Ep. 980 - Might the 2026 NFL Draft produce a surprise or two? And might that even happen at pick No. 3? Anything is possible, according to ESPN’s Field Yates, including drafting a quarterback. Yeah, he went there when he joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the 2026 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Yates had a good breakdown of Alabama’s Ty Simpson should Monti Ossenfort have, as Yates said, “strong conviction” to select a quarterback in the first round. There was also discussion on the potential of going offensive line or edge rusher, the depth of the draft class at wide receiver, and speaking of wide receiver, Yates is holding out hope he’s able to convince his expected wife to name their child Michael Wilson Yates.

Cardinals Cover 2 - ESPN's Field Yates: Expect A ‘More Unpredictable’ Draft This Year

Ep. 979 - Edge rusher. Offensive lineman. Those two positions have been the positions most linked to the Cardinals and their No. 3 pick. OK, so who then are the players that may be under consideration when the team is on the clock in April? Good question. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has the answer. He joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the 2026 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Jeremiah offered his perspective, his insights on the draft class overall plus he gave his thoughts on new head coach Mike LaFleur. Before that conversation, though, Craig and Dani discussed what’s been the buzz so far in Indy, and yes, it revolves around the quarterback position.

Ep. 978 - Two new coordinators and one familiar face were officially introduced Wednesday, as head coach Mike LaFleur presented his staff: Nathaniel Hackett (offensive coordinator), Nick Rallis (defensive coordinator), and Michael Ghobrial (special teams coordinator). Hackett and Ghobrial are new to the Cardinals, while Rallis will be entering his fourth season in charge of the defense. All three sounded enthusiastic. All three are eager to get to work. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they heard from each of the coordinators: Hackett is ready to serve as a sounding board for LaFleur, Rallis is grateful to be able to run it back after some self reflection, and Ghobrial believes “special teams is the purest form of football.”

Ep. 977 - Kyle Shanahan. Sean McVay. Two of the more influential people in the coaching career of Mike LaFleur. How much of what Shanahan does in San Francisco and McVay in Los Angeles be brought to Arizona? Great question. And we’re really not going to get an answer until games begin. But we can take a guess. That’s exactly what Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman did on Wednesday, when they spoke with Jourdan Rodrigue, Senior NFL writer for The Athletic. Rodrigue rejoins the show to discuss Mike as a person, Mike as a coach, and, maybe more importantly, Mike as a playcaller, especially with likes of Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. on his roster. Just incredible insight and information from a near 30-minute conversation with Jourdan.
