Summary

Dave is back from the banks of the Three Rivers. The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books. We decide who made the best pick and who made the worst. Dave then explains why he thinks Drew Allar is a flawed pick, but could be a steal under the tutelage of Mike McCarthy. Then The Count weighs in right before we chat with Pittsburgh Panthers Head Coach Pat Narduzzi. Plus, Mike Fuentes weighs in on the state of Mikes in the World, from Vrabel, Tomlin to Jackson.
