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.
