John discusses why the Broncos deserve credit for dealing draft picks to land Sean Payton, and why it’s worth the risk for Payton, if he can turn around Russell Wilson after a disaster season, and why he’s a believer in DeMeco Ryans turning around the dysfunctional Texans. He gives Tom Brady some due respect after his second retirement announcement, and explains why he was never going to the Niners, why a Rodgers/Packers divorce finally feels like a done deal, and why Jerry Jones went all-in on Mike McCarthy.

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff breaks down a wild NFL Draft slate starting with the Los Angeles Rams selecting Ty Simpson at No. 13. Is he the long-term answer under center, and what does the pick say about the Rams’ direction?

John also dives into the Tennessee Titans’ connection to Carnell Tate and how he could fit into their offense, before taking a closer look at the New York Giants’ overall draft approach and what they’re trying to build.

Plus, the Kansas City Chiefs make another aggressive move, trading for an LSU corner—how it strengthens an already loaded roster and what it means for the AFC. And one of the more surprising storylines: Reuben Bain sliding all the way to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Did Tampa just land one of the steals of the draft?

From bold QB decisions to late-round value and team-building strategies, it’s all covered on this episode of 3 & Out.
