Minnesota discusses signing QB Kyler Murray to a veteran-minimum deal, adding CB James Pierre and punter Johnny Hekker, bidding for OT Ryan Van Demark, and various roster/cap moves. Chicago focuses on center Drew Dalman’s surprise retirement, multiple defensive departures, and additions including center Garrett Bradberry and other replacements. They debate draft philosophy, then run a mock draft: Lions take edge Akheem Mesidor, Vikings take S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and Bears take edge Cashius Howell, followed by reactions to PFF-style grades and brief show plugs. 00:00 NFC North Intro Rap 01:55 Free Agency Grades Setup 02:26 Lions Moves Recap 04:26 Vikings Signings Rundown 07:17 Bears Turnover And Replacements 10:42 Packers Quiet Offseason 11:43 Divisionwide Free Agency Grade 13:31 QB Outlook And Expectations 15:44 JJ McCarthy Over Under 17:01 Mock Draft Kickoff 18:06 Lions Pick On The Clock 19:38 Lions Pick Mesidor 20:27 Vikings Draft Strategy 21:26 McNeil-Warren Selection 22:37 Bears Debate Tackle 24:23 Bears Take Cashius Howell 24:58 First Round Recap 26:38 PFF Grades Reactions 29:12 Run It Back Mock 29:45 BPA Versus Need 31:47 Show Plugs Updates 34:36 March Madness Banter 35:34 Sign Off Shoutouts FAN WITH US!!!
