Ep. 1001 - An early theme is developing through the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft: the Arizona Cardinals like offense. After selecting running back Jeremiyah Love in the first round, the Cardinals drafted offensive lineman Chase Bisontis in the second round and quarterback Carson Beck in the third round. The Beck addition is where the discussion begins between Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman - that's right, the show goes Cover 3 to close out Day 2. Craig, Dani and Zach talk about the player first and then the fit within the quarterback room before addressing Bisontis and what his addition means for the offensive line as well as the offense overall. And at the end of the show, cake is served! (Thanks, Dani!)

Ep. 1000 - It's a milestone episode, so we got to go big, right Bird Gang?! Big as in No. 3 overall pick big. Running back Jeremiyah Love joins the show. He speaks with Craig Grialou and Darren Urban not even 24 hours after being selected by the Arizona Cardinals. Craig and Darren get Love's thoughts on draft night, the "new standard" he wants to set at his position, the expectations that come with being a top-3 pick, and what he hopes to accomplish wearing a Cardinals uniform. Then Dave Pasch, play-by-play voice of the Cardinals, stops by to talk with the guys. He called two of Love's games at Notre Dame, and he sees no reason why Love can't have the same success with the Cardinals as he did in college.

Ep. 999 - A shock to some, a surprise to many. The Arizona Cardinals made Jeremiyah Love, the running back out of Notre Dame, the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. His talent is undeniable, and in the end, it was that talent - as well as who he is as a person - that made the selection a no-brainer. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck react to the pick, and then discuss what they heard from Love, GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Mike LaFleur. Plus, Zach Gershman joins the show from Pittsburgh; he was boots on the ground. Craig and Dani get Zach's thoughts, and more importantly, his perspective on what he saw and what he heard from Love and the Bird Gang in attendance at the draft.

Ep. 998 - With the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Jeremiyah Love, the running back out of Notre Dame. He becomes the first at his position to be selected in the top-3 since 2018. So, what do we think Bird Gang? We get some immediate reaction as former Cardinals linebacker and current radio analyst Rob Fredrickson joins Craig Grialou at the top of the show. Then, following Love's conference call with local reporters, Darren Urban joins Craig. What did Love have to say about joining the Cardinals? The expectations he has for himself? For the team? Plus, how does Love fit within the Mike LaFleur offense? Within the running back room? It's a 'Love Story.'

Ep. 997 - It's story time with Darren. After spending part of the weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame - with the Hall's newest inductee Larry Fitzgerald - Darren Urban joins Craig Grialou to discuss the trip; why he, Fitz, and the rest of the 2026 Hall of Fame Class were in attendance. Then Craig and Darren dive into the draft, which is now just three days away. What do the Cardinals do at pick 3? Do they stick and pick? And if so, what is the likelihood the selection is Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love? Or might the Cardinals trade down? And is the Ty Simpson-talk simply a smokescreen? Also, Craig and Darren discuss the report Jacoby Brissett is not attending Phase 1 of the voluntary offseason program.

Ep. 996 - A week out and the uncertainty remains. The Cardinals could go in a number of different directions with the third overall pick. And which ever direction they choose, they have to get it right. Though it happens, teams selecting that high in the draft "can't miss" on a prospect, according to Paige Dimakos, the president and CEO of The Draft Network. On Wednesday, she joined Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman to give her thoughts on the 2026 draft class overall, who she likes for the Cardinals at 3, weighs in on the debate between premium and non-premium positions, plus talks Ty Simpson. Yes, the Alabama quarterback was a topic on the day he was reportedly in town on a Top-30 visit.

Ep. 995 - Currently, the Arizona Cardinals are scheduled to make the third overall selection in next week's draft. Do they stick and pick? And if so, then who are the most likely targeted prospects? Do they trade down? And if so, then how far down might be too far? All great questions. And all questions Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck attempted to answer with the help of Trevor Sikkema, co-host of the NFL Stock Exchange. Sikkema rejoins the show, adding his thoughts on whether an offensive lineman or edge rusher should be the choice of GM Monti Ossenfort; what offers a higher return on investment, is there a pass-rusher who stands out among the others, and how might the non-premium position players affect the top of the draft.

Ep. 994 - Day 1 is important. Day 1 is a reset. And for the Arizona Cardinals Day 1 also represented a new beginning. The Mike LaFleur era is officially underway. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the start of the offseason strength and conditioning program; what were their takeaways listening to Hjalte Froholdt and Zaven Collins speak with reporters. Plus, Craig and Zach explain the reason LaFleur is so focused on the mechanics of the huddle, the chip that likely rests on Nick Rallis' shoulder, the idea behind better communication improving the overall defense, and with two weeks to go before the draft, is offensive line becoming less of an option at pick 3? Zach updates the Cardinals Mock Draft Tracker.
