They kick things off by reacting to the most shocking moment of the draft as the Los Angeles Rams grabbed their quarterback of the future by selecting Ty Simpson 13th overall and debate if using a high pick to secure the heir to Matthew Stafford was the right move for a team in the middle of a Super Bowl window. They then react to the landing spots for 1st Round Wide Receivers Carnell Tate, Jordan Tyson, Makai Lemon, KC Concepcion and Omar Cooper Jr and break down if landing with teams like the Tennessee Titants & Philadelphia Eagles changes anything about their pre-draft perceptions of these pass catchers. Next, Skip Bayless gives a grade for the Dallas Cowboys draft as Jerry Jones made 2 huge trades to move up and down to land Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence and debate if these 2 defensive superstars made Dallas the winners of the draft as they aimed to turn around the Cowboys's horrendous defense. Finally, they break down the New York Giants' night as Big Blue used their 2 top 10 picks to take advantage of a falling Arvell Reese and secure some protection for Jaxson Dart with Francis Mauigoa and discuss the Arizona Cardinals stunning move to take running back Jeremiyah Love at #3 and make him one of the highest paid RBs in the league despite never taking an NFL snap.
