About the episode

Welcome back to The McShay Show! The guys open by reflecting on the Senior Bowl and how their past few weeks of scouting and reporting have affected the ranking of Todd’s top 100 prospects. Then, they go through their favorite risers from the group, including Texas WR Matthew Golden, Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo, and more. To close the show, Todd and Steve interview Ravens GM Eric DeCosta in a wide-ranging conversation that covers the behind-the-scenes story of drafting Lamar Jackson and what DeCosta’s learned from Ozzie Newsome.
