In other news, the NFL is looking at a plethora of potential rule changes heading into the 2021 season. Wingo and Pauline take a look at the proposed 4th-and-15 onside kick rule, as well as some potentially significant changes to the NFL's current overtime structure.

Pivoting back to the NFL Draft, what are some positions that are currently flying under the radar? The guys break down this year's running back class, debating whether or not we will see any drafted in the first round. They also discuss some other positions like safety and defensive tackle. Finally, they take a look at the tight end landscape after Kyle Pitts, trying to find value in what looks to be a thin TE class in 2021.

Last but not least, Tony Pauline provides us with his most recent news and rumors from around the draft process. Who are some of his most recent risers now that pro days have essentially come to an end? Also, which two players who were once heralded as top-12 selections could actually drop out of the first round altogether?
