What insights does Todd McShay share about the 2026 NFL Draft class?
go in odyssey sports station the score people at homes check todd out at the ringer he's doing incredible stuff with todd mcshay show you guys are the not messing around crew i like it afternoons on the score what do you make of this union with ben johnson and everything that you've seen so far in terms of how it's coming together
I know this. It's the right guy for him. I expect to see it like tumultuous, up and down, maybe week to week, series to series at times. But as the season progresses, almost like the stock market, the lows won't dip as low as we saw last year. But it's going to start to click. I truly believe it. And I know that he has the talent and I know that Ben Johnson is the right guy for him.
Under center, Caleb Williams on first and ten takes the snap, fakes the handoff. Works to his right. Now looks. Rainbows. Deep down. The left side for DJ Moore. Over the shoulder. Kept. Touchdown, Chicago.
And the game is over. Unbelievable. We're excited, man.
How does Todd McShay evaluate the Bears' draft needs?
First live show on the road ever for the McShay Show. We chose Chicago because, hey, I just love the city. It's the right place to do it. You've got all these fans from the Big Ten, from Chicago Bears. I just I thought it would be a perfect place to do it. And we're excited. It should be a lot of fun that night. Lincoln Hall is a really cool spot. You're going to love that plate. It's a five-course chef's tasting menu in college football this week. It's a special slate, and it's also a special show. Live from Chicago, Lincoln Hall with my main man, Steve Mensch.
Spiegel and Holmes, afternoons on the score. Todd McShay joins us here on the Spiegel and Holmes show. Does incredible work for the ringer. Thanks for coming back to the show.
You guys are the best, man. You guys are the best. It's my favorite show to go on nationally, I promise. See, the opens are always awesome. You cut out all the dumb things I say. You focus on maybe every once in a while I say something smart. And I appreciate you guys.
We're trying to tell a story, man. Trying to move the ball down the field.
What are the latest developments in Cubs spring training?
We're trying to matriculate the ball down the field, Todd. That's what we do around here. We're excited to have you, man. We dialed in on some spots that we think the Bears are going to pick. They got three spots in the top 60. And we find ourselves dreaming of D-tackle, D-end, and safety. And it doesn't have to be those, but how are we doing on those positions in this particular draft? Can we get happy and get healthy as a roster?
Edge, absolutely. I think that that and wide receiver, those are the two positions that are the strength of this draft. And, you know, I... Are they done it? Are they going to try to maneuver? Is there something else out there at the edge position? Is wide receiver, is that a spot that they're going to look for in the draft early?
How is utilityman Matt Shaw adapting to first base?
I think that's something to keep an eye on, you know, offensive line a little bit. But honestly, interior defensive line is not as strong. And so you're looking at picks, I wrote it down earlier, 25, 57, and 60. And so what can you get in kind of the combination or the trio, if you will, in trying to play to the strength of this year's draft class? I think there's going to be an edge when you pick a 25 that's worth it. And we all know about Arvel Reese, who's kind of going to be a conversion linebacker to edge. We know about David Bailey, who's the best pure pass rusher in this draft. There'll be long gone. Reuben Bain with his shorter arms is still going to be a top 15 pick coming out of Miami. Then it gets interesting.
Then you start to look at the kind of different flavors, if you will. Like Keldrick Falk is a massive dude, only 20 years old coming out of Auburn. He's like 6'6", 270-pound range. I think he's more athletic and has more upside as a pass rusher than people want to give him credit for. But the production's not there.
What reflections does Roberto Garza have on his NFL career?
But I think he'll be gone by 25. I think then you look at, to me, TJ Parker from Clemson is a little bit underrated. He's a long, powerful edge rusher who I think, you know, all the Clemson players, they all underachieved this last year for whatever reason.
