Ep. 855 - In need of a defensive lineman? Or two? Want to upgrade the talent in the room? Add depth? Well, then you're in luck because the 2025 NFL Draft is loaded with prospects who can help a team, and maybe even help right away. At least that's the consensus from ESPN Draft Analysts Matt Miller and Jordan Reid, who joined both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the Scouting Combine last week in Indianapolis. In addition to hearing from Miller and Reid in separate interviews, Craig and Dani shout-out Ron Wolfley. He announced on Friday that he's stepping down as the Cardinals radio analyst after 20 years in the booth. It's a loss, it's a big loss. But good for Wolf.

Ep. 857 - Whether it's defensive end, defensive tackle or edge rusher - all perceived needs, by the way - the Cardinals will be able to find a player who can make an impact right away in this year's draft. At least that's the feeling from Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus, their lead NFL Draft analyst, who joined both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the Scouting Combine last week in Indianapolis. Sikkema, like most, is very high on the depth of the defensive line class. In addition to the draft, the conversation with Sikkema included his thoughts on last year's draft class and players like Max Melton and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson as well as Trey Benson who Sikkema believes can be part of "a great 1-2 duo" with James Conner.

Ep. 856 - Successful teams are good at the line of scrimmage. That's no surprise. It's also not a surprise that many believe the Cardinals will be active in trying to add to their offensive and defensive lines this offseason, and more specifically, during the 2025 NFL Draft. That was the focus of a couple of different conversations Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck had while at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week. First, they chatted with NFL Network Host Rhett Lewis, who raved about the hire of Justin Frye, a college teammate of his at Indiana. Then, Lance Zierlein, NFL Network Draft Analyst, stopped by to discuss Paris Johnson Jr. Darius Robinson, and why targeting the defensive front with the 16th pick makes the most sense.

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. 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. 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.
