Either way, on Tuesday, I welcomed National Small School writer Matt Elder of Examiner.com onto the podcast to discuss all the prevailing storylines heading into next week. We spent nearly an hour talking NFL Draft, discussing some of the following topics:
- “With the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select…” In other words, who Matt thinks Carolina should take with the first pick, and they will take with the first pick.
- If character issues with quarterbacks Cam Newton and Ryan Mallett are valid, and whether they should impact their draft stock.
- How Blaine Gabbert might be a bit overvalued entering the draft based on the system he played in at Missouri.
- Why defensive players like Marcell Dareus, Von Miller and Nick Fairley might need to go the right “system,” to succeed.
- Why it’s dumb for NFL teams to pass on Patrick Peterson if he’s believed to be the best “football player,” in the draft.
- Matt breaks down a couple players from the FCS and Division II levels to keep an eye on heading into draft day
And much, much more…
To all the NFL fans out there, the draft might be the only football talk we have for awhile. So throw yourself into the discussion by joining Matt and Aaron, as they talk NFL Draft or more. Listen here on the website, or download straight from iTunes.
Enjoy!
