Ep 236 - Suprise Draft Pick at 8? + Bresee 5th Year Option

·1 hr 10 min·5 clips

The Saints picked up Bryan Bresee's $13-14 million option even though their run defense got better when he was hurt.

The episode begins with hosts Adam and Ryan acknowledging they are recording 15 days before the 2026 NFL Draft. They read a superchat from a listener named All Gained and briefly address a political detour about a social media post from a U.S. leader. The hosts then transition to Saints topics, starting with the news that the team picked up defensive tackle Bryan Bresee's fifth-year option, which they find surprising given his borderline starter status and the team's improved run defense without him. They debate whether this decision reflects sunk cost fallacy. Next, they explore potential surprise draft picks at pick 8, referencing a "cloud" of players they've previously discussed on Patreon. They analyze Oregon tight end Kinchens Sadiq, noting his positional versatility and blocking ability but questioning his first-round tape. They discuss Tennessee cornerback Dramad McCoy, highlighting his elite mirroring in man coverage but poor zone skills and run defense. They also mention offensive lineman Francis Moanola as a dark horse pick. The hosts compare McCoy to Montsaur Delane and Caleb Downs, debating positional value. They touch on trade rumors and the Saints' visit with cornerback Cornell Tate. The episode concludes with schedule updates, including upcoming interviews with Tony Pauline and Matt Harmon, and a final plea for a "good surprise" pick at 8.
