Summary

ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Todd McShay and Rich discuss the Jets strategy and options at quarterback heading into the NFL Draft and free agency, which teams could resurrect the once-promising hopes of Sam Darnold, how BYU QB Zach Wilson stacks up against the presumptive #1 pick Trevor Lawrence, if the Patriots are likely to move up and take a QB in the first round, why the Dolphins should be patient with Tua Tagovailoa after an up-and-down rookie season and if he’d swap him for Deshaun Watson if given the chance, and if the Bears should jump in the market for the embattled Texans QB. Rich breaks down the Bears quarterback situation and explains why Alex Smith would be a great fit for the Bears at quarterback next season. Rich and the guys react to Tom Brady’s latest Tik Tok post documenting his morning routine and compare how his differs (GREATLY) from theirs, and also debate on whether or not they eat the ends of bananas or nah.
