Summary

Thor Nystrom and Eric Froton join Matt Stroup to discuss the draft needs for all the teams in the NFC East — from the suddenly intriguing Washington Football Team to the Eagles, who have traded down to 12th overall and appear set to move forward (for at least one year) with Jalen Hurts. Should Philadelphia and Washington target a wide receiver in the first round? Would the Giants or the Cowboys put other needs aside if one of the top pass-catchers (like DeVonta Smith) is still on the board? We examine all of those possibilities, then Eric brings us a detailed breakdown of the top interior defensive linemen in the 2021 NFL Draft, led by Alabama’s Christian Barmore.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to a good football show. I am Matt Straup and today it is our NFL
0:21.9	draft episode and we're going to be focusing in on the draft needs for the teams in the
0:26.7	NFC East. What are their biggest remaining areas of need after free agency? Plus we'll
0:32.5	be breaking down the top five interior defensive lineman in this draft class. I'm joined
0:37.8	by Thorne Eistrom and Eric Froton and guys, I don't know about you but this almost feels
0:43.8	too good to be true, this convergence. Today we get to talk about the only division in
0:48.3	football without a winning record and interior defensive lineman on the same episode. Incredible
0:55.0	programming. It feels like the football fates are smiling upon us. Figured we'd roll out
0:59.1	the red carpet for Froton in this first episode. Yeah. Yeah, Eric, we really we saved literally
1:06.2	all of our premier programming for your arrival. So welcome. Well, that's what you get when
1:11.0	you win the 2020 college sports writer of the year award. Matt is you get the red carpet
1:17.6	rolled out and nothing says red carpet getting rolled out like interior defensive lineman.
1:25.0	Absolutely. Well, we're going to start with the NFC East first and we start with the team
1:30.9	that by default was at the top, the team that won the division with a seven and nine record
1:35.1	and has actually had a very intriguing offseason. The Washington football team brought in Ryan
1:39.5	Fitzpatrick, which suddenly makes Terry McLaren and their offseason edition of Curtis Samuel,
1:44.3	that much more appealing for fantasy purposes. They also have another note we're receiving
1:48.4	weapon at Titan and Logan Thomas. So Thor as you assess this team's needs, I mean, what do you
1:53.6	think the Washington football team should look to do with the 19th pick in the draft and beyond?
1:58.0	Is it defense for you? Is it offense? You make the call here for me to be more fortifying the
2:02.4	offense. You mentioned some of the the changes that they've had. Obviously, we don't have a long-term
2:06.4	quarterback yet. They did find their long-term running back, which is good, but McLaren could use
