So hot takes Rick Spielman has said this a couple of times on the podcast: Dak Prescott to the Raiders for the 2025 season. Brandon A. Baylor, Hailey Sutton -- y'all heard it here first! 🎙️With the First Pick Podcast🎙️

.Rick Spielman isn't prone to hyperbole so it got my attention when he talked in glowing terms about South Carolina EDGE Kyle Kennard. Rick gave him the "rat-hole player" treatment, which is high praise. 🎙️With the First Pick Podcast🎙️

Syracuse QB Kyle McCord looks like a completely different player this season. He was No. 2 on our Week 2 CFB QB Rankings and Rick Spielman and I think he has a chance to sneak into Day 2 if he keeps playing like this. 🎙️With the First Pick Podcast🎙️

I asked Rick Spielman who he's more concerned about after Week 1: Bryce Young or Will Levis. 🎙️With the First Pick Podcast🎙️

Two weeks into the college football season and the race for QB1 in the 2025 NFL Draft class remains wide open. Last Saturday against Michigan, Quinn Ewers made his case. 🎙️With the First Pick Podcast🎙️

I wanted to talk about Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman again this week on the With the First Pick Podcast pod to see how he bounced back from the Notre Dame loss. He was better, but I asked Rick Spielman if it's too early to suggest that it's in Weigman's best interests to stay in school.

The Raiders drafted Brock Bowers No. 13 overall in April, and he's coming off a big game vs. the Ravens. I hit Rick Spielman with a $1 bet on whether Michigan TE Colston Loveland goes earlier than that in 2025.

According to TruMedia: 43% of Caleb Williams' throws vs. Indy were out in under 2.5 seconds. He was 19 of 22, 115 yds, 1 TD/0 INT, zero off-target throws, and first in EPA per dropback. On throws over 2.5 seconds: 14 of 29, 248 yds, 1 TD/2 INT, 28% off-target throws.

Jam-packed NFL on CBS 🏈 pod today! - ranking the rookie QB performances for Week 3 - offensive & defensive rookies of the week - 2nd-year spotlight: Will Levis (👀 Pete Prisco) - and, of course: OVER-RICK-ACTIONS with Rick Spielman youtu.be/O4lOkTdzNY4?si…

The Jaguars currently have the No. 1 overall pick and assuming they don't trade out of it, Rick Spielman thinks they should take Travis Hunter. (We did an impromptu Top-10 mock draft last week on the With the First Pick Podcast pod and I went OT ... I stand corrected.)

Asked Rick Spielman what the Titans should do after their bye week: stick with Will Levis as the starter or turn to Mason Rudolph. "Will Levis plays #knucklehead ball for a QB ... but you gotta keep going with the young guys" to see what you have. 🎙️With the First Pick Podcast🎙️

Excited to talk about this on Thursday's With the First Pick Podcast pod with Rick Spielman. Is this Caleb Williams vs. Notre Dame or something more concerning?

Few people tougher than Jaxson Dart and as Rick Spielman pointed out on the With the First Pick Podcast pod, NFL folks are higher on him than some media, in part because of his toughness, in part because "the intangibles are going to be off the chart." FWIW, Dart is my QB4 right now.

Bittersweet day at With the First Pick...after 802 days and 221 shows, Rick Spielman is leaving the pod to join the Jets front office. Jets fans should be ecstatic. It was an awesome 2+ years, and Rick and I talked about our time together and his future on the pod today.
