With Darren Urban and Dani Sureck back from Indianapolis, they have an emotional reunion with Paul Calvisi (OK, not so emotional) as the trio downloads Scouting Combine leftovers and impending free agency next week. Among the topics, the rise of QB J.J. McCarthy and the possibility of a fourth quarterback in the top four picks; how defensive linemen are proving so freaky athletic; the many good options the Cardinals will have in the first round, trade or not; how the hype for draftees doesn't mean they all will pan out; the potential path of the Cardinals in free agency; a debate over if the Cardinals should/need to add a running back; and the future of Hollywood.

Paul Calvisi wants to hold Darren Urban accountable - and Dani Sureck may just be an innocent bystander - on the latest Cardinals Underground. That's important during draft week, when a trade could still happen (only when the Cardinals are on the clock, because that is common sense), as teams who might want to trade up are considered, how there are no "fair" trades this high in the draft, when the Cards need to consider what makes sense with 27 and 35, how fans have loved MHJ, when comments are close to the vest right now, and when the 20th anniversary of the Larry Fitzgerald 2004 draft has arrived.

It's trivia time for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck, so PC tries to stump the panel - and somehow, that leads us into the show. There is still the latest national conversations about what will happen in the draft and what the Cardinals might do, the trade possibilities, what positions the Cardinals need and when, the depth of receiver in this class and what it might mean, adding future draft picks, the players coming back into the facility for the offseason program, Trey McBride's bright future, Kyzir White's return, Paul and his gloves, and the welcoming Sureck family home.

Mocking Darren Urban for his mock draft work? Sounds about right. But Darren, Paul Calvisi and Dani Sureck are maneuvering through the draft silly season as best they can. With a few weeks to go, there are still lots of scenarios - some with trades, some with QB cornucopias, adding to the debate that includes drafting for 2025, top 7 wide receiver picks, inside linebacker importance, running backs on the draft radar, finding players who will stick their face in the fan, the upcoming start of the offseason program, trading up from 27, and the trio's thoughts on their own Masters meal.

Sure, the draft is still a few weeks away, but in the end, that's where the conversation is going to drift. So here Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck discuss the quarterbacks rising/falling/holding firm in the draft talk, what teams might want to draft a QB (and perhaps talk to the Cardinals about a trade), why any trade would be unlikely before draft night, way too many mock drafts, defining "generational," the Cardinals' biggest roster needs right now, the importance of nailing the first-round picks, Cheeto the dog and Paul's obsession with the coming eclipse.

Darren Urban has returned from the NFL meetings - hence the day's delay for the podcast - and so he, Paul Calvisi, and Dani Sureck have plenty to talk about, including what the Cardinals could do at No. 4 in the draft. A trade? What would the "QB surcharge" might be? Discussion points include J.J. McCarty's "rise" on draft boards and Drake Maye's "drop," options the Cardinals might have, dumb trade suggestions floating out there, "It's good to be Monti," the Cardinals holding another joint practice, two Wednesday games on Christmas, one division for Hard Knocks, and Dani's resemblance to Susanna Hoffs.

Still more than a month to the draft, but there are free agents to analyze and lots of what-ifs of what the Cardinals might do in late April. Perfect podcast fodder for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck, who discuss if Minnesota will want to package its two first-round picks to move up (and what that might mean); the importance of wide receiver for the Cardinals and the current regime; the smokescreen period of the NFL; the friendship and potential impact of Bilal Nichols and Justin Jones; Mack Wilson's potential in the defense; what Sean Murphy-Bunting can do at cornerback; moving on from Hollywood and Rondale; and not forgetting aliens, casitas, snail mail and how QBs once sat for five years to learn.

As the Cardinals start the new league year, they say goodbye to the longest-tenured player, but also bring in a bunch of new ones as free agency got underway. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck talk about all of it – from D.J. Humphries' legacy to new tackle Jonah Williams, the additions of defensive tackles Bilal Nichols and Justin Jones to help the defensive line, whether Sean Murphy-Bunting will play inside or outside, and a rousing game of who does this QB play for now? BUT FIRST a special bonus intro about the Desmond Ridder trade, because there is too much stuff happening to keep up.
