Roster Management, December Meetings and Draft Prep with guest Eric Stokes
For some, the Christmas season means things slow down; for NFL front offices, things are just heating up. Whether you are a team in the playoffs, on the bubble, or have already been eliminated, decisions about 53 and beyond are in full swing. Neil and I ask Eric Stokes all the questions he had to deal with as a college director, scout and assistant General Manager. What factors are teams weighing late in the year? What is discussed during December meetings that shape the spring scouting schedule? We also talk 4 players that will surely be called come April's NFL Draft: CB/WR Travis Hunter, OL Will Campbell, QB Jalen Milroe and TE/WR Colston Loveland. Insight into a teams process this time of year you will not hear anywhere else -
Oh, and a little Nebraska Cornhuskers talk as well.....
