Irish Breakdown Irish Breakdown, Blue Wire

Rapid Fire topics include:
* How has Marcus Freeman grown the most as a head coach in his two-plus years at Notre Dame?
* Predictions on what round Joe Alt, Audric Estime, Blake Fisher, Cam Hart, Sam Hartman, Marist Liufau, JD Bertrand, and Javontae Jean-Baptiste will go in this weekend's NFL Draft.  
* The Chicago Bears hold the No. 1 pick in the draft. Bears GM Ryan Poles said this earlier this week "We know what we're going to do, but everyone is going to have to wait until Thursday to go there." Is there any way they do anything other than picking Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick?
* Over/Under...5.5 quarterbacks selected within the first 15 overall picks tonight. 
* The NFL Draft is the biggest sporting event of the year that doesn’t involve an actual game being played. College football has nothing like it. Is there something college football could create to take place in the offseason that could generate some buzz?
* Starter jackets were the rage in the late ‘80s and into the ‘90s. On a scale of 1 to 10...How much would you like to see the silky-smooth Starter jacket make a comeback?

Rapid Fire topics include:
* Notre Dame quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli shares his thoughts on the competitiveness of freshman quarterback CJ Carr and we share our thoughts on the importance of that intangible trait.  
* Someone did a mock-up of an all-black Notre Dame uniform with gold numbers and shared it on X/Twitter. Buy or Sell Notre Dame using a black alternate uniform color scheme?
* Fill-in the blank...Notre Dame women’s basketball player KK Bransford pulling her name out of the transfer portal and staying at Notre Dame is BLANK.
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the Heisman trust has decided to give Reggie Bush his 2005 Heisman Trophy back.
* Former Notre Dame commit Dylan Edwards is in the transfer portal after a year with Coach Prime at Colorado. Would you Buy or Sell Edwards at Notre Dame?
* The Chicago Bears have not only the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft...they also have the No. 9 pick. Should they trade up...trade down...or stand pat and what position should they take with the pick? 
* Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers have the No. 5 overall pick in the draft. The Opening line had them at 100 to 1 odds to take a quarterback with that pick. Tuesday it was at 15 to 1 and this morning the odds were down to just 6 to 1. What do you make of this? 
* Listener questions about Riley Leonard and the Irish quarterback room confidence.
