On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff breaks down the key differences between how NFL and NBA teams approach the draft—from evaluating traits and production to projecting long-term upside in two very different leagues.
John also looks ahead to Cincinnati and asks the big question: is this finally the year for Joe Burrow and the Bengals? What needs to go right, and where do they stack up in a loaded AFC?
Plus, a deep dive into Tampa Bay potentially landing a steal in the draft with Rueben Bain, why the pick could pay off in a big way, and how he fits into the Bucs’ roster moving forward.
To wrap things up, it’s the Middlekauff Mailbag, answering your questions and covering a wide range of topics from around the league.
