draft projections

  • ESPN projects Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson to go late in the first round, or maybe the second round in this Thursday’s NFL Draft. Analysts reportedly describe him as a “boom or bust” developmental talent who may go as early as number two for the Steelers or number forty four for the Jets. Among quarterbacks, Simpson is second only to Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, who represents a overlooked class of athletes.
  • Sports Minded host Brittany Young and guest Rashad Milligan - Senior Audience Editor for Sports at nola.com - discuss whether the Unrivaled league has been what they've expected so far, WNBA free agency, the future of the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun and 2025 draft projections.
