Tape Heads: Draft Season

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast wraps up the season with the top players and picks. Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss their favorite combinations of teams and players from the weekend.  Greg thinks the 2nd round starting with Logan Hall was very impressive.  George Pickens was Greg's highest rated WR and this Draft was deep at that position. The Chiefs aren't replacing Tyreek Hill, but Greg explains how Skyy Moore will fit with the team.  Onto the RB's, James Cook fits exactly what the Bills need and want.  Greg goes through the players and team combinations that he thinks will work out very well.  We wrap the season discussing Draft philosophies and how teams can still find talent in some undrafted players.

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast welcomes CBS NFL Analyst Charles Davis to the show.   Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss how QB's fell in the Draft and Charles believes teams just stuck to their evaluations.  Charles says the Draft reinforced the thinking of getting players to assist or stop the QB.  We turn to the impressive Draft for the Jets and how their players will impact this team.  The Eagles also grabbed our attention with Howie Roseman making deals throughout the night.  Charles tells us that Houston is his team that really pulled together a great draft without grabbing too many headlines. We wrap up with a look at Travon Walker going #1 and how he'll fit in the NFL. The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast recaps the first night of the NFL Draft looking back at all the Round One picks.  Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the pass game still being the #1 priority in the league, even when only one QB was taken.  Greg points out that the top picks were about protecting the passer, completing the pass, or stopping the pass.  The guys don't think it's right to grade drafts because every team has their own boards and hold players in different regards depending on their needs.  We discuss the talent drafted by both the Giants and Jets and the number of moves made after the first ten picks.  We wrap up looking ahead to the Second Round of the Draft and all the talent that's still available.

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast kicks off Draft Day with Former NFL GM Rick Spielman joining the show.  Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell ask about the timeline for the day and how teams handle their last hours before drafting.  Rick talks about the expectations of drafted players and what evaluations are still being made.  If you have the top pick, you want a franchise QB but since the Jaguars already have that you can either trade out or take the best available player.  Without a lot of QB's, Rick doesn't feel like there will be a lot of movement...but he does believe one of these QBs will be a surprise like Patrick Mahomes.  Rick likes the mentality of Malik Willis and how moments never seem too big for him.  We discuss how pass rushers will dominate this Draft early followed by the depth of WR's.  Rick gives us some surprise players that have impressed him and could end up being impact players.  We wrap up preparing for Thursday night and discussing how a player sliding down in the draft could ultimately be better for their careers.

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast continues Draft Week with Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discussing the Quarterbacks available and how their job description changes coming into the NFL.  College offenses have pass options that make things easier for QBs, but elite defenses in the NFL can make the transition almost impossible for some prospects.  Greg gives his final analysis of his top five QB prospects.  Teams needing a QB will have to decide between who has the highest ceiling verse who has the quickest ability to start.  We wrap up looking at what we expect teams to do in the Draft, but why a team like Seattle could be a total wildcard.

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast heads into Draft Week with Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discussing the top players that will be taken starting on Thursday.  Bob points out the WR depth this year and how many players at that position get taken in the Top 10.  Greg says George Pickens is the top WR talent, but big play possibilities is what teams are looking for.  Having WR's that can line up anywhere has also become key which is why Garrett Wilson can bring a lot to a team.   Onto other top names we'll hear in the first round, Greg explains why Travon Walker could be in the top three.  With so much talent available, but no clear superstars, we explore why 'team and scheme' is going to drive what happens in this Draft.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell welcome former Alabama/NFL QB Greg McElroy to the show.  We discuss the 'traits' that teams look for in a QB and how those look in college football.  Greg explains how most successful guys he's seen start with a mental makeup to navigate the process and gameday execution.  NFL Prospect Matt Corral is the QB that Greg has really been impressed with through his play and preparation.  A few guys in the Draft have the good traits, but almost all of them have faults as well.  A player like Malik Willis needs time and reps as he's a great athlete who needs to learn how to set his feet and not always be on the move.  Greg sees plenty of WR talent in this Draft and tells us why he wouldn't be spending any higher picks when there is value deep in the position. We wrap up with the different evaluations that some players get from different sources. The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast continues to prepare for the NFL Draft, which is now just a week away.  Hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell talk about Draft philosophies and how plans change as the Draft progresses.

Kentucky) and RB Tyrion Davis-Price. The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell welcome Draft Expert Mike Detillier to the show to discuss how the Draft and player evaluation has changed over the last 30 years.  Mike tells us where teams are right now in their Draft Boards and how information can change a team's priorities.  There are very few secrets these days in evaluations, but Mike explains how a head coach that needs to win now can change a draft course for a franchise.  We turn to the best prospects in the SEC that will be the difference makers in the NFL.  Mike thinks Derek Stingley was one of the most talented players ever at LSU, but his health questions slides him down the Draft Board.  We wrap up discussing the NFL coaching players will be getting and how that can smooth the rough edges of a prospect and help them fit into a franchise system.   The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Looking at some of the prime prospects, Greg points out that most of them didn't play often on 3rd downs with distance.  Depending on the needs of the team, it will be interesting to see where these prospects come off the Draft board.  We turn to the prospects like Jordan Davis, Travon Walker, Devonte Wyatt, DeMarvin Leal, Phidarian Mathis, Matthew Butler, and Neil Farrell.

Corners are now going to be expected to line up and play the press. Now that RPO is so prevalent, there had to be changes in not only planning but defensive responsibilities.  We dive into defensive players like Aidan Hutchinson, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Jermaine Johnson, George Karlaftis, Davis Ojabo, Ahmad Gardner, Derek Stingley, Trent McDuffie, Kaiir Elam, and Kyler Gordon.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the amount of time and effort that goes into a full evaluation of a player.  Before the NFL Draft, Greg explains how each position is evaluated differently and how DB's are the most difficult player to fully analyze.  The NFL has become all about creating explosive plays on offense and trying to stop them on defense.  Onto the players, we look at Daxton Hill, Quay Walker, Tyquan Thorton, Chad Muma, Jermaine Johnson, Neil Farrell, Arnold Ebiketi, and Kyle Phillips.  We also discuss the evaluation process of a good player that's not on a great team.  The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell welcome Kentucky OC Rich Scangarello to the podcast. We discuss seeing players at the combine and how much stock NFL teams put into strictly what they're seeing there. As a long-time NFL coach, Rich explains how offenses have changed and how QB's have changed based on what's being asked of them on the field. This isn't being looked at as a deep QB draft, but Rich thinks a QB going a bit later in the Draft to a better team could help that player become a better QB. We also discuss Kentucky QB Will Levins and what Rich expects to see from him next season. Bob and Greg continue the discussion on seeing a College QB try to make that transition to the NFL and why the skills sometimes don't translate to the pros. Rich's thoughts also make us look at this class of QBs differently and explains why Kenny Pickett still tops the list of prospects.The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.

We're talking Running Backs in this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast. Hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell explore what the RB position is right now in the NFL and what's expected from the College prospects. Bob wonders about the value of a RB and how today's player is asked to be far more versatile on the field. Even a good running back is facing a shorter shelf life in the NFL and most teams are contemplating value by a player's second contract with the team. Turning to the players, we look at Greg's evaluations of: Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker, Isaiah Spiller, James Cook, Tyler Allgeier, Rachaad White, Snoop Conner, Jerome Ford, Brian Robinson Jr., Kyren Williams, Dameon Pierce, and Zamir White.The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the ups and downs of the NFL Combine.

Bob asks if Kyle Hamilton could be a unicorn in the draft and what teams are discussing when his name comes up. We finally have answers when it comes to Kenny Pickett's hand size and Greg takes us into the discussions teams are having over the QB.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the expectations of Wide Receivers at the Combine. Some coaches would love to see helmets and pads added to running routes and for time. Greg says teams look for vertical receivers, which doesn't come from being fast. Players have been more athletic and explosive with so many training advances, but that may not always transfer to football. Teams are putting together offenses that use WR's in several different ways, so the position needs to be more versatile than ever. We evaluate Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Treylon Burks, Drake London, Chris Olave, George Pickens, Jahan Dotson, David Bell, Justyn Ross, and Khalil Shakir. Greg looks at the occasions when a Combine performance is disappointing and how teams can still see positives from a player.

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the foundation of what NFL teams will be looking for from their QB's.

Teams will get precise sizes of players this week and will have to try and determine which one will adapt to their systems. We look at breakdowns for prospects like Ken Pickett, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell, Carson Strong, and Malik Willis.

In the latest episode of the Tape Heads podcast, hosts Dan Orlovsky, Bob Wischusen and Scott Pioli discuss how the Bengals offense will match up against the Rams defense. Dan thinks this will be greatest challenge that Joe Burrow has faced all season long. We've seen other teams push the Cincinnati offensive line around and Burrow bail them out, but the Rams will be able to chase Burrow around. The status of TE CJ Uzomah is going to make a big difference in the Bengals plan. Scott thinks the Rams should try to make adjustments shortly before halftime to leave the Bengals questioning what they're going to see in the second half. Joe Mixon is going to be a big part of Zac Taylor's plan...early and often...and the commitment to be consistent with the running game could decide the game.The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.

Stafford has proved himself in a spot that he never had the chance to play in before. The 49ers were trying to match up man for man against the Rams and had growing issues as the game progressed. Dan wonders why San Fran couldn't dial it up because Jimmy Garoppolo had opportunities that he missed.
