Summary

Rich begins the hour explaining why the Bears moving up to draft Justin Fields was a win-win-win for Chicago’s GM, coach, and new QB. Rich offers up his long-awaited reaction to the Jets drafting Zach Wilson #2 overall and why, though his favorite team has been down this road many times before, “this feels different” and why he’s filled with hope the franchise can turn around its fortunes at long last. San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan tells Rich when he knew he was going to select Trey Lance at #3 overall in the NFL Draft, why Jimmy Garoppolo remains the Niners’ staring QB…for now, how much a role his dad, former NFL head coach Mike Shanahan, played in the pre-draft evaluation leading up to the Trey Lance selection which leads to the shocking reveal that Washington had planned on drafting Russell Wilson in the 4th round the year they drafted RG3 in the first round, confirms that he did indeed call the Packers about a possible trade for disgruntled QB Aaron Rodgers, and how many players called and texted him on Sunday to let him know they were alive following his macabre existential comments in his last press conference leading up to the draft. Rich ends the hour recapping what happened behind-the-scenes at this year’s RunRichRun event including Michael Vick’s eye-popping 40-yard dash time despite pulling a hamstring halfway through.
