Hoops Tonight - GAME 4 REACTIONS: LeBron & Lakers vs. Durant & Rockets + Celtics-76ers, Spurs-Blazers, Cavs-Raptors

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff breaks down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft and what their selections say about the team’s direction moving forward. Did they do enough to stay competitive in a loaded AFC, or are there still major questions to answer? John also revisits the Rams’ decision to take Ty Simpson, diving into how he fits in Los Angeles and what the pick means for the future of the franchise. Plus, a full look at the San Francisco 49ers’ draft—how they approached their roster needs and whether they did enough to keep their Super Bowl window wide open. Later, the SEC once again leads the way with the most players selected in the NFL Draft. John discusses what continues to separate the conference and why it remains the premier pipeline to the league. From certain team breakdowns to big-picture draft trends, 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. Colin begins by arguing that GM Brett Veach of the Chiefs drafts predictably & he can’t figure out 49ers GM John Lynch, and John explains that Lynch doesn’t run the 49ers draft… head coach Kyle Shanahan does (3:00). They discuss the backlash to the  Bears taking speedster Zayvian Johnson and Colin explains that if any coach picked him, it may not be a great pick…but with Ben Johnson as coach it can work (9:00).  They move to the Rams & Colin argues that while their draft won’t grade well… outside of Ty Simpson, the Rams are drafting for the near term while they still have Matt Stafford and John believes Simpson wasn’t talented enough to justify the 13th pick (15:00). Colin believes the Raiders crushed the draft and Fernando Mendoza could change the trajectory of the franchise (25:00), and they discuss the impact of NIL creating less seasoned, older prospects with multiple years of high-end college football experience in the later rounds (28:30).  They break down the Chiefs draft and why it made total sense for them to draft 3 defensive players with their three Top 40 picks (31:30), and Colin lauds the Cowboys for focusing on improving their defense as well by getting the steal of the draft in Caleb Downs (37:00).  They debate whether Carson Beck will see the field for the Cardinals in his first season (45:00), and they each predict four teams that didn’t make the playoffs last season that will make the playoffs in 2026 (48:00).  Finally, they react to the Steelers choosing Penn State quarterback Drew Allar (54:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
