Chapman, Batch & Sam are back after a week off to discuss the trade of the year - Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.

Myles Garrett, fresh off his single-season sack record and Defensive Player of the the Year season is headed to one of the best teams in the entire NFL. After bringing MVP Matthew Stafford back for the 2026 season, the Rams are surely in Super Bowl-or-bust mode right now.

Les Sneed and Sean McVay have a history of trading away first round picks to build a stacked team of talent and it's paid off before. They won the Super Bowl the last time it was held at SoFi Stadium, and this year... it's back in their own back yard again.

With Odell Beckham Jr. returning to the Giants, A.J Brown traded to the Patriots and Derwin James becoming the highest paid Safety in the NFL and much more on the table - only one conversation really needs the airtime.

The 2026 NFL Draft is just two weeks away, and the Hurdle the Line crew is back to highlight "Our Dudes"—the specific prospects we’re planting our flags on this year. Moving past the obvious top-10 locks, Chapman, Ollie, Batch, and Tom dive into the tape to discuss game-changers.

From Indiana's D'Angelo Ponds, to Makai Lemon, we take a look at how our favourite prospects from both sides of the board. Monroe Freeling is fast rising on people's boards and Rueben Bain Jr's news has seen many draft people fall seriously down on him.

We also tackle a massive week of NFL news, including the Dontayvion Wicks trade to the Eagles and what it signals for A.J. Brown’s future in Philly. From the sudden retirement of Falcons tackle Caleb McGarry to the Department of Justice investigating the NFL’s streaming model, we cover the business and the football.
