These have been great! Thanks Mina

Idk why people hate on Chris Simms and his takes. Yes they are not the traditional takes, but he watches films, values things that he does, and comes up with reasonable, coherent, and sound logic to back them up. Now you don't have to agree with his takes. Excellent combination of Mina + Chris - two of my favorite analysts.

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Lol...out of all the "analyst", he gets things way more right on his so called "wild takes" than others do on their simple consensus takes. ESPECIALLY when it comes to QBs. His take on Lamar in the draft was vastly different...and he was right, while everyone who put people like Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen over Lamar...look more and more silly every year. He actually uses context in his evaluations instead of being over-enamored with just stats & analytics which are way over sold in college when you playing against a lot of future personal trainers and accountants.

@@DorkJelly Ehh, Simms QB takes are great and above average, but his other position takes historically have proven to be pretty below average. There's some standouts though. His corner knowledge tends to be the best in the NFL. And he's had standout moments at other positions. I'm a big fan, but he's definetly proven to be significantly worse than other analysts outside of QB's. (And essentially no analyst is as good as consensus, or the NFL) [Just some are closer than others] It's just good to hear a different take. His is very *very* old school. And most of the old school guys are actually hot take artists. Simms isn't.

Mina's draft coverage has been great and Simms is her best guest yet.

These are such a good watch, much appreciated Mina

Mina is extremely talented, informative and entertaining always.

Thx 🙏 you 2 are a great combo Would love to get this package more often

This is a great angle for doing a mock pod. Love how Mina thinks. 👏🏻👏🏻

Mina's learning of the game and confidence over the years to discuss (and argue) X's and O's with former players and respected analysts (which she become) has just been inspiring to follow. Lots of hard work. Kudos.

That was a fun mock draft in the way how you did it and the choice of your guest. Liked.

Great format

This is a legit crossover! My 2 fav analysts

great show-best part about this is that they'r both realists who think things through with research and logic

I really enjoyed Mina and Simms... they pair up well. Her facial expressions to his replies crack my up.

Both the Bears GM and coach said they want a blue chip player at 9. They are not trading back if Odunze is there. And if he's not they're definitely not trading far far back.

Exactly... these people don't listen to what Poles clearly communicates. Most transparent GM we've ever had. He basically said this isn't the draft to trade back to get a bunch of later round picks because the talent drops off early with all these kids going back to school. Next year, when we have all our picks and a few more from other teams, aligns much better. This is a quality over quantity draft.

great show! I really loved this discussion! Two people who are experts worth listening to about football. As a Raider fan I liked that they showed Penix Jr available at #12 where Chris chose him for the Broncos. My guess is that in that situation the Broncos will pick JJ McCarthy leaving Penix for the Raiders.

Best part of this video was @34:25 when Chris passed on Brock Bowers again and Mina put the clipboard on her head 😂 it was so adorable

안녕하세요! Wow, Mina! I love this format. Especially with an unpredictable draft picker like Chris Simms. This was fun to watch! I don't think a lot of analysts could come up with these crazy trades and pick choices on the fly. You really know this draft class, at least at the to 50-60 or so it seems AND also team needs. I've never seen this format before but I really like it. Especially because you have no clue about Chris Simms positional rankings.

23:54 Chris gives his QB rankings… and somehow he has Maye at QB6 at best (which to me seems absolutely insane). Feels more like rankings of how good they were in college than how good they’ll be in the NFL. Especially since he has Bo Nix who mostly threw checkdowns and screens all year and Penix who has one of the worst injury histories ever and doesn’t move that well.

I was thinking this would be amazing but wouldn't happen! Love it. Big fan of Mina's show and Unbuttoned

That WR room is pretty barren, but as a Cowboys fan, I agree with you. Alt is a special tackle.

Glad i watched this for an hour to watch Chris Sims mock a nickle corner to the Eagles over a starting safety.

This is a good balance because Mina represents the media group think and political correctness (she refuses to even say Aaron hernandez name) and just regurgitates mainstream opinion, whereas chris is fiercely independent in his football thoughts, and is not afraid to talk straight (or say a football player’s name). They balance each other out well

I don't think much of Mina's knowledge or Chris attitude usually BUT THIS IS A GREAT FORMAT! Best mock draft on You Tube.

As a Bears fan I didn't mind the trade back even though it was really far, but Troy Franklin was a huge let down. I'd rather take a chance on Xavier Worthy at 28 if we're going speed receiver. I would have taken Jackson Powers-johnson, bears aren't set at center

Completely unhinged. I respect it.

Great combo, glad to see Chris here 😋 always great to listen to him

If I'm the Panthers and Bowers starts to slip into the mid 20's, I'd would seriously consider trading up.

Really hope bears stay in top 15 if they trade down that’s a huge drop in quality for missing Odunze

Simms is famous for his original takes being so often right--he chose Mahomes, Lamar, Herbert, and Stroud after all. So not crazy

Hi Mina, I love your podcasts ! I just don’t understand why you didn’t give Chris the option of picking Bo Nix at the Denver spot because we know that he would take Nix over Penix?

If I’m Ran Carthon and the titans I would immediately trade back to a qb needy team if Joe alt or Malik nabers is off the board at. Don’t settle for a tackle just because you have to have one. Why not trade back, add more draft capital then get your tackle. You’ll essentially get in return a future 1 plus a third and later pick this years draft.. smarter business decision if you ask me.

With the some picks towards the end of the first round being unenthusiastic, some teams will trade up for somebody they actually want (for example, Chargers wanting to grab Roman Wilson before the Chiefs do).

I loved the format and, as a Bears fan, loved the trade down and then when we got to 28 l, Mina put up the wrong two player choices IMO. With me it would either have been JPJ or Darius Robinson. Other than that, really great format.

If there is an OT run like this, the Dolphins better not reach for an OL at 21. McDaniel would be pounding the table for TE Brock Bowers and I suspect Grier would agree. Tua would have his Travis Kelce.

Bro is a troll 😂 Maye and Marvin Harrison

Don’t believe the hype.

As a Bengals fan,Brock Bowers,would be hard to pass up.But since they signed Mike Gisecki,they probably would take Byron Murphy.Either one would be a good fit.

When I think about the Chargers and Harbaugh, I know they have like zero WR's on their depth chart, but I just don't know that you're going to get the kind of usage/volume to justify taking a WR in top 5. And Harbaugh is all about the trenches. So I think he'd prefer OT, but my understanding is they are set at LT and need a RT, and Joe Alt is viewed as a definite LT. So it almost feels like trading back from 5 is a fait accompli.

Vikings don't have second round picks to add in to a trade package unless they do some more trading. I feel like three 1's should be enough for #3 though.
