Summary

Jagger May is joined by Andrew Mott as they connect free agency fallout to draft needs, and it keeps coming back to one idea: do not force luxury picks when the roster still has clear holes. The conversation hits teams that missed on Max Crosby and pivoted, including the “consolation” angle around Rashan Gary, plus how bringing back Javonte Williams impacts what a team can justify early. There is also a clear skepticism about overvaluing stopgap receivers as long-term answers, especially when a team still needs a real running mate for Malik Nabers. The Jeremiyah Love debate shows up again, with pushback on trying to force a top-ten running back landing spot when several teams already have capable backs. Instead, the focus shifts to guards, corners, and roster construction. Washington’s needs are framed as “get offense,” while the tight end discussion ties Chigoziem Okonkwo to the Zach Ertz style role, and the Eagles angle leans toward finding answers at safety and interior line. The episode also touches teams like the Rams preparing for life after Matthew Stafford, the Vikings’ upside if they ever landed Love, and the 49ers’ urgency to protect Brock Purdy if Trent Williams becomes a real question.

NFC, baby, did your team do well in free agency?

0:04.0

We're here to discuss that and the draft implications going forward right here on draft nerds.

0:10.0

As always, it's me Jagger May, and that's Andrew Mott.

0:14.0

Friday we hit the AFC side of things.

0:16.0

Now we're going to look at all the free agency moves.

0:18.0

On the other side, we're going to start out with the

0:20.9

dallas cowboys sam howell obviously back up money giovante williams re-signs a three-year deal

which is significant uh george pickens gets a franchise tag also significant matt hennessee a center

pick. That is a very good discount. D. Lyman, Otito Ogbonia signs a one-year $3 million contract,

0:55.0

cornerback Kobe Durant, a signed a free agency deal for one year,

0:59.0

and they got two safeties, Jalen Thompson on a three-year deal

1:02.0

with the maximum of $36 million, which is not so bad.

1:06.0

They really needed to help there, and then safety PJ Locke signs a one year five million dollar deal.

1:12.9

They hammered at their biggest problem. They brought in, they brought back a running back.

1:18.4

They at least got George Pickens in for another year, which is almost better than having him

1:22.4

signed because he can compete still and not just get lazy off a contract.

1:26.9

Me and you've talked about that on a previous show we just said together. And then on top of that, they got a lot of defense. Yeah. I mean, and you got to keep in mind, too, this was a team that was in on the Max Crosby sweepstakes too before that deal happened with Baltimore and then eventually fell out. This was one of the teams that I think a lot of people felt like there was going to be some ripple effects for because they made that Gary trade as a consolation prize because they missed out on Crosby. So it's going to be interesting to see how they continue to address this. I think this is a team that still could use another edge rusher. I think they could use a linebacker on this defense as well. And they could definitely be a team that looks at defensive tackle too. Javante Williams coming back. That's big for me on the offensive side of the ball because I thought he played really well. This was the best case scenario for Javante. I thought it worked. Why not run it back? And they ended up getting the money that made it work overall. So this is definitely a team that still's probably going to need to go get some stuff at defense in the NFL draft.

2:19.3

You could even use like a cornerback to replace the Trevin Diggs departure that they had earlier last off season as well.

2:26.3

Trevon Diggs is borderline addition by subtraction, how poorly he played, but you are 100% correct.

2:35.1

And they've made some moves where they traded away some other guys that kind of,
