-The Dolphins were the story of the draft going in, with 14 picks to use, and likely aiming to get a QB with one of their picks. What happened and does Jake approve at all or not? -Other big news from the draft…what were the surprises? Was the drama not as exciting as it could be without a live audience and it not being in Vegas? How much did that ruin the draft if at all? -Did this give us our first look at sports without fans? How did that feel? Show sponsored by CARTRIDGE WORLD

-Hindsight is 20/20, and back when Scott Frost chose Adrian Martinez over Joe Burrow, no one would have blinked at all. Since Martinez fell off last year and Burrow elevated to prominence, the story now looks bad for Frost…when it wasn’t really ever that way -Will this follow Nebraska for as long as Burrow is in the league? Doesn’t help that his new coach (Zac Taylor) is a Husker… Show sponsored by CARTRIDGE WORLD

-Last year, Iowa had two first round picks—both tight ends, at that (Noah Fant, TJ Hockenson). Last night, Tristan Wirfs went in the top 15, and AJ Epenesa didn’t go, but will go early 2nd round -As we’ve discussed the past few days, Nebraska is shut out again and has been since 2011. How much does it piss you off to see Iowa getting players drafted so highly? Look at their draft history the past few years. Dang. Before last night, they had 5 first round picks since 2012. Now add last night to it. Not cool. Show sponsored by CARTRIDGE WORLD

-Normally, we’d be talking about the first month of MLB and also the playoffs about to begin in the NBA right about now, as well as the draft -Now we have nothing else going on…are you invested in the draft or sick of all the hype already?

With fans or not? Yesterday we talked about how spring football could see reduced amount of top picks playing the season with the Draft soon to follow… Show sponsored by CARTRIDGE WORLD

Hopefully in that scenario there are fans in the stands…would you rather have a delayed season that still had all games played and with fans, or play the games at the normal dates and possibly without fans?
