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.

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft.

They start with the Rams drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at pick #13 and why it was shocking for them to pick him so high after a limited sample size in college, but Colin argues if anyone can turn Simpson into a great quarterback…it’s Sean McVay (3:00).

Colin heaps praise on the Cowboys for drafting Caleb Downs and highlights the massive upgrades Dallas has made to their defense rather than paying Micah Parsons (10:30). They agree that the Bucs got great value in taking Reuben Bain at #15 after experts projected him as a top 10 pick (13:45).

They discuss the Chiefs moving up to #6 to take cornerback Mansoor Delane and both agree they had no issues with the trade up to get a much cheaper replacement for Trent McDuffie (15:00). Colin argues that both New York teams did well with their combined 4 first round picks and doesn’t see any busts in the group (23:00). 

They react to the Titans taking Ohio State WR Carnell Tate at #4, and John believes Tate was a massive reach and that Tate doesn’t have the elite upside that would justify such a high pick (26:00). They both believe that Kadyn Proctor is the most likely Top 15 pick to bust based on reports about his lack of work ethic (29:15). 

Colin predicts accurately that the Eagles would take USC wide receiver Makai Lemon after trading up, and says that it's the perfect move to patch the hole that will be left after the team trades AJ Brown (33:00). 

They discuss the overall quality of this first round draft class, note that it’s been very offensive line heavy and explain why you can’t go wrong drafting o-line in the first round (39:00). 

Finally, they discuss why the Big Ten is leaving the SEC in the dust when it comes to producing first round NFL talent and react live to the late first round picks for the Chargers, Cowboys & more (50:00+).
