00:00 – 6:50: Show open, 5-star reviews and Lil Wayne songs

    7:37 – 26:40: Kyle Pitts – Blue chip match up nightmare or more limited receiver?

    26:41 – 38:48: Najee Harris – More valuable than Pitts and a typical RB? NFL comp?

    41:15 – 1:01:40: Draft Diamonds – Prospects you may not know about but should have on your radar

    1:02:06 – 1:15:19: Down, Distance, Match-up – Ramsey vs Waddle/Toney? Who covers Waller & Ruggs?
