Summary
On this episode of 3 & Out, we break down a major quarterback move as the Kansas City Chiefs trade for Justin Fields. What does this mean for the Chiefs’ offense, how could Fields fit alongside Patrick Mahomes, and what led Kansas City to make the move?
We also take a deeper look at the evolution of drafting running backs in today’s NFL. With the position continuing to change in value, how are teams approaching RBs differently in the draft compared to years past?
Plus, we discuss how quarterback timelines across the league are getting shorter, with teams making quicker decisions than ever before on whether their young QBs are the long-term answer.
And we look at the market around the league and whether any team will ultimately trade for Brandon Aiyuk.
Finally, we open up the mailbag and answer your questions from around the NFL.
All that and more on this episode of 3 & Out.
