Excited to watch, Tyler Nubin is Saftety 1 imo. Assuming DeJean stays at CB

[@roccodemaro4305]

Field - you seem like a great guy. You are doing too much speaking my man. The ppl want to hear from Mel. It feels like a 70/30 split of your speaking vs Mel’s now that Todd is gone :/ You’ve gone to great lengths in each ep to position Mel as the reason the draft industry exists, and then the shows are mostly the thoughts & words of Field Yates. He’s the franchise, as you say. So maybe tweak your prep in a way that better supports Mel’s experience & expertise. At minimum, I’d say you want Mel doing 60% of the speaking in these shows. Good luck, and please keep up the good work!

Bro I’ve literally said the same thing 🤣 I legit brought up Todd too, I was like look respect for branching off of fantasy focus and doing all this now that ESPN has you working double time for probably a minimal increase or heaven forbid the same pay, but I mean can we keep the main thing the main thing? 💯

[@BoomorBust]

Dang Mel ain't the only one who knows scouting lol. Let that man cook. Feels 50-50 to me personally.

[@MegaMadDog88]

I totally agree with y'all man. It definitely feels Field takes twice as long to speak as MKJ does. It's either that or MKJ says his piece in let's say 50 to 100 word summary. Field is easily that multiplied by 100.😂

[@BoomorBust]

I'm curious as to why y'all think the position value for safety has shifted so much in the last 10 years and what value do you place on the position?

[@adams8585]

Bring back Todd!

[@lennyz1909]

Tyler Nubin wish to the Bears. He lives in my neighborhood.

[@KnightOwl-kn6gm]

Whichever genius had the idea to get rid of "Todd - Todd - Todd" needs to get fired. You split up the dynamic duo and now this show feels completely different. Kiper should tell ESPN to go fook themselves and start his own podcast.

[@BoomorBust]

A combine performance should not result in a multi-round shift in evaluation.

[@kyloren-cd8dk]

It happened for Anthony Richardson🤷‍♂️

[@BoomorBust]

@@kyloren-cd8dk I don't think that's the case with Richardson, plus the key is "should not" lol.

[@kyloren-cd8dk]

KC has been carried by their #1 defense not Mahomes

[@julianwatts9024]

Making dejean change to safety is the equivalent of teams wanting to make Lamar a wr. It’s purely based off of the color of his skin

[@ShoeCrewTV]

Nobody taking this superbowl seriously everyone moved on to next season it was lack luster.

[@tweekee100]

Must be that sad not having your team in the biggest stage of national football 😢😢

[@MegaMadDog88]

I'm right there with both of y'all. I'm a Patriots fan and seeing how booty cheeks, they've been since Coach Belichick booted TB12 out the back door, has been an adjustment period. I'm excited for Coach Mayo and his new staff (now Dont'a Hightower too) and I'm so hopeful for a new rookie QB. I wouldn't mind MHJ but if any other Pats fans think that he or an OT at #3 will totally change the franchise, they're fooling themselves. MHJ, Alt or Fashanu would only be able to do so much until NE gets an actual franchise QB.

[@michaelduran846]

I'm taking it seriously

[@ryanwhite9437]

Cuz everybody is more interested in seeing if the chiefs can 3 peat or not

[@ChristopherPorter-n7r]

Mel picked against the Chiefs every game....and add him to the list of idiots

[@mitchking4800]

50 to 100 years from now everyone will be saying how trash Montana, Brady, and Mahomes were and whomever is the new hot QB will be said is the greatest of all time. Never fails the media needs to keep creating debates out of nothing to keep them relevant and having something to talk about.

[@ChristopherPorter-n7r]

Mahomes is the best. Just not the most accomplished. I bet you think Aikman was better than Manning because he has more rings...
