- John MiddlekauffDraft Bust Calls · Caleb WilliamsMiss · 0Middlekauff expects either Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to win this year's MVP, calling them the two best players in the league. He is pessimistic on the Bears, forecasting six or seven wins and saying he'd bet Caleb Williams doesn't work out as a franchise quarterback. He also sees Oklahoma's John Mattier as a first-round pick who'll be in the Heisman mix.
- John MiddlekauffDraft Bust Calls · Anthony RichardsonHit · 100Middlekoff's bold predictions, as relayed on the show, have the Patriots and Colts making the playoffs; he also argues the Colts whiffed on Anthony Richardson, comparing him to Trey Lance.
- John GreenDraft Bust Calls · T.J. SandersPendingGreen expects the Bills to place second-year defensive lineman T.J. Sanders on injured reserve while Phidarian Mathis returns from suspension to the active roster, and argues Sanders is already trending toward bust status relative to his No. 41 overall selection.
- Blaine GrisakDraft Bust Calls · Xavier LegettePendingGrisak argues the Rams still need a third wide receiver and lists five trade candidates they should explore, while judging both Quentin Johnston and Xavier Legette as first-round receivers who have not lived up to their draft billing.
- John MiddlekauffDraft Bust Calls · Omarion HamptonPendingMiddlekauff would rank the Ravens as the No. 1 team in the NFL after their win over the Colts, and says Chargers first-round running back Omarion Hampton looks like nothing special for a back taken that high.
- Albert BreerDraft Bust Calls · Ty SimpsonPendingBreer says the Raiders will hold Fernando Mendoza out until the supporting cast is ready, while Kirk Cousins starts; he also suggests Mendoza may end up as the backup ahead of Aidan O'Connell. He predicts Justin Herbert could make a real MVP run with the Chargers, is skeptical Ty Simpson is a hit at the 13th pick, and expects Aaron Donald, if he returns, to play roughly 30-40 snaps a game in a rotation.
