Summary

(00:00-05:43) – Query & Company opens on a Monday with Will Haskett filling in for Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison going over what today’s show will look like and preview some things that should be discussed during Chris Ballard’s press conference.     

(05:43-12:52) – After listening to Chris Ballard talk, Will Haskett shares a couple of quotes that he thought were noteworthy from the press conference.  

(12:52-18:58) – The first hour of Query & Company concludes with Will Haskett sharing more of his thoughts on what the Indianapolis Colts can do with Anthony Richardson if they cannot find a trade partner based off what he heard Chris Ballard said today. 

(18:58-45:33) – The Dean, Mike Chappell, from CBS4 & FOX59 joins Will Haskett on Query & Company today to share his interpretations from what Chris Ballard had to say about Kenny Moore II and Anthony Richardson Sr.’s trade requests, agrees with Will that it’s better to try and hang onto Richardson versus letting him go for nothing, comments on how the Colts needs aren’t high buzz draft positions for the second-round, and is asked if there is a specific position that would shock him on Friday night with the Colts second round pick.   

(45:33-1:00:56) – The Indiana Fever radio voice, John Nolan, makes his first appearance of the season on the show with Will Haskett to discuss the preseason expectations for the Fever with Caitlin Clark & Sophie Cunningham healthy with Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexie Hull back too. Will asks John which player is most important to the team’s overall success and what would happen if Aliyah Boston got injured with their lack of depth in the post.  

(1:00:56-1:05:40) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with Will Haskett and producer Eddie Garrison remembering what day of the year it is based off their commutes into the studio today. Will also makes a Costco comparison to Ballard’s approach to the draft. 

(1:05:40-1:30:42) – Luke Easterling from Athlon Sports joins Will Haskett on Query & Company this afternoon to weigh in on what Chris Ballard said earlier today about the depth at three particular position groups. Will asks him to explain the difference between a first-round edge rusher and a second-round edge rusher and if we are seeing teams in the middle of the first-round trade out because of it being weak in that portion of the draft. Finally, Lukes gives his opinion on a couple of the IU football players that will be drafted this weekend in Pittsburgh.  

(1:30:42-1:46:18) – Will Haskett explains how similar his childhood upbringing was to Jake Query’s, except he didn’t place second in the Allisonville Elementary Spelling Bee. He transitions the conversation back to the Colts by highlighting the hit rate of first-round picks and why he doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal that they don’t have a pick Thursday night.  

(1:46:18-1:53:33) – Today’s show ends with Will Haskett reacting to Chris Ballard tossing in the note that Alec Pierce had ankle surgery that will result in his recovery window being 3 months. Will also is joined by JMV in studio to preview his show!
