Ep. 853 - More than 300 draft prospects are in Indianapolis this week for the 2025 Scouting Combine. So how does one separate themself within their position group? This week can help, but it always comes back to the film. And what do teams look at when watching the tape? For Dane Brugler of The Athletic, it's more about their traits than how productive they were; in other words, don't focus solely on a player's statistics. Brugler joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from Indy to discuss the combine, the draft and what positions are the deepest, and where the Cardinals are positioned with their first-round pick; plus, a look back at last year's draft class of the Cardinals.

Ep. 854 - Twice last season Charles Davis watched the Cardinals play from the network TV booth at State Farm Stadium. He was on the CBS call for a win against the Chicago Bears in Week 9 and a loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. What did he see, what did he like, what does he feel is needed for the Cardinals to take the next step in Year 3 of GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon? Davis joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the 2025 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where he'll be part of the NFL Network's coverage. Davis also gave his thoughts on Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., and a secondary that is no longer just all about Budda Baker.

Ep. 852 - A year ago, the Cardinals picked fourth in the NFL Draft. This year, it's 16. The good news is that means the Cardinals had a better year than the season before. The bad news is they'll miss out on some of the top-tier college prospects. Fret not, though, Bird Gang. The Cardinals are still in a good spot to select a quality player, especially if the choice is a defensive player, according to NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, who joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from Indianapolis, site of the 2025 Scouting Combine. In addition to the draft, the conversation with Jeremiah included his thoughts on what he saw from the Cardinals in 2024. As the radio analyst for the Los Angeles Chargers, Jeremiah was on the call when the Chargers visited State Farm Stadium in Week 7.

Ep. 851 - Sounds familiar, right? Only one week on the job and the new Cardinals offensive line coach is already sounding like Jonathan Gannon. Why Justin Frye was hired became clear less than three minutes into his introductory press conference on Wednesday. Frye and Gannon share a common vision about the game of football. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they heard from Frye, his thoughts on the roster, his familiarity with a handful of players, and what it takes to block for a quarterback like Kyler Murray. Also, Daniel Jeremiah released his latest mock draft. Who does he have the Cardinals selecting with the 16th overall pick this time? And Zach has been busy with free-agent primers.

Ep. 850 - One month. We are one month away from the start of the free agency signing period. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman examine the names and look at the position groups that may see the most change. (Spoiler alert: The line of scrimmage and defensive front-seven feature the most players who potentially might hit the open market.) Also, the guys discuss some of the news and headlines that maybe got lost or overshadowed because of the Super Bowl; from what's going on within the NFC West to a couple of upcoming opponents in 2025 plus exactly what is the future of Aaron Rodgers and three of the biggest names who rush the quarterback: Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby, and Micah Parsons.

Ep. 849 - It's the one big takeaway from Super Bowl 59: games are won or lost at the line of scrimmage. And, really, that's nothing new. All 32 teams - not just the Philadelphia Eagles - try to win the line of scrimmage. No, what the Eagles showed is why teams prioritize (or should) the offensive and defensive lines whether that's in free agency or the draft. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look at what the Cardinals have at both spots and then discuss the decisions needed to be made by the front office this offseason. Also, they give their thoughts on the game, focusing on just how dominate the Eagles were against the Kansas City Chiefs, and might international travel be in the Cardinals' future?

Ep. 848 - What can the Cardinals learn when looking at the two Super Bowl participants? Specifically, in terms of the rosters of both the Chiefs and Eagles? Maybe the biggest lesson is this: The best path to success, and really sustained success, is through the draft. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi share the numbers to back up what fans have repeatedly heard from NFL GMs, including Monti Ossenfort, on just how important the NFL Draft is to building a team. Also, the guys discuss what they think will happen in Super Bowl 59, and they predict who will walk away winners during NFL Honors. FYI, Budda Baker and Trey McBride are finalists for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, respectively.

Ep. 847 - Without Budda and Trey who knows if the NFC would've been able to beat the AFC. Okay, maybe that's overstating things a bit. Still, Budda and Trey each had a hand in not only Sunday's game but also Thursday's competitions. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look back at what was a successful week in Orlando for the two Cardinals teammates. Also, the guys discuss the loss of offensive line coach Klayton Adams to the Dallas Cowboys; that is now official. What is not yet official - and right now only mentioned - is Adams' replacement and a reported new defensive line coach. Plus, it is Super Bowl week, and the week began with some major news out of Cleveland, which potentially could affect the Cardinals. Hmm.
