On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to sort through the week in NFL mock draft for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy's team. Is Ty Simpson starting to fade as a favorite choice for experts like Mel Kiper Jr. and Tom Fornelli? Have Vega Ioane and Omar Cooper Jr. begun to emerge as the most common choices with a little less than a week to go before teams make their selections? Are the Steelers serious about projected Day 2 QBs like Cole Payton, Drew Allar, Carson Beck and Taylen Green? Especially with Aaron Rodgers yet to decide if he will return in 2026? Will the Steelers have to take Keylan Rutledge in the second round if they want him? Why has Pitt's Kyle Louis remained a consistent later-round choice for experts? And why do right tackles like Blake Miller continue to show up in mocks despite Troy Fautanu's secure hold on that position? Our duo tackles those questions and more as they ponder who will join stars like Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., T.J., Cam Heyward and DK Metcalf on the team's roster.

-CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli labeled Colandrea as “The Whoopsy Daisy King” when he was at Virginia---pointing out a high fumble/INTrate while also producing big plays….and that's why a lot of Husker fans see a Jeff Sims 2.0 situation in Lincoln with Colandrea-It's not healthy to live like that, though, especially with the season 5 months away…so how can you coach that out of him?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The 8am hour of Friday's Mac & Cube continued with a look at teams that are trending up & down heading into the 2026 season; then, Tom Fornelli, from CBS Sports & On3, tells us the mindset behind the choices in his 2026 NFL Mock Draft, where he sees Ty Simpson being drafted, and why Fernando Mendoza going #1 overall is a no-brainer; later, Cole & Greg try to understand why a snapping turtle was at a Mardi Gras parade; and finally, we figure out which animals we would rather have at a parade instead of a snapping turtle.

CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli reports that a good portion of Maryland fans believed there was a strong chance Franklin could be the next coach for the Terrapins before accepting the VA Tech job---he did spend 8 years as an assistant under Ralph Friedgen there and was deemed the ‘coach in waiting' before leaving for Vanderbilt in 2010 Lots has changed since 2010, so it's no surprise he's not ending up there…but that's some pain for that fanbase   Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

DJ & PK talked about the reason(s) for CBS Sports anlayst and writer Tom Fornelli to rate Utah higher than BYU in his power rankings.

CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli has expressed many times this year that he's “annoyed” by Raiola---because he doesn't think he's a fundamentally sound player and is wasting having one the most talented arms in the country Fornelli writes that some of the sacks he takes are products of his desire to make a play happen off-script; and also, instead of moving up in the pocket, he moves backwards or tries to roll to his left/right, only to end up in the arms of a defender  Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Fornelli points out that Curt Cignetti should be the top target—and that he'd likely turn it down---and that he does expect Rhule to be the head coach…but points out the same thing all the detractors do on Rhule (2-25 vs. the Top 25) Who would be better viable options?

CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli did his weekly B1G breakdown and pointed that that—even though it's early in the season---the B1G has the top 5 QBs of passer rating in the nation. Those QBs in order are: Jayden Maiava, Fernando Mendoza, Julian Sayin, Demond Williams and Dante Moore. Not to mention that Dylan Raiola is 14th, Luke Altmyer is 15th, and Aidan Chiles is 18th  That also stacks up with current Heisman odds, as Mendoza is the favorite (!!!), Moore is 3rd, and Maiava/Sayin/Allar are all currently Top 16 in odds at 25-to-1 or better Also, TREKKING TUESDAY (a day late) sponsored by Meindl USA—best outdoors story gets a $50 gift card to Meindl! Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mitch and Connor commiserate over the end of the Royals season, his beef with Tom Fornelli, the Mahomes/Raiola thing, the QB comp for Dylan, the run game, and what Nebraska can do in the next chunk of games

Tom Fornelli said on his podcast that Michigan QB Bryce Underwood was a better QB at this point than Dylan Raiola, Connor disagrees. PLUS...did Connor pay football knowers to retweet him?

Tom Fornelli does an excellent job covering the B1G and college football in general---in his weekly write-up, he posts that under Sherrone Moore, Michigan has failed to get over 300 yards of offense in 10 of his 15 games coached….while under Jim Harbaugh, it happened just 4 times in 45 games…..HELLO Also, in a (kind of) joking way, Fornelli wonders if Penn State let the wrong QB go, seeing Beau Pribula put up big numbers at Missouri compared to a pedestrian start for Drew Allar…is there any part of that theory you might buy?   Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

To no one's surprise, the panel of 9 CBS Sports writers had either Penn State or Ohio State winning the conference…but one take by Tom Fornelli was of interest Fornelli said the B1G will be much stronger top-to-bottom this year than it was last year, and that will result in only 3 teams making the playoff instead of 4…because teams 4-10 will have a narrow gap that will cause them all to eat each other alive Our Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The show ended with Bill listing nominees and crowning this week's Bum of the Week.
