JP & Dan get together to do their first (possibly most accurate?!) mock draft for the 2025 edition...11 months ahead of time. There's no way this one could go wrong!

The boys finish recapping their beverages from draft weekend with a pair of stouts
Dan & JP finish up finals week with a look through the NFC Teams, handing out their grades for all 16 teams following their performances in the 2024 NFL Draft.

As students take exams all over the country, JP & Dan give out their final grades for the AFC side of the 2024 NFL draft. There's a good battle at the top! And at the bottom as well for that matter. The boys also recap a few of the beers they had off the pod from Dan's recent southern adventure.
JP & Dan are in the garage again to recap day two of the 2024 NFL draft.

They may also be enjoying a couple more beverages from the road trip Dan had to the south.
JP and Dan go from one of the most amazing settings they've ever had for a podcast...to maybe a more appropriate one. They descend this time on BradBrad's garage, complete with wind noise to sip some beverages and recap the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Spoiler Alert...they didn't like Atlanta's pick either.
Dan & JP are joined by BradBrad and his lady Paige as the quartet descended upon the "D" for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The crew decided to grab lunch at Detroit Beer Company, just down the road from the Draft Stage. Listen closely as Dan definitely messed up his microphone recording and had to lean on both of the other two to get his point across. How many picks will these guys get correct? We only have hours to wait!
JP & Dan are here with JP's favorite episode of the pre-draft process. It's time to talk about who the boys have slotted in as "their guys" and the busts at every position group. You might raise a few eyebrows, but bookmark this episode. We're going to have a great time making fun of them in a few years with some of their takes in this one.
Dan & JP, fresh off changing those Final rankings from the last episode, rip through their top 100 prospects for the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. And THIS list they totally won't change...till after the show gets done...or during the show...or right now...
JP & Dan chime in with their totally set in stone Final positional rankings, including the average number of players drafted at each position group. So that means about Seven centers, and over 30 Wide Receivers! And by final we mean JP has already changed them like a dozen times between shows. But at least they won't change the rankings for the beer they talk about...
JP & Dan decided to finish off this ridiculous thought exercise with the second and third rounds of the "second best mock", choosing not the top choice for a team in the 2024 NFL draft, but the next player. Listen for who the boys almost think should go at every pick through the top 100.
JP got a little silly this week, and dragged Dan into one of the duo's most ridiculous boondoggles to date. Instead of just having a casual, three round mock, he decided that since we always get all of these picks wrong anyway, why not have two choices for each team, and unless its obvious, pick the second guy? Seemed simple enough. Listen and laugh at their hubris. Oh, and learn about some fun beer too.
Dan and JP are back with the second half of their all time (since the show started running three years ago, but still) 12 packs for each position group on the defensive side of the ball. Enjoy listening to the boys making fun of themselves for some of their surefire top prospects...that kind of haven't panned out yet. They also talk about some more NYC related beverage adventures.
JP and Dan decided to jump the gun on their final 2024 NFL draft positional rankings thanks to JP's brilliant idea. For the three drafts so far that these boys have been doing this show...who are the 12 best prospects at each position group? How will this year's cast of characters measure up? And what did the boys get themselves into in the beverage world?
JP & Dan are back together at last, recording liveish from JP's basement, complete with huskies and interruptions to go brush snow off of cars. It's everything you've come to expect from these two, wrapped into their longest episode to date as the boys cruise through the first two rounds of their latest guesses for the 2024 NFL Draft. They also regale with tales of bourbon from evenings long ago...ok, or last night, but still.
JP & Dan watched the free agency frenzy, and now that the dust has mostly settled, the boys take a look at all 32 NFL teams and their needs ahead of the 2024 Draft in April. Dan also talks about his recent trip to New York City, and gives a shout out to Yonkers Brewing!
JP & Dan fire up the way back machine to take a look at all of the things they got right...and so very wrong from the 2021 NFL Draft. Listen for their favorite busts, both that they predicted, and totally didn't see coming. This is the big one, JP's favorite episode of the offseason, because these two get to mock each other incessantly. The boys also chat about some great new, and just like new Michigan beers.
Dan & JP drop their Post-Combine, Pre-Free Agency mock...and they really tried their best not to bring the legal tampering period into the mix. The boys go back and forth with the teams they cover, and don't look now, but trades be happening in the top 10...but maybe not where you think!
JP & Dan are at it with the second installment of their Post-Combine, Pre-Workout, in between, totally gonna change 12 packs of prospects at each major position group. The boys take on the offense this time, and, spoilers, but they don't exactly agree on everyone. Which is what makes this fun.
JP & Dan are shuffling their 12 packs at each position group following the NFL Scouting Combine last weekend. Today the boys tackle the defense, and there's a whole pile of movers and shakers both up and down the boards. They also dive into a few beverages that made the recent list
Dan & JP wrap up their pre-combine 12 packs with the Quarterback and Tight End classes. One has been talked about too much, another not nearly enough. Will the boys even be able to keep their rankings consistent through the end of the episode?
Dan & JP are amped for NFL Combine week, and on their second to last show running through all of the position groups ahead of the testing. Safety might be the position where these two disagree the most! The boys also throw down over some tasty beverages. JP still hasn't turned the corner on the sours.
JP & Dan take a look at the other position group that has a wild variance amongst all the pre-draft gurus. Running Backs are a dime a dozen in the NFL they say, but some of these guys are going to make a lot more than that! The boys also give you some of their new favorite beverages to try out.
The Boys dive into JP's favorite position group, and spoiler alert...he's not excited this year. They keep the pre-combine prep going with their 12 packs of prospects ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. You might hear these guys disagree a bit going forward!
JP & Dan are back on the other side of the lines, taking a look at their 12 pack of interior offensive linemen before the NFL Combine in a few weeks.

Dan & JP dive into the trenches with a look at their 12 packs of interior defensive linemen ahead of the 2024 NFL Combine. The Boys don't exactly agree on all of the spots this go around, but they do agree that it's high time they got back to tasting some beverages for the beer break!
JP and Dan dive into one of the more interesting position groups for the 2024 NFL Draft. This tackle class is shaping up to be one of the deeper groups we've ever seen! How do they shake out? The boys also go over a pair of Goose Island Bourbon County stouts. No questions there, those beers were amazing!
JP and Dan are at it on a Wednesday evening, which means taking a break from their beer break! The boys sip on the newest addition to the Founders KBS line, and talk their top 12 pack of edge rushers heading into the 2024 NFL Combine. This is one group these guys might almost agree on...almost.
JP & Dan are back to back with their second position group 12 pack as they run through the names to know before the 2024 scouting combine. The boys try to make sense of the crowded Wide Receiver class this season. Let's just say there's waaaaay more names than they have time for today. Who made the cut?! They also continue their beer adventure from championship weekend.
Dan & JP get the pre-combine process started off with one of the deepest position groups in the 2024 NFL draft! It's time for a 12 pack (plus!) of Cornerbacks that will likely hear their names called in the first few rounds come April. Listen for where the boys rank some of the top contenders. There's a few surprises in there, and one name in particular that makes JP call Dan some names. The boys also talk about one of their more interesting beer adventures from championship weekend.
00:00 - 25:12 - Numbers 12-7 (and honorable mentions)
25:13-30:48 - Halftime Beverage Break
30:49 - Numbers 6-1

More importantly, the boys take a look at who might actually be available at those points, and whether or not those needs are going to get filled in the first round. They also give some ideas of beverages you should keep your eyes peeled for in the near future.
JP and Dan are back at it after an accidental week away with their latest round of deep dives on a 12 pack of players that you'll likely hear called in the 2024 NFL draft. Where will they go? You're not going to believe this, but the boys might disagree with some of the talking heads out there. JP also recounts his beverage choices following the Lions historic divisional round win...let's just say mistakes were made.
Dan & JP are doubling up on Super Wild Card Weekend. With the NFL regular season wrapped up, the boys break down each team's rookie of the year! Some might be obvious, some clearly aren't. Did they get it right for your team?! They also drop in some of their own recent MVP's for bourbon and beer.
JP and Dan brave snowpocalypse 2024 from the comfort of their basement & office, jumping head first into some dives shallower than the foot of white stuff that fell on West Michigan this weekend.

They also talk about some tasty bourbons and beers!
JP and his huskies and Dan and his tile laying hotel workers are back at it as the former has some growling pups and the latter some diligent DC workers as the boys try their best to do their most bonkers mock draft yet.

Dan & JP take a dive into some players that they may have been overlooking so far in their evaluation cycle for the 2024 NFL draft...at least Dan is. JP also goes back to the well to re-evaluate a handful of guys that might be moving up...or down his board. Plus, an odd look at an oddside beer, and Dan gets positively Presidential.
Dan & JP step back and take a look at how the young guys have been playing over the last three weeks. Are they rooks that are building blocks for these NFL teams? Or just pawns to be moved around and cut loose?! The boys also talk about some other high gravity issues...namely some beers of that strong variety!
JP & Dan struggle to open cans and drink beers in this midweek episode that focuses on some shallower dives on players that the boys either need to update, or need to open the book on for the first time. They each roll through a 12 pack of names that you should have on your radar for the 2024 NFL draft. Listen to hear what guys they're high on...and what guys are waaaaaaay overrated in their minds. Some of them might surprise you.
Dan & JP get a little funky with their latest 2024 First Round NFL Mock Draft. This time around, instead of the boys making picks for the teams they cover, they're giving each other three options of players to choose from at each spot. Sure, #1 overall probably shouldn't be too hard, but what happens after that? Which QB slides? And what have they been drinking?!
JP & Dan are back with an extension and update of their individual big boards, extending them out to a full two rounds. That's right, 64 players each! Listen for who's rising and falling, and who Dan forgot to put on his board completely...whooooooops! The boys also get into their recent dark turn on beers. Tis' the season!
JP & Dan are merrily making their way through all 32 teams in the NFL this week, taking a look at what each would like to receive this holiday (or April). Does your team need a stout Defensive Tackle? or an energetic playmaker? Maybe it's that plus a whole lot more! The boys also unveil a new beer quest. Join them!
JP & Dan are back taking a look at a 12 pack of players that you may or may not have heard of from schools that you may or may not pay any attention to during the college football season.

The boys also dip into some local dark beers with a Black IPA from Founders and a handful of stouts!
JP and Dan are back on Conference Championship Saturday to talk about...the NFL.

The answer might surprise you. It certainly did for them!

Listen as they agree...and totally disagree on who should be where at the different position groups ahead of the 2024 NFL draft.
JP and Dan look back at what could have been, and should have been for each pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Who goes #1 overall now that we've seen half a season out of these guys? Ok, that one's pretty obvious, but where do Bryce Young, Brian Branch, Tuli Tuipolotu and others end up?!
JP and Dan are back with something they should have done a long time ago. The boys unveil their living, breathing big boards for the 2024 NFL draft in April. They run through their top 32 that may or may not (but totally will) change between now and draft day. JP also talks Big Bucks, antlers, and a 7 pack flight from Northern Michigan.
Dan and JP can see the sun shining outside, and shining on rookie classes across the NFL. The boys rip through each of the 32 team's crop of newbies and give their take on who's been the best...or the least worst? Let's be honest, some teams did better than others...
JP and Dan are weathering the literal storms in the Michigan Autumn and adding to their player packs with more deep dives on guys that you'll see in the first few rounds of the 2024 NFL draft in April. The boys also went over their latest beer adventures, including a flight and then some for JP over at ConfluxCity in Portland (Michigan...not Oregon...Yet)
JP and Dan hole up in JP's basement for their midseason mock draft, and they've got some mood lighting and beverages to get them in the mood to talk the 2024 NFL draft!

Dan and JP are both in a way tonight as the boys are facing an empty room and exploding beers! They go one by one through all of the teams in the NFL playing GM and suggesting trades for each one. What will they do for...or to...your favorite team? And what does JP do when a beer gets a bit too...shall we say...agitated?
Dan & JP are deciding less is more. Or more is better? Either way, get ready for some detailed discussions about some of the players you need to keep an eye on for the rest of the college football season. The boys dive into their recent beer adventures as well, Dan might be swapping coffee shops for breweries going forward. Also, figure out what Stalented means!
Dan and JP crack out their second show in less than 24 hours, this time tackling 2024 NFL draft needs for each team. Ok, so they do that each week, but THIS time they're putting names to the needs. Do they get it right for your team? Or did the dragonsmilk make them start seeing things?
JP and Dan are back at it in JP's basement again...this might have to become a thing!

JP and Dan are finally back together again! The boys holed up in JP's basement to talk a little NFL football and weekly team needs for the 2024 Draft during the early slate of games before the much anticipated (for them at least) return of the Creamsicles in Tampa! They also sipped on a beer that Dan's been saving for months. But...could they stay on topic with football going on all around?!
Dan & JP once again remind everyone that they totally don't look at each other's notes before the show. Both guys dive in on the same player in the second half of their College football episode. Listen as the boys break down the most recent performances by the players most likely to hear their names called at the top of the 2024 NFL draft.
They also dive deep into their recent beer selections. There might be a distinct Michigan flavor to these beverages.
Dan & JP are at the quarter line for the NFL season...which means its hilariously too early mock draft time! We all know the order is going to change, and the players will as well before the 2024 draft in Detroit, but that's never stopped these guys before. The boys also talk about the beverages they're drinking to mark the occasion.
JP and Dan are back with this week's take on the state of College Football's top shelf prospects for the 2024 NFL draft.

Join them for the first of their weekly shows solely dedicated to college football, and namely the players who's names you're going to hear called early on (or later on) in the 2024 NFL Draft. Well, not just the college game...there's beer involved.
Dan & JP break down the football weekend ahead, as several college programs can't afford to overlook what some might see as "easy" games.

Dan and JP are at it again with a quick take on week one's standouts in the College football world. Then the boys jump in the deep end with their predictions for the NFL season. Who do they believe will win each division? What about the Super Bowl?! They also get into their thoughts on impact rookies and way too early draft needs for every team. Oh, and they throw some beer reviews in there for good measure as well!
JP and Dan have a whole episode full of hot takes and reactions to the NFL's first ever full cut down day. Rosters went from 90 to 53, and the boys have some thoughts on the most surprising moves by each team. They also go over their most recent beer related adventures for you to go out and try on your own!
Dan and JP get together following week zero to talk about what they expect to see this year in the college football world.

Dan and JP open up the College Football season with their hottest of takes on the state of the game, and all of the realignment madness that's been going on for a little over a year now, and has ramped up in recent months. The boys also take a little break to talk some beverages...because they need it with this topic!
JP and Dan pause the real life football talk to take a dip into the world of fantasy football. The boys rate their top players at every position, including Individual Defensive Players, which according to JP is the only acceptable way to do that sort of thing. They also talk about some local beers, and Dan throws a curveball JP's way at the end of the episode!
JP and Dan take a quick break from preseason College and NFL talk to give some far too early guesses at who will take home all of the major awards at both levels. And since these boys don't believe in sticking to the mainstream, they've re-branded award season as "the craftys". Listen to see if you believe what these guys are selling. Or at least to have a good laugh!
Dan and JP rip through the NFC programs as they share their training camp notes, with a little nod to the first preseason game for a lot of the teams as well. At least, that's the plan, but Dan kinda struggled opening a beer at the start of the show. Listen as the boys share some tasting notes on beer and bourbon, and give their way too early predictions for who is going to come out of the NFL's National Football Conference.
Dan and JP are back into the football swing of things as the boys give their insights on the first couple of weeks of training camp news and notes. It's the NFL's AFC slate up first, and the hot takes are flying around! They also recap their recent beer adventures, pulling in a lot of Northern Michigan and Tennessee experiences.
Dan and JP run it back with their takes on what they would do if they could make one choice for each team in the NFC. True to form from the last episode, they didn't do any real prep for this episode. So blame that if you think their ideas are crazy. They're also drinking beer and bourbon again, so maybe blame that too.
It's Improv night! On zero prep, and with training camps just underway, JP and Dan got thinking...what one thing would they do for each NFL franchise if they had the decision making powers? The boys go through the AFC squads this show, and we think you might be happy with their choices. Just remember, they really didn't think this one through. Maybe that's because of the beer and bourbon they talk about...
Dan and JP are back with the back half of the greatest players to ever wear certain numbers throughout NFL history. Join them for 50-99, and take notes...there's a few numbers up for grabs that young players might want to snag!
JP and Dan are having fun before training camps get rolling. The boys go back and forth through the greatest players to wear each jersey number...and you're not going to believe this, but it took more than one episode. Join them as they go from 0-49, and even fit in a little beer break in there as well.
JP and Dan are back for what one of them thought would be a nice, quick wrap on the college branding rankings. It ended up being one of the deepest episodes to date as the boys argued about color combos, and whether or not tigers are the baddest animals on the planet. You know, typical Draft Craft nonsense. They also give their recent beer takes to help you figure out what to grab for those long summer days.
They're going to make enemies with this one. Dan and JP dive into an even bigger challenge, trying to suss out the top 30 rack of College Brands. They rank schools based on Helmets, logos, colors, uniforms, and Nicknames. You...might not agree with all of their choices.
Dan and JP ended up having to split this bad boy into a two-parter. They broke it down in the last episode with the back half of their Branding rankings...and now it's on to the front side, capping it off with the team that they both actually think has the BEST branding in all of the NFL!
JP and Dan are filling in the time between Minicamps and the start of training camp by getting into it over all 32 NFL team brands. We're talking Jerseys, Helmets, Logos...you name it. And you're not going to believe it...but it might take two episodes...
Dan and JP are back for the second half of their trip through their NFL offseason. This time they tackle the NFC squads with a six pack(ish) each on all of the teams. The boys also go over all of the beers they've tried recently, some of them you might even be able to find in your backyard!
JP and Dan settle in after the former returns from his forest adventure to talk about what all of the teams in the AFC have been up to in their minicamps and OTA's. The boys pick out a six pack(ish) of storylines for each club as they try to figure out who's best positioned for success. They also give their takes on some of the best summer time beers that you need to try as the season ramps up.
Dan and JP pay homage to the ultimate undersized Defensive Tackle, John Randle and his fellow standout undrafted players throughout the years of the NFL. Each of the guys has pulled together a twelve pack of their favorites! See if yours matches up. The boys also give their tasting notes on the Bell's Oberon variety pack, and three different Pure Michigan Shorts beers. Grab em' while you can!
JP and Dan are back contemplating their list of all-time college prospects at each defensive position group. They may have even added in an extra one to keep from throwing down about some of the greats from the 80's. The boys also go through their one-time all-time list of beers from Folklore Brewing and Meadery in Dothan, Alabama. You should probably take notes.
Dan and JP are breaking down the BEST NFL prospect at each offensive position group...for allllllll time! Get the debate hats out. This one might go off! Also the boys review a pretty spectacular four pack from DC Brau in our nation's capital.
JP and Dan finish their tour through the NFL divisions, finishing off out west with their takes on each team's top six building blocks.

They wrap it up by giving their takes on the best building block teams for the whole of the AFC and NFC...did they pick your squad?!
Dan and JP continue their tear through all of the NFL divisions with what they're calling their "Building Blocks" series. This time around the boys are looking at the AFC and NFC East! Six (ish) building blocks per squad to see what team has set themselves up the best for future success. They also get you some eastern building blocks on the beer front as well! Listen to see how they rate your team, and your beverages!
JP and Dan head south for their second Memorial Day weekend episode as they take a look at the building blocks for all of the teams in the AFC and NFC south divisions. They may also cheat a bit on their six packs of blocks, fair warning. The boys also give you a bunch of "southern" beers to add to your building block lists there as well. Ok, one's from Indiana, but the NFL hasn't always had geography as their strong suit. Lookin at you Cowboys.
JP and Dan get together in person to start the Memorial Day weekend off right! The boys start a four part series looking at all of the teams in the NFL, and their building blocks as they get into offseason activities. They also get into some building blocks for beer from those regions as well. Listen and take notes for beverages to try, and things to mock these guys about your favorite teams!
JP and Dan take part in the hilarious farce that everyone does these days and they rip through their comically early projections for the 2024 NFL Draft's first round. Using the current (and likely to be wildly incorrect) standings from tankathon, the boys have more than a few surprises up their sleeves, and it begins right at the top! JP also leads the beer break talk with a flight of Oberon variations from one of West Michigan's best breweries, the craft masters at Bells.
JP and Dan are firing up a new season by taking a look at their way...WAAAAAAAY too early top six packs of players at every position group for the 2024 NFL draft. The boys also go through their recent beer adventures and give you some new ones to look for on your next night out!
JP and Dan finish off making fun of each other's choices while recapping their picks from their pre-season and pre-draft heads up one-on-one drafts. The boys also draft some drafts that they've been drinking over the past week as well, and JP even cracks one open mid-show! Listen as the boys chuckle about how right...and very wrong they were with some of the players they took at the start of the 2022-2023 season.
JP and Dan dusted off their old one on one drafts from before the college football season and pre-NFL draft...and let's just say there were some...discrepancies. Listen as the boys mock their incredibly confident picks from last August, and brush up on your rye and bourbon knowledge as they break down some ongoing "tournaments" of the beautiful amber beverage.
Dan and JP take a break from their weekend festivities to finish the other half of their 2023 NFL Draft grades, this time focusing on the NFC squads. The boys also take a beer break to talk about some of the best Mexican lagers, and other beverages and breweries you should be checking out south of the border in a nod to the celebration of the win over the French back in 1862.
JP and Dan run through the draft classes for AFC teams, calling out each club's best and worst picks, as well as who they would have taken instead, and the best UDFA's as well!

Dan and JP decided 15 minutes before recording to do one final dueling first round NFL 2023 mock draft here on draft day! What does that mean? Hot takes! Wildly inaccurate trades! Mayhem and carnage! Or at least some hilariously educated guesses at what might go down tonight in what is sure to be one of the more bonkers first rounds we've seen in a loooooong time. Crack one open, and be ready to enjoy, and critique!
Dan and JP have come to the end of their quixotic quest to actually finish a three round mock draft. It was nearly derailed by Aaron Rodgers, it was almost blown up by reddit and Will Levis, and it was on the cusp of destruction because these guys have day jobs too. But victory! And possibly controversy. Let the boys know what you think about their drafts for your team. Disclaimer...this is what the guys THINK will happen, not how they would have drafted. Mostly.
JP and Dan spent the last few weeks breaking down past drafts, so it was only a matter of time before they would give their takes on this year's crop! Listen as the boys break down "their guys" and "their busts" for the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. Just throwing this out there...you might not agree with all of them. They also add in some of "their beers" and "beer busts" of the last few months for you to keep a lookout for...or to stay away from!
JP and Dan do the totally stereotypical draft week thing and go through their dueling big boards. But unlike those crazy guys that do 300, or even 150, the boys believe in quality over quantity. They break down their top 63 picks, filling up the first two rounds. There's some shockers in there, and believe it or not, they don't agree on all (or most of ) the picks! These guys also go for a different quantity of beverage, toasting to a few nips of Rye rather than Beer this time around. So crack one open, or pull out the stopper and pour a few fingers and let us know how far off they are on all of their choices!
Dan's still down in Florida battling the sound waves, but the boys got together to do a fun little one on one snake draft of the 2023 NFL rookie class. 22 starters, two teams, no rules! Except, you know, having a full team. And no Kickers/Punters. Sorry guys. JP and Dan take a break halfway through to talk about the beers they've had recently, and JP almost leaves the show as Dan waxes poetic about his trip to Cigar City Brewing in Tampa.
Dan is still on the road, and still fighting audio issues, but that doesn't deter the boys from talking about "their guys" and the "busts" that came out of these NFL drafts. Listen on as they brag about the picks they got right, and bust on each other about the ones they got so terribly wrong. Dan also breaks down his visit to Cigar City brewing in Tampa...if you listen closely, you can hear JP fuming that he missed out!

2019 Draft: 17:33
Beer Break: 30:56
2020 Draft: 38:04
Well, this is what happens when we let Dan record from the road. Apologies in advance for his pretty poor audio quality, which kind of fits the "bust" theme, given he should actually be good at this sort of thing. JP and Dan keep marching through past drafts looking at "their guys" and "busts". Check in to listen to how awesome, or terrible these guys were at prognosticating on who would, or wouldn't have a solid NFL career from these drafts.

This is what happens when you don't give JP and Dan any deadlines! The boys go in depth on how their offensive positional rankings have changed since the combine and most of the college pro days have come and gone. They also crack open a beverage or two...which might be why this is their longest episode yet. Maybe check those timestamps...Oh! and check in on the Wide Receivers, the boys may have made a bet!

Safeties: 55:30
JP and Dan have been painting a house and sampling beverages all day, so it only makes sense that they would do a three round mock draft after midnight. It also makes sense that Dan would push the wrong button around pick 58 and scuttle the whole thing. Listen for what the boys think will happen in almost all of the first two rounds of the 2023 NFL draft next month, and get some great tips on beers to snag from Founders!

Which side of the mitten do you stand on?!
JP and Dan have their longest episode in ever as the boys can't seem to shut up about this week's college and NFL games. It probably has something to do with JP's happy hour adventure today.

Just a reminder...it's only Wednesday.

They also take a little beer break to talk about some brews associated with the Bengals-Ravens game from last week. And thar be unicorns among them!
JP and Dan are back in the basement again...because Dan is a glutton for punishment and he can't seem to get this game of golf right. In an effort to get the game of football right however, the boys go through their quarter post mock draft, selecting the players that best fit the teams if through some quantum flux the 2023 NFL draft was held this weekend, instead of, you know, next year. Listen in and remind the boys of how wrong they were when the draft actually rolls around!
Dan and JP are at it again from his basement with intermittent Husky interruptions as the boys recap the latest week of NFL and college games, and more importantly, the players you should be watching as your team either aspires to the playoffs, or the 2023 draft.

JP and Dan drop in a special Sunday episode...because their fantasy draft yesterday was too much ridiculousness to try to record an episode with their league mates.

Also! The boys have some thoughts on what sort of beer you should (and shouldn't) be drinking for your fantasy draft!
Dan and JP are back in the basement recapping both their one on one draft of top prospects for the 2023 NFL draft, and their run through an eight pack of Big Lake Brewery beers in Holland, Michigan.

But before we get there, let's see what these guys have to say...
JP and Dan pull out a mixy sixy of stories each as NFL teams ramp up their training camps. The boys debate whether or not it's a good choice for Jacksonville to have Trevor Lawrence sit out the Hall of Fame game, why the Tennessee Titans can't seem to get out of their own way, and several other small skirmishes as guys that haven't been able to hit anyone in eight months finally get to put on the pads.

Third time's the charm? Or Three Strikes he's Out?!

It's hard to get JP off Linebacker talk when you get him going. The boys also touch on a list of session beers to drink...or skip this summer. Crack one open and enjoy!

Then the boys get into their six pack of Interior D-Linemen and Edge Rushers/Outside Linebackers from 1998-2010 and 2011-2022.
