Colin Cowherd Podcast - NFL DRAFT RECAP: Shedeur Sanders FALLS Out Of 1st , Jags OVERPAID For Travis Hunter, Hampton Gives Chargers “Juice”, Caleb Williams "Loaded"
25/04/2025 Duration: 02h01minColin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft! They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it. They debate whether Cleveland reached for DT Mason Graham at #5 and believe there’s a real chance the Jags pick they received could be a top 6 pick.
