Rich prefers holding unless he can get Treveon Henderson straight up, noting Taylor's trade value still commands a 2027 first plus another asset. Matt leaned toward riding it out one more year in Indianapolis' offense. Josh Jacobs (28) earned unanimous "ride it out" verdicts. Rich emphasized Jacobs has been a perennial RB1 since entering the league, calling him "the Dak Prescott of running backs" in terms of consistent value and trade difficulty. The seven-year veteran entered the league at 20 and remains in his athletic prime despite heavy usage. Matt acknowledged nervousness but agreed one more year makes sense before selling. Brown's situation in Philadelphia creates uncertainty, but his talent keeps him WR10 overall. Rich named Ladd McConkey, Rome Odunze, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Garrett Wilson as lateral move targets if contenders want to get younger. Garret compared Brown to Mike Evans and Davante Adams—receivers everyone thinks are done before they actually are, projecting 2-3 more WR1 seasons. Chris Godwin (30) got unanimous "ride it out" tags. Rich sold him for a second in a rebuild but called it slight underselling. With Mike Evans likely gone and Godwin running 90% of routes post-injury, Tampa's offensive usage solidifies his 2026 value. The panel suggested buying Godwin for a mid-second as a contender. Dak Prescott (33) sparked debate about George Pickens' future impact on his value. All three hosts prefer holding unless they own multiple elite QBs, with Garret advocating for the "old boring quarterback" strategy of cycling through 30-34 year old QBs instead of paying premium prices for youth. Rich has preached trading firsts for 2-3 year veteran windows for 11 years. Kittle's 14.3 PPG (fourth among tight ends) doesn't offset availability concerns. Matt suggested targeting Tucker Kraft post-ACL as an exit, but Rich countered that no contender return fills the Kittle void. The only straight-up deal all three would accept: Harold Fannin, who Rich ranks closer to Colston Loveland than most realize. 00:00 Start 06:34 Get Out Early? 07:22 Jonathan Taylor 15:24 AJ Brown 27:07 Chris Godwin 30:07 Dark Prescot 39:09 Josh Jacobs 44:26 George Kittle Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley kick off today’s show with blank rundowns and a very tired, still-powerless Mike Evans. The guys take some texts about Stoke’s slow golfing party before they hear why Sean Payton is taking the Jags very seriously. The guys had Dan Orlovsky on the show yesterday and our ESPN Analyst had a warning for the Broncos defense. The 6am Duo highlight the heartwarming story behind an unknown Bronco’s very first TD to end the first hour.
Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth open the second hour filling Stink in on the power outage situation before they discuss the Broncos’ remarkable winning streak and the mental fortitude it takes to maintain that kind of success. Is Sean Payton coddling his players? The Drive thinks so, but our players educate the 7am listeners about coaching. Bo is awfully good on the run this early in his career, but is it really a surprise or is it a sign of the times? The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where “next man up” is a reality for the Broncos, the Jacksonville DB’s have hands, and Puka Nacua hates the refs.

A busy podcast begins with a review of the Thursday night game. We'll talk about Kyle Pitts going crazy and Mike Evans returning, plus we'll run down the injury names we'll be tracking heading into Week 15, and we'll make some DraftKings DFS lineups. And then? For our main event today, we'll take our very first try at producing a recommended first-round draft order for 2026! It's kind of meaningless, but pretty dang fun! Thanks for listening!
