Andy Staples On3 On3

Andy and Philip Dukes break down the first round of the NFL draft. Dukes is Atlanta born and bred, so he has many, many thoughts on the Falcons taking Michael Penix Jr. after just signing Kirk Cousins in free agency.

But first, On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins us for a transfer portal update. And the portal has been busy. On Wednesday, Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller announced his intention to enter the portal. This is another player of consequence entering the portal. The question now is which non-SEC team will land Miller. Also, former Penn State receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith committed to Auburn.

Now it’s time for your questions, including a leadoff question that is sure to ignite debate…

In honor of Reggie Bush getting his Heisman Trophy back, does Reggie have the greatest high school highlight video of all time? Andy will rank the top 10.

Also in honor of Bush getting his Heisman back, what other sports wrongs need to be righted?

It’s draft night, and a viewer wants to know how Andy would build a team if he were an NFL general manager.

Another viewer wants Andy to match perfect players with perfect teams/situations in the draft.

Also, how will weather affect first-round College Football Playoff games?

We’re a day away from the NFL draft, so it’s time for Andy to break down his mock draft. But first, there’s a lot of transfer portal news.

The most interesting name is Dylan Edwards, the Colorado tailback who led the Buffaloes in rushing last season. Edwards was one of Deion Sanders’ first big flips, choosing Colorado over Notre Dame out of high school. But now Edwards plans to hit the portal. Where will he go? We’re not quite sure, but Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson posted a photo of he and Edwards playing together in pee-wee football.

Next, Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton have things to argue about. Andy released his mock draft, while Jesse released his All-College Football team of potential NFL draftees.

Jesse also revealed his top 25 college football coaches this week. That topic certainly won’t create any debate in the chat.

Yes, Caleb Williams was always that good. But he wasn’t the top-ranked quarterback in the recruiting class of 2021. (That guy is still in college.) Meanwhile, J.J. McCarthy was as polarizing a college recruit as he is a potential NFL draft pick.

On3 director of ranking Charles Power and national scout Cody Bellaire join Andy to share stories about the players who will be drafted beginning this Thursday when they were high schoolers trying to choose where they would play their college ball.

Cody, who used to work in the personnel department at LSU, offers a plausible alternate history where Williams winds up in Baton Rouge playing for Ed Orgeron. Charles discusses how low-key Jayden Daniels' recruitment to Arizona State was. Charles also explains how the Joe Alt who came out of high school in Minnesota was not nearly as easy to project as the version of Alt who is leaving Notre Dame and heading to anchor some NFL team’s offensive line for the next 10 years.

Plus, the guys pay tribute to the Patron Saint of Projection — former TCU coach Gary Patterson.

(0:00-9:07) Intro - Texas Spring Game

(13:16-17:09) USC Spring Game
(17:10-18:45) Transfer Portal Update - Cormani McClain
(18:46-38:31) Pete Nakos Joins to recap the overall transfer portal
(38:32-59:39) Trevor Sikkema Joins to preview the NFL Draft
(59:40-1:02:13) Conclusion

Another set of spring games is over, and it’s time to TOTALLY OVERREACT ABOUT ARCH MANNING. Sure, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made it abundantly clear that Quinn Ewers is the Texas starter and that he just really wanted to give Manning a chance to play significant snaps in the spring game. But that’s not how the Internet works, Sark.

Meanwhile, Michigan wrapped spring practice, and it appears the Wolverines’ QB competition will come down to Alex Orji and Davis Warren — unless Michigan coaches decide to dip into the transfer portal for a QB. So far, no QB that would appear worthy of Michigan’s starting job has entered the portal.

That brings us to a transfer portal update from On3 national writer Pete Nakos. The weekend brought a lot of official visits, a few commitments and a few new entries.

Next, Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus joins to break down Thursday’s NFL Draft. Trevor is a massive college football fan who also happens to be a draft analyst, and he’ll help explain some of the more interesting swings in draft conventional wisdom. For instance, former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is now being mocked as a likely top-10 pick. How did he climb draft boards so fast?

(0:00-4:06) Introduction
(4:07-15:28) Transfer Portal Update - Jaden Rashada
(15:29-21:50) Damien Martinez Visit
(21:51-37:37) LSU WR Coach and Co-Offensive Coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. Joins
(37:38-1:03:22) On3's National Scout Cody Bellaire Joins to discuss how the transfer portal ACTUALLY works
(1:03:23-1:04:55) Conclusion

The transfer portal is expecting a very interesting entrant soon. Quarterback Jaden Rashada, whose original signing with Florida disintegrated after a collective reneged on a contract that purported to be worth $13.8 million over four years, is leaving Arizona State after one season in Tempe. Where might he wind up? On3’s Pete Nakos reported he possibly could be headed to an SEC school.

Next, LSU receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. joins the show. Hankton will be in the green room at the draft next week with former Tigers receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who are expected to be picked in the first round. Hankton, who came to LSU from Georgia and who could have as many as six former players drafted next week, discusses how those two developed into first-rounders.

Later, On3 national scout Cody Bellaire explains how college personnel departments are handling the transfer portal window. Bellaire, who worked in the personnel departments at LSU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, breaks down exactly how the process works from a player deciding to enter the portal to choosing a new school.
