Dave Helman sits down with former Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera to understand what happens behind the scenes during the NFL Draft. Dave talks to Coach about the process of drafting a franchise quarterback and his experience using the first overall pick on Cam Newton in 2011. Dave also asks Rivera - who played linebacker for the Chicago Bears from 1984-1992 - about the Bears' outlook with Caleb Williams expected to be the 1st overall selection of the 2024 draft. Coach discusses preparing for all scenarios in advance, the balance between drafting for need versus best player available, navigating the trade market, and weighing positional value. Finally, Coach gives Dave insight on the decision-making process that led to the Panthers drafting linebacker Luke Kuechly and running back Christian McCaffrey.
