Summary

Live from Indianapolis where Rich weighs in on day one of the NFL Scouting Combine where Ohio State LB Sonny Styles stole the show with his eye-popping workouts, and debates if the Raiders should pass on Fernando Mendoza with the #1 overall pick to load up on defense instead and select a QB in the 2027 NFL Draft. NFL Network Reporter Stacey Dales and Rich discuss the possibility that 4 Ohio State Buckeyes are selected in the Top 10 of the NFL Draft, why Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza will be a star in the league, and shares her favorite backstories on some of the Combine’s most interesting players off the field. In ‘What’s More Likely’ Rich weighs in on the possibility the Raiders trade Maxx Crosby, the uncertain futures or Tua Tagovailoa, Kyler Murray and Kirk Cousins with their current teams, JJ McCarthy’s status as the Vikings’ starting QB, Colts QB Anthony Richardson’s trade market, the NFL Combine and more.
