The Rich Eisen Show

Penn State All-American linebacker Micah Parsons tells Rich why he believes he has the drive and ability to become one of the best linebackers in the NFL, reveals which teams are the most interested in drafting him and if he played Rock-Paper-Scissors vs Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, and why reaching the NFL means much more to him than just getting to play football on Sundays.  Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell tells Rich how he’s getting his coaches involved in this year’s RunRichRun campaign, when he first knew he wanted to become a coach during his 11-year NFL playing career, how legendary head coach Bill Parcells influenced his no-nonsense coaching style, why he’s “fired up” to have Jared Goff as the Lions QB, his team’s approach to the draft with the 7th overall pick, and how his family (and dentist) reacted to his “teeth kicked in” comments at his opening press conference in Detroit. TJ and Brockman wrap up the hour revealing who they predict the Cowboys and Patriots will select with their first-round picks in next week’s NFL Draft.

Rich begins the hour revealing his “Come @ Me!!” Mock Draft 2.0 for the top of the NFL Draft with a twist: using a Magic 8 Ball to assess the odds his picks will come true.  Pro Football Hall of Famer and NFL Network Analyst Kurt Warner and Rich discuss who the 49er could take with the 3rd overall pick in the NFL Draft, if athleticism or the ability to process information is the more important trait in quarterbacks, if the Jets would be smart to select BYU’s Zach Wilson with the #2 pick, where Ohio State QB Justin Fields could land in the draft, if the Falcons should take the successor to Matt Ryan with the 4th pick in the draft, and why he’s ESPECIALLY excited for this year’s RunRichRun event.  Rich and the guys wrap up the hour debating on which is the more important trait win quarterbacks: the ability to make plays or the ability to read defenses and make pre-snap reads?

Oregon’s All-American, Lombardi Trophy-winning OT Penei Sewell and Rich discuss the chances he’ll be chosen by the Bengals in the NFL Draft and what’s the strangest question he’s been asked in the pre-draft interview process, that ONE TIME he gave up a sack in nearly 1400 career snaps, the possibility of being reunited with his Ducks QB Justin Herbert on the Chargers, and the warrior mentality approach he takes when stepping into the playing field. ESPN Senior NFL Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. and Rich discuss his 38 years covering the draft and how he got his start at ESPN, how coverage of the draft and reaction to critiques of teams’ selections have changed drastically over the years, the 49ers’ approach in choosing who to take at #3, the Falcons’ and Bengals’ options at #4 and #5, why he ranks Justin Fields the 2nd-best QB in the draft class and why the Jets are taking Zach Wilson at #2, and if the Cowboys should move up to draft Florida Tight End Kyle Pitts.
