Summary

Our offseason priority series continues with a focus on the NFC South. Will Brinson and Tyler Sullivan break down the needs of the Falcons (:20), Panthers (15:20), Saints (26:45) and Bucs (39:00). Atlanta has a high pick which causes them at least to consider the future of Matt Ryan. Carolina seems firmly in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, so how will that impact the rest of their offseason approach? New Orleans is a mystery. We thought it was a guarantee that Drew Brees would retire, but there's at least some doubts now. And Tampa...They are the champs but also have areas of concern with several key free agents set to hit the market. Who will they retain and who will they let walk?

**Note: There was a slight technical issue at the beginning of the episode so we jump right into the NFC South conversation! It was to good to be true that Brinson was THAT to the point.

0:00.0	We will do this from reverse drafts, so in other words, that's how we've been doing
0:18.2	every division so far.
0:20.0	And we will start with the Atlanta Falcons, who have a 30-1 odds to win the NFC, 60-1 odds
0:25.7	to win the Super Bowl.
0:27.1	The number four overall pick in the draft, along with number 35 and 68.

0:36.9	Keanu Neal, Stephen Means, Ricardo Allen, Todd Gurley, Darkest, Denard, and Youngho Koo,

0:47.9	otherwise you would, I don't know why they were to stuck you on this podcast.
0:51.5	Without that, what is your biggest priority for the Falcons this offseason?
0:55.9	Well, before we just get into each team and all that, I do think that this is the great
0:59.9	example of how crazy an offseason can get when you look at this division.
1:04.0	I mean, we were sitting here a year ago saying that if a team was going to win the Super

1:21.6	have seen come in this time last year.
