In this episode of Last Night’s Game, Amy and Scott break down everything you need to know about the NFL Draft in a way that’s approachable, entertaining, and actually useful in real-life conversations.

From the evolution of the draft into a massive, city-wide event to the surprising shift in quarterback trends, this episode gives you the context behind what everyone will be talking about this week.

You’ll also hear the story of projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza, who is choosing to skip the spotlight and spend draft night at home with his family, plus a look at how NFL Draft fashion has turned into a red carpet moment for players entering the league.

We also get into the behind-the-scenes politics of the draft, including how rumors, strategy, and “smoke and mirrors” can impact where players land.

If you’ve ever felt out of the loop when sports come up, this episode makes it easy to jump into the conversation with confidence.


The Last Night's Game podcast is here to take the awkwardness out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports.

From Breakups to Batmobiles: Inside The NFL’s Spicy Off-Season

Beginner’s guide to fantasy football (minus the stats)

Not ready for football season chatter at work? We’ve got you covered.

It’s everything you need to sound like you’ve been paying attention, all without watching a single snap.
