Guregian discusses her recent story on MassLive.com about how Patriots legends and Hall of Famers like Rodney Harrison, Vince Wilfork and Devin McCourty think Vrabel will navigate the scandal (https://www.masslive.com/patriots/2026/05/why-patriots-legends-believe-mike-vrabel-will-survive-dianna-russini-scandal-karen-guregian.html). How will Vrabel’s action play in the Patriots locker room? Will players forgive and forget or will there be a segment of them that will question the coach who led them to a Super Bowl appearance last season. Guregian conveys a story from McCourty comparing the distinct differences between Vrabel and former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick… and why it will be more challenging for Vrabel to reestablish his connection with his players. Guregian talks about whether “Vrabel-lite” can still thrive at the highest level. Will critics pile on if the Patriots struggle early in the 2026 season? Guregian is the longest tenured female reporter on the Patriots beat. She talks candidly about whether Vrabel’s legacy has been tarnished given his previous comments in an ESPN story about respecting the hurdles that female journalists have to clear covering the NFL. Guregian also is open about whether Russini’s actions made it more difficult for women to gain respect in this industry. Will Vrabel resign if things become untenable? Does Robert Kraft have any desire to part ways with him? After the Vrabel talk, Guregian dives into the A.J. Brown trade and how the soon-to-be former Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver can impact Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and the offense. How will offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels feature and work with Brown? The guys wrap up with talk about the Patriots 2026 NFl Draft class highlighted by Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu and Illinois pass rusher Gabe Jacas. What does Lomu’s arrival mean for left tackle Will Campbell? Finally, will Kayshon Boutte be traded? A thoughtful conversation with one of the respected voices covering the New England Patriots. Highlights: (2:53): What Devin McCourty, Vince Wilford and Rodney Harrison said about Mike Vrabel (7:30): What if the Patriots get off to a slow start in the 2026 regular season with a tougher schedule? (19:55): Can “Vrabel-Lite” be successful? (11:30): Difference between Vrabel and Bill Belichick when navigating scandal (14:35): Mike Vrabel is not a victim (19:00): Did Dianna Russini make it harder for female reporters to gain respect now? (21:15): Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot and Shilo Sanders controversy (27:55): Are people going too far with the jokes about Vrabel and Russini?

    Albert Breer of Sports Ilustrated shares behind-the-scenes 2026 NFL Draft intel, A.J. Brown news, Mike Vrabel update and more!
    Apr 27 2026
    Sports Illustrated senior reporter Albert Breer joins the pod to talk all things NFL. He opens the show by breaking down the Los Angeles Rams decision to draft Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 over pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Breer takes us behind the scenes in the Rams thought process and why Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead decided to take Matthew Stafford’s backup instead of a player who can help the Rams get to the Super Bowl in 2027. What is the NFL comp that league decision makers have given Breer about Simpson? Then Breer dives into the Philadelphia Eagles trade for Minnesota Vikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard during the draft. Why did Eagles GM Howie Roseman do it? Speaking of the Eagles, Breer explains what Philly’s decision to draft USC Makai Lemon means for the future of star wide receiver A.J. Brown? Breer discusses what the likely trade compensation will be between the Eagles and New England Patriots? Are the Eagles guaranteed to receive a first-round pick in return for A.J. Brown? Breer talks about what Brown really thinks of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts too. The guys turn the discussion to the ongoing saga involving Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL Insider of the Athletic Dianna Russini. Breer discusses whether an NFL reporter can influence a player’s trade value in the wake of recent information regarding Russini’s reporting on the Julio Jones trade market several years ago that resulted in the Atlanta Falcons dealing Jones to the Tennessee Titans, who were coached by Mike Vrabel at the time. Back to the 2026 NFL Draft, Breer talks about the player that the Rams would have likely traded up for if he had slipped. Breer gives his best picks on Day 2 (second round and third round) of the NFL Draft. He also reveals who his favorite player of Day 3 was. Breer discusses how New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn helped themselves in the draft. He then gives a word of caution on the supposedly deep quarterback class in the 2027 NFL Draft. Breer shares that Oregon quarterback Donte Moore would be his top quarterback prospect right now ahead of others, including Texas quarterback Arch Manning. Breer gives insight why Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs drafted LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier. Then he discusses Giants general manager Joe Schoen’s future and whether Giants pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux will be traded? Breer wraps up with insight on new Raiders cornerback Jermod McCoy, who fell to Day 3, why the Steelers drafted Penn State quarterback Drew Allar (and the former NFL star that scouts have compared him to) and of the NFL will actually have replacement officials in 2027. . Highlights: (2:00) Why the Rams drafted Alabama QB Ty Simpson (17:15) Behind the scenes on the Eagles trade for Vikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard (19:55): A.J. Brown trade compensation that Patriots will give to Howie Roseman and Eagles (36:00): What’s net for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel? (42:50): Rams interested in trading up for a stud in Round 1 (43:30): Eagles tried to trade up for offensive tackle. (47:18): Best Picks on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft (49:35): Best pick of Day 3 (54:00) New York Jets draft (58:00) Quarterback class in 2027 NFL Draft. Who’s No. 1?

  • 2026 NFL DRAFT ROUND 1 GRADES & ANALYSIS: Winners, Losers, Steals and Value Picks

    2026 NFL DRAFT ROUND 1 GRADES & ANALYSIS: Winners, Losers, Steals and Value Picks
    Apr 24 2026

    The guys discuss the latest developments in the scandal surrounding New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL Insider for ESPN and The Athletic Dianna Russini. Vrabel will not be with the Patriots for Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft to attend counseling and be with his family. Have his recent public statements done more harm than good in the wake of more photos from TMZ and the New York Post?

    Burg and Manish move on to discuss a wild first round of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh on Thursday night that featured eight trades with five of the final seven picks being dealt. The guys give their winners, losers, surprises, steals and value picks in Round 1.

    Six teams drafted two players (Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins). The New York Jets traded back into the first round to give them three first-rounders (Texas Tech edge David Bailey, Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper, Jr.).

    Eight teams did not have a first-round pick, including the Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals (after trading for Giants DL Dexter Lawrence), Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonsville Jaguars. The Buffalo Bills (traded down three times) and San Francisco 49ers traded out of the first round on Thursday night.

    How will prospects like Jeremiyah Love, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, Monroe Freeling, Omar Cooper Jr., Francis Mauigoa, Reuben Bain, Akheem Mesidor, Spencer Fano, Mansoor Delane, Spencer Fano, Caleb Lomu, T.J. Parker, Keldric Faulk, Max Iheanachor, Kadyen Proctor, , Dillon Thieneman, Blake Miller, Olaivavega Ioane, Ty Simpson, Jadarian Price, Peter Woods (Clemson), OG Keylan Rutledge (Georgia Tech), KC Concepcion, Malachi Lawrence, Caleb Banks and Keldric Faulk do at the next level?

    The guys discuss a pair of value picks before jumping into five winners. Then, it’s time to talk about five losers in the draft. Finally, Burg and Manish give grades for each pick of the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

    Along the way, they discuss the reality that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will likely be traded (to the New England Patriots) after Howie Roseman traded up for USC wide receiver Makai Lemon. And they dive into why the Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams drafted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson when they could have given reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford some immediate help to make another Super Bowl run.

    There are also plenty of talented players left for Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft like Jermod McCoy, Colton Hood, Denzel Boston, Cashius Howell, Zion Young, C.J. Allen, CB Avieon Terrell, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, DT Kayden McDonald, Edge T.J. Parker, G Emmanuel Pregnon, LB Jake Golday, DT Christian Miller and others.

    Highlights:

    (2:00) Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini updates

    (15:30): Value Picks

    (19:00) Winners of the first round

    (33:20) Losers of the first round

    (47:00) Grades for every pick and every team
