Ep. 1003 - It’s an annual exercise on the Monday following the draft: the draft evaluation. What are people saying? What are people writing? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go over a lot of what’s been talked and written about by the many draft experts. Yes, there are grades given, but it’s more the analysis that Craig and Zach focus on, specifically about each of the first three picks made by GM Monti Ossenfort. In total, Ossenfort made seven selections over the three days of the 2026 NFL Draft; five offensive and two defensive players. Jeremiyah Love is the headliner, while Carson Beck may be the sub-headline; they are certainly the most discussed players coming out of the weekend.

A combination of news, analysis, storytelling and entertainment, Cardinals Cover 2 reaches from sideline to sideline and delivers Cardinals content to the avid fan year round. Our insiders break down the team’s performance, spotlighting its personalities and looking forward to the next matchup.

Ep. 1005 - If there’s one thing A.Q. Shipley knows, it’s football. A former player turned analyst, he joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck on Monday to discuss the 2026 NFL Draft. Shipley shared insights from covering the draft in Pittsburgh for The Pat McAfee Show and broke down the Cardinals’ seven selections over three days. Entering his second season as the team’s color analyst, Shipley is high on running back Jeremiyah Love and offensive lineman Chase Bisontis. He also expressed excitement about quarterback Carson Beck’s pro potential after witnessing his Offensive MVP performance in the Fiesta Bowl. Shipley wrapped up by offering advice to the rookie class as they prepare for minicamp later this week.

Ep. 1004 - If there’s one person - outside of his family, of course - who knows Jeremiyah Love more than most, then it’s got to be the person who recruited him and coached him for three years in college. That’s right, we’re talking about Marcus Freeman. The Notre Dame head coach joined Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman on Wednesday to talk about Love, first as a person then as a player; and listening to Coach Freeman, there isn’t anything Love can’t do on the football field. Plus, Craig and Zach go over the seven undrafted rookies signed; the list includes an offensive lineman from the University of Arizona, an edge rusher who set a career-high in sacks last season, and a pair of Ole Miss teammates.

Ep. 1002 - Stick-and-pick. That’s how the Arizona Cardinals handled Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. So, for the first time as general manager, Monti Ossenfort did not play let’s make a deal. Rather, he made four selections: Southeastern Louisiana defensive lineman Kaleb Proctor (4th round), Texas Tech wide receiver Reggie Virgil (5th round), Iowa linebacker Karson Sharar (6th round), and Ole Miss offensive lineman Jayden Williams (7th round). Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman - once again the show goes Cover 3 - discuss each of the four players individually before turning their attention to the entire seven-player draft class; five offensive players and two defensive players, quite the switch from a year ago.
