Episode 481: Next Level

Justin and Dan start the show by looking back at the NFL Draft destinations for Auburn’s three picks from this past weekend. They discuss why the Rams pulled the trigger on Jarquez Hunter, how KeAndre Lambert-Smith fell into a good situation with the Chargers and what the prospects might be for Jalen McLeod with the Jaguars. After that, they look ahead to the 2026 draft class, led by a ton of Keldric Faulk hype.

Then the guys switch over to their state of the offense for 2025, headlined by Hugh Freeze tripling down on his style and his staff after a losing campaign. Justin makes a point about Jackson Arnold and where he could make a big impact for the Tigers in an area of need. Dan shares his thoughts on the running back situation and how this could be a step forward for the offensive line.

This episode also includes a surprising amount of discussion on musicals and some inadvertent slander of an Alabama literary legend. We know Harper Lee has shooters.
