On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff takes you inside the Cowboys’ draft room following the “The Pick Is In” ESPN feature, breaking down the dynamic between Jerry and Stephen Jones and what it reveals about how Dallas makes decisions on draft night.

John also dives into the latest surrounding the Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers situation and a potential connection to the Arizona Cardinals, unpacking the rumors and what could realistically happen.

Plus, why Anthony Richardson appears to have little to no trade market right now, and what that says about how teams view his development. On the flip side, John discusses Fernando Mendoza and why playing exclusively under center might be the only thing holding him back from starting over Kirk Cousins.

Later, a look at Patrick Mahomes attacking his rehab and what it means for the Chiefs as they gear up for another run.

To wrap things up, John answers your questions in this episodes mailbag segment.

From behind-the-scenes draft insight to quarterback storylines across the league, it’s all covered on this episode of 3 & Out.

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA playoffs.

They start with the Celtics being upset by the 76ers and they discuss Boston’s dependence on their “system”, why that system fell apart when Jayson Tatum can’t play, and why Joel Embiid created massive problems for the Celtics defensively (3:00). They also  preview the upcoming series between the Knicks and Sixers (15:30). 

They move to the western conference and Colin argues the Lakers win over the Rockets put the exclamation point on the argument that LeBron is better than Kevin Durant, and the series showed the gap between the two is bigger than ever (24:45). 

They pivot to the Timberwolves knocking off the Nuggets, and they debate whether we’ve been underrating the Wolves team & organization for years (35:30), and whether a young & inexperienced Spurs team can be trusted in the postseason (39:30). 

Colin argues the Nuggets need to shake things up and make some major moves in order to get over the hump and Jason suggests they look into acquiring CJ McCollum in order to move off Jamal Murray and finding an athletic forward to fill the role a younger Aaron Gordon filled (43:30).
