Podcast appearances and mentions of Trent Williams

Former 49ers director of player personnel and, most recently, general manager of the Tennessee Titans Ran Carthon sat down with "49ers Talk" co-host Jennifer Lee Chan to dissect the most pressing needs on San Francisco's offseason agenda. As a former front-office stalwart, Carthon takes us behind the scenes of the 49ers' braintrust and provides a unique perspective on how they evaluate talent and negotiate contracts, as well as their overall vision for roster construction. Next, Jennifer and NFL broadcaster Andrew Siciliano discuss the ways the 49ers could approach their biggest needs this offseason -- whether through free agency or the draft -- and how the 49ers can reconcile the rise in the NFL salary cap and players' salary demands with their overall strategy of getting younger and more affordable at impact positions throughout their roster.

The Detroit Lions Podcast lit the fuse on NFL Combine week with real news and real stakes. On Bish & Brown, Scott Bischoff, Russell Brown, and Chris reacted in real time to Taylor Decker signaling Year 11, then zeroed in on what the combine means for Detroit and this draft class. Decker's Year 11 and What It Means at Tackle Mid-show, Decker posted “Year 11” with a tunnel photo. The room shifted. His return stabilizes left tackle and the Lions' core up front. It does not end the draft conversation at offensive tackle. The hosts said pick 17 could still be in play, citing Monroe Fraley out of Georgia as a target they have championed. Depth, succession planning, and premium position value keep the door open. Trent Williams chatter framed the urgency earlier. Decker's post clarified the baseline: Detroit can build from strength instead of scrambling at a cornerstone spot. Defense on the Clock, Injuries in View The offseason remains complex. The discussion turned to veterans like Graham Glasgow and David Montgomery, and the ripple effects of injuries on defense. The Lions may not have Kirby Joseph or Ryan Branch to start the year. That uncertainty shapes free agency and draft priorities. The hosts stressed that this week is a launch point, not a finish line. Decisions on defense will hinge on medical timelines and what value appears after the combine testing and interviews. Combine Week: Drills, Data, and Day-Two Targets This is a true preview. Not every prospect will run or test. Some will skip the 40 yard dash. Others will pass on bag drills or the three cone drill. The hosts plan to stack 10 to 12 players each, from top names to day two guys, and let the tape and testing meet in the middle. Thursday will reveal who works and who waits for pro day. Spotlight: Jeremiah Love's Rare Movement Skills Potentially the top player in the draft depending on who you ask, Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love drew a long look. One host admitted there is no path to Detroit for him, but the evaluation matters. Love is different. Lateral quickness. Smooth stride. He glides and explodes. He was used more down the field in the passing game this year and looks like a three down, workhorse type. The measurables feel secondary because the movement is so clean, but the compare-and-contrast on change of direction against this running back class will be telling. He is viewed as far and away the superior runner in the group. That context helps calibrate the board for where the Lions do shop on days two and three. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflscoutingcombine #taylordeckeryear11 #trentwilliamsbuzz #grahamglasgow #davidmontgomery #kirbyjosephinjury #ryanbranchinjury #daytwoguys #40yarddash #threeconedrill #bagdrills #jeremiahlovenotredame #offensivetackleatpick17 #monroefraleygeorgia Learn more about your ad choices.
