·47 min·3 clips

Andrew says he would take Hunter Henry over Kyle Pitts because he trusts Henry more in the playoffs.

1. Gridiron Grind with Andrew and Lance centers this episode on NFL offseason movement, the Combine, and Kyle Pitts. 2. Andrew and Lance host the show and use their football opinions, fantasy experience, and Eagles/Falcons fandom to frame the discussion. 3. The episode asks whether Kyle Pitts is worth a franchise tag, whether Kirk Cousins has a real market, and which offseason moves actually make sense. 4. The hosts begin with Combine talk, naming Arvel Reese and Sonny Styles as standouts from the first night of defensive line and linebacker work. 5. They note that only one player had been franchise tagged so far and connect the shortage to broader offseason uncertainty. 6. The main Kyle Pitts question starts with the Falcons' 16 million dollar franchise-tag number and Lance's concern about paying too much. 7. Andrew argues Pitts is still young, highly athletic, and blocked by the Falcons' thin tight end depth chart. 8. The discussion turns to Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins, with Andrew saying the quarterback situation matters as much as Pitts himself. 9. They use a long "who would you rather" game to compare Pitts with Trey McBride, Travis Kelce, Juwan Johnson, Tyler Warren, Dalton Schultz, Hunter Henry, Harold Fannin, Colston Loveland, Brock Bowers, Oronde Gadsden, George Kittle, and Dallas Goedert. 10. Contract value becomes a major theme, especially the difference between Pitts' veteran price and rookies like Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland. 11. Andrew calls Pitts a "sell your Kyle Pitts stock" player, while Lance keeps pointing to Pitts' 928 yards and late-season improvement. 12. Andrew prefers Hunter Henry and Dallas Goedert because he wants a tight end who functions as a security blanket. 13. Lance says Pitts still offers a higher ceiling and more offensive upside than several of the names on the list. 14. They bring up touchdowns, with Dallas Goedert's 11 scores and red-zone role used as the argument for consistency. 15. Andrew says George Kittle is the easy one-year choice because of blocking, leadership, and proven production. 16. The Cousins segment narrows his options to the Jets, a broadcast booth, or a return to Minnesota with Kevin O'Connell. 17. The tone is conversational and debate-heavy, with fast back-and-forth comparisons and a lot of team-building language. 18. The format feels like a football arguments session rather than a formal interview, with both hosts constantly challenging each other's rankings. 19. Fans who like NFL offseason debates and tight end rankings will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a short news roundup without player comparisons may skip it.
