Colin reacts to Shedeur Sanders' fall in the NFL draft and the Cleveland Browns finally drafting him in the 5th round.

He explains why Shedeur isn’t a good enough prospect to overcome the circus surrounding him, why his father Deion’s hubris hurt his draft stock, and why NFL teams don’t want a “celebrity quarterback” as their backup.

Timeline

4:00 Deion’s hubris didn’t help Shedeur’s draft stock

6:00 Shedeur wasn’t a good enough prospect to be making demands of NFL teams

7:45 “Quarterback Dad” is becoming “Pageant Mom” and hurts the kid

9:00 Multiple teams reported that Shedeur was bad in meetings and not engaged

10:30 Maturity and focus matter more for quarterbacks

13:45 Cleveland’s quarterback room is a mess

15:15 Shedeur is a good, not great prospect

17:00 Teams don’t want a “celebrity QB” as their backup

Colin’s top takes from the NFL Draft!

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft!

They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it (2:30). They debate whether Cleveland reached for DT Mason Graham at #5 and believe there’s a real chance the Jags pick they received could be a top 6 pick (6:30).

They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college (9:30).

They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10 (12:15).

They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense (23:00).

The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice (27:35), and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team” (30:00).

Finally they react with pure SHOCK that the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. (35:30)

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action.

They start with the Warriors stealing game one on the road from the Rockets, and why their playoff experience was able to negate the Rockets athletic advantage (4:00). They break down why this was one of Steph Curry’s most impressive playoff performances (8:30), why Steve Kerr is incredible at finding the right “winning” players to surround their stars (11:30) and why Jimmy Butler is the perfect “get a bucket” guy they needed (13:30).

They pivot to the Lakers laying an egg in game 1 against the Timberwolves and Colin criticizes LeBron, Luka and co for their lack of intensity and energy (25:30). They give kudos to the Wolves for throwing a great opening round punch, and contrast Ant Edwards improvement to Ja Morant’s regression (31:00).

They move on to the Nuggets and why Denver’s reliance on Jokic to run the entire offense hamstrings his ability to be effective on defense, and Jason emphasizes why the Nuggets don’t have a choice to do it any other way (34:15). They point out the issues with the Clippers disjointed playmaking (36:15) and give credit to Russell Westbrook for the energy he brings to the floor(38:45)

Colin highlights all the seasoned veterans on both squads and why it’s going to make for an incredible, physical series (48:00)!

Finally, they predict a couple series sweeps (56:00), Colin offers some optimism about the Orlando Magic, and looks at a Houston/Kevin Durant pairing as a potential match made in heaven (1:00:30).

Colin gives his instant reaction to Nuggets vs Clippers and Lakers vs Timberwolves!

He starts with the Wolves physically bullying the Lakers and the Lakers being unable to adjust, but expects the Lakers to bounce back and play aggressively going forward in the series. He explains why the Wolves transition game overwhelmed the Lakers and why Anthony Edwards deserves a ton of credit for improving his game.

Then he pivots to Nuggets/Clippers and weighs in on why playoff basketball is officiated differently and far more physical than the regular season. He details why this game was a perfect example of the full “Russell Westbrook” experience filled with ups and downs… but why Russ was a big reason the Nuggets were able to get the win.

He explains why the Nuggets ability to get second chances and offensive rebounds was key to the Nuggets win, and why Kawhi Leonard is an incredible player…but not a leader, and why Westbrook was the story of the game.

3:00 Wolves bullied the Lakers physically

6:00 Knicks were able to find intensity to come back, but the Lakers couldn’t

8:30 Wolves killed the Lakers in transition

9:15 Julius Randle has a ceiling but plays with great energy

10:30 Ant Edwards deserves a ton of credit

19:30 Playoff basketball is officiated differently, they swallow the whistle

23:00 Westbrook was key for the Nuggets

27:00Jokic is 2nd best center Colin has ever seen

29:00 Kawhi Leonard is fantastic player, but not a leader

31:30 Westbrook was the difference maker
