Tek & Prem welcome Breland Moore of Fox 29 Philly on the VetLine to talk NFL Draft. The Eagles nail it with two top-flight defensive backs, Quinyon Mitchell & Cooper DeJean, while also adding a high-upside pass rusher, Jalyx Hunt. The defense is bolstered and the offense adds a highly-ranked running back from Clemson, Will Shipley. Compared to previous drafts especially, the fanbase should be thrilled with the result.

Tek & Prem welcome Luke Arcaini of Fox PHL Gambler on the VetLine to talk Phils. After a slow start they look to rebound in DC with Nola taking the ball.

Tek & Prem look ahead to NFL Free Agency and evaluate the players available at positions of need for the Birds. There are multiple defenders they should be targeting to set Fangio up for success in Year One as Birds DC. The secondary should have a rather new look at the Safety spot as well as the slot, and possibly more. What will Howie do? There will be a new look and a new energy for this football team as they attempt to recapture the NFC Crown, and return to the Super Bowl. The Phillies are i...
