    Hour 2: ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr, plus Power Ranking the NFL’s New Head Coach Hires

    ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. and Rich break down his latest mock draft and Big Board rankings of his top 25 players including how teams can mine the depth at wide receiver this year, why the Raiders would be getting a “guaranteed star” by drafting Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, if teams could trade up to select Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah or Ohio State S Caleb Downs, if Alabama QB Ty Simpson will get out of the first round, and how the Seahawks’ Super Bowl win could impact other teams’ draft strategies. Rich ranks the NFL’s recent head coaching hires in terms of the likelihood one of the ten can pull off a Mike Vrabel/Patriots-like turnaround and take their new team to the Super Bowl in year-one on the job. TJ and the guys react to John Cena’s appearance on the ‘No-Contest Wrestling’ podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
