Shula Draft Philosophy Still Applies

Joe and Kim Bokamper discuss the pressure that comes with high draft picks and how expectations rise the higher a player is selected. They reflect on Don Shula’s approach of playing rookies early and letting the most talented players earn their roles, regardless of draft status. The conversation shifts to Jonah Savaiinaea and whether he can take a second-year leap, including how his position could shift after playing both sides of the line in college and the pros. They also break down the surprising decline in Christian Wilkins’ situation with the Raiders after thriving in Miami, questioning what went wrong as he now sits as a free agent.
