In this hour of The Herd, Colin Cowherd and co-hosts dive deep into the 2026 NFL Draft, offering detailed mock picks and analysis of top prospects like Caleb Downs, Jeremiah Love, and Sonny Stiles. They debate positional value, team needs, and the likelihood of trades, with particular focus on the Rams, Chiefs, and Titans. The conversation shifts to the future of Steve Kerr, with Cowherd suggesting Kerr may leave the Golden State Warriors for broadcasting, citing his intellectual coaching style and alignment with a 'fixer' rather than rebuild mentality. The hosts also critique NBA officiating, particularly the flopping by Oklahoma City Thunder players, warning that if the league’s ratings suffer under a less dynamic style, the NBA may intervene like baseball did with hand checks. The episode closes with a look at the college basketball NBA draft, spotlighting under-the-radar talents like Caleb Wilson and Cameron Boozer, and the potential impact of their development on future NBA rosters.
Caleb Downs is a top-tier safety with elite IQ and versatility, comparable to Ed Reed, making him a high-value pick despite positional value concerns.
Steve Kerr is likely transitioning to broadcasting post-Golden State, aligning with a 'fixer' coaching model rather than a rebuild-focused one.
The NBA may soon regulate flopping if viewer engagement declines, especially with teams like OKC playing a less dynamic style.
Teams like the Rams and Eagles may trade up for high-impact players even without urgent needs, prioritizing elite talent over positional gaps.
Cameron Boozer is a highly underrated prospect with a high ceiling, though his lack of verticality raises concerns about NBA fit.
