Summary
In this episode, Middlekauff gives his thoughts on Mel Tucker jumping ship from Colorado to Michigan State, why it's just another example of the Pac-12 being a "Power 5" conference in name only, why he agrees with former Texans GM Rick Smith that NFL teams should be spending more resources developing draft prospects instead of just evaluating them, and why the dead cap hit for a vet QB like Matt Stafford - and other big names - will prevent teams from trading them. He also answers listener questions in Middlekauff's Mailbag. Follow John on twitter @JohnMiddlekauff and go to theherdnow.com to find the latest content. Subscribe now!

| 1:27.3 | It was a really powerful article but there was something specific in there that stood out to me from a scouting perspective. |
| 1:34.3 | And I remember when I worked in the league like Lewis Riddick used to talk about it all the time. |
| 1:39.3 | How teams just did a poor job of this and it's just he was dead on with something. |
