Hour 1: Ferando Mendoza Talks NFL Draft, plus Giants-Bengals Big Trade, AJ Brown, and NBA Playoffs

Rich weighs in on the New York Giants sending 3-time Pro Bowl DT Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick in this week’s NFL Draft, to a report that WR AJ Brown will be skipping the Philadelphia Eagles’ next voluntary team workouts and why a trade to the New England Patriots seems inevitable. Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza tells Rich about the mix of nervousness and excitement he’s experiencing as the NFL Draft rapidly approaches, recaps the Indiana Hoosiers national championship season and reveals praise from IU ‘s steely head coach Curt Cignetti was few and far between, and explains why he’s willing to sit and learn behind Kirk Cousins on the Las Vegas Raiders (but not for too long). Rich and Brockman react to the first weekend of the NBA Playoffs including the Magic taking Game 1 from the Pistons, another “spectacular” game from Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James putting the Lakers on his back in their Game 1 win over the Houston Rockets, and the possible end of the Golden State Warriors’ Steve Kerr era.
