TBMS 2.13: Questioning the Depth of WRs in the 2025 NFL Draft, Diagnosing the Viewership Problems in the UFL, and a Proper 1-Round Mock Draft

On this episode of TBMS, Brian opens up by discussing the retirements of two NFL stars from the 2010s with Hall of Fame cases (03:24) before addressing the problems surrounding the UFL. Why is viewership down and how can they keep their players happy without a proper CBA to protect their jobs and guarantee benefits, better salaries, and year-round healthcare? (11:50). On a recent episode of "Take Command", a draft expert stated there are very little WRs who are worth a first-round pick, yet he included Luther Burden III due to character issues and other technique questions. Brian goes off on the problem with focusing on character concerns and how sports media journalists can ruin a player's career when they focus on chasing headlines (29:34).With the Giants uncertain of their options with the third pick, Brian attempts to lay out the current state of the first round for all 32 teams based on local reports and team visits in a mock draft. Spoiler alert, it was very difficult and will surely upset some people. (45:05)In the Fact or Fiction segment, Brian acknowledges Rich Cimini's recent report about Breece Hall's future in New York. If the Jets can get Ashton Jeanty at Pick No. 7, will they trade Breece Hall to make room for him? (1:15:50)
