Prime Cuts - NFL Draft Breakdown, Can The NBA Fix Tanking? Did Rams Reach For Ty Simpson?

Colin's top takes of the week. First, he's joined by John Middlekauff, host of "3 and Out" to break down the NFL Draft. They start with the Rams drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at pick and why it was shocking for them to pick him so high after a limited sample size in college, but Colin argues if anyone can turn Simpson into a great quarterback…it's Sean McVay (3:00). Colin heaps praise on the Cowboys for drafting Caleb Downs and highlights the massive upgrades Dallas has made to their defense rather than paying Micah Parsons (10:30). They agree that the Bucs got great value in taking Reuben Bain at after experts projected him as a top 10 pick (13:45). They discuss the Chiefs moving up to to take cornerback Mansoor Delane and both agree they had no issues with the trade up to get a much cheaper replacement for Trent McDuffie (15:00). Colin argues that both New York teams did well with their combined 4 first round picks and doesn't see any busts in the group (18:30). Then, he's joined by Jason Timpf, host of "Hoops Tonight" They discuss the controversy and backlash surrounding the NBA playoffs being paywalled behind streaming services and agree it's no different than games being on cable TV (25:00) and what the league can do to address the epidemic of tanking (31:00) (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
