2023 NFL Draft Review. Guest: NFL.com Lead Draft Writer Eric Edholm

  • Summary

  • This episode features a detailed review of the latest NFL Draft, with NFL.com Lead Draft Writer Eric Edholm as a guest. Eric's been covering the NFL for more than two decades at The Sporting News, Pro Football Weekly and Yahoo!Sports.

    Segment 1: 0:40, Which NFL Teams Helped Themselves The Most: Eric mentions the Eagles, Cardinals, Seahawks and Colts among others. He also liked the Lions draft more than many analysts, and shared some thoughts on the Packers' roster. Which team received Eric's lowest grade? 

    Segment 2: 10:50, Biggest Surprises, Head Scratchers: His analysis points to a number of reaches for defensive tackles in the early rounds, more QBs (14) taken than expected, and the Raiders not selecting one offensive lineman with their nine picks though having a solid draft overall.  

    Segment 3: 22:42, New York Jets Draft Analysis and Insights. Grade: C+. First rounder Iowa State Edge Rusher Will McDonald IV went earlier than many predicted; 4th rounder Pittsburgh OT Carter Warren and 7th rounder Old Dominion TE Zach Kuntz were anticipated to be selected earlier, and he liked the selection of 5th rounder Pitt RB Israel Abanikanda, given Breece Hall is recovering from knee surgery.

    Segment 4: 36:00, AFC East Team Draft Review: Bills B+ (Utah TE Dalton Kincaid and Florida G O'Cyrus Torrence), Patriots B- (traded up in the 4th round for a kicker, plus selections including a punter), Dolphins C- (suggested the need for more offensive linemen, while acknowledging the team's limited options given only four draft picks this year given trades).
