Enjoy the show but Field in the words of Jerry Seinfeld is too much of a “Fast Talker.” At times it is almost impossible to understand what he is saying.

Rated every teams draft except Browns! AFC North last in queue so I wasted 45 minutes waiting. Do better!

The show hurts with the loss of McShay, but it falls off a cliff with Yates as the counterpart to Kiper like an ACME anvil. Yates is like a high school essay. 80% crappy fluff that does mean anything, 10% of information we get off of NFL Live and similar shows, the last 10% is real meat for...Read full review »

Enough of the Yates bashing. I’ve been surprised how fantastic he’s been as both host and analyst. You can tell the guy has legitimately done his homework and is passionate about the subject matter.

Mel loses connection allot over the year with bad internet connection. Can you make it where Yates and Kiper do podcast together? Seems like this has affected allot of episodes over the last few years. Also see they still have Todd Mcshay as a host on the information of the podcast.

I love Mel, the Godfather of the draft. He’s an icon within the NFL draft culture. Still at the top of his game and worth listening for him alone. Field is the consummate pro, super detail oriented, allows Mel to be the star and fills in around him perfectly as a good host should. I think he has...Read full review »

Once again ESPN is trying to make Yates an analyst. He is a mediocre show host when surrounded by actual analysts, but he is not an expert on the draft or fantasy football.
skullpuppy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
The information is fantastic, but the sound quality makes this a very hard listen. It sounds like they are recording the podcast from inside a phone booth. Come on ESPN, spend a little more on your talent. Update - ESPN letting McShay go was pretty much a death blow to this podcast.

I’ve enjoyed this podcast for years, but can we dispense with pretending that Field Yates is a draft expert. We listen for Mel. Field Yates stop talking.
Sean Pennypacker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
Headline says it all. Allowing Field to host and also use his actual scouting experience is a great move. Audio has improved vastly as well. Please keep this lineup. This is the one.

I’m sorry but Yates is awful. Need to get another host ASAP.
bobby fenno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
ESPN never should have parted ways with Todd McShay. He and Mel Kiper had such great chemistry together. The new guys they have, Miller and Reid (?), seem knowledgeable, but they lack the charisma of their predecessors. If you want some general info on prospects, this podcast is fine, but it’s...Read full review »

This show was Mel and Todd. Without them, you don’t have their chemistry, or knowledge. Disappointed and will no longer listen.
JMS32205 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/23
The information you can and will get from this podcast is great… if you can get past the substandard audio that a sports mogul like ESPN puts out. You would think that a multi Billion dollar company would have state of the art recording equipment and be able to have their podcasts produced...Read full review »

Fired McShay…major mistake. This is the cheap version of Kiper/McShay.
Rich9678 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/23
When McShay and Kiper were on I was always frustrated there weren’t more episodes and more content. Now I find myself to be very meh about new episodes. No McShay was an obvious loss but now not even regular appearances from Mel? This pod was one of my favorites but Matt and Jordan can’t carry it...Read full review »

This show has really fallen off. The new guys might as be talking something else because they’re not delivering what Todd McShay brought. I’m not convinced Jordan Reed knows more than my mailman.
RyanBald via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
All due respect, Mel and Todd were this podcast. Unfortunate to see both gone without much said at all.
Wsfoot8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/23
Jordan is a dope.
Haole RJ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/23
Idk how espn can even release something with audio quality this bad. It’s like they’re recording on a karaoke machine. The analysts are so boring and deliver their bits like they just rolled out of bed and Yates comes in so hot in comparison. Infinitely worse this year than years past.
HAHAHAHAWillHAHAHAHA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/23
This used to be my go-to pod; however, with McShay gone, it’s sort of terrible. Def unsubscribing
BohManStan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/23
Get rid of Todd, Todd, Todd and replace with a garbage diversity hire. ESPN just stinks.
Falloon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/23
It is so great to hear Jordan and Matt talk about college athletes, especially QBs. They are very knowledgeable and bring a fresh perspective. I love listening to them. However, it is embarrassing that in 2023 for ESPN the hosts audio is so bad, I thought something was wrong with my headphones....Read full review »

At least bring back Mel
Joe simpson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/23
I have loved this show for years, the whole crew, but with McShay fired from ESPN I’m out. Bad business.
aluky3456 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/23
The content of the pod is great but the background noise and sound quality is terrible, the constant poor contention with Mel Kiper and Todd Mcshay ‘s audible sniffing and noise when not speaking makes it barely listenable
footballfanuk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/09/23
I don’t care who else is on the show , listening to Mel talk about prospects with his enthusiasm is just great. The amount of detail and descriptions are incredible
Taxbutter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
This podcast has great content. But the production is unprofessional. Mel’s audio is terrible and Todd doesn’t use the mute when Mel talks. If Yates is producing he should be ashamed. Do they not listen prior to posting? Any kind of quality control. ESPN stop being box checkers and hacks. You...Read full review »
Dkl3in10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/23
Your sound quality is beyond sub par you’re the biggest multimedia sports company in the world and you can’t figure out how to get everyone to mute their mic when not talking or have a producer do it the clicking is unbearable to listen to whenever Mel is talking. Absolutely insane. Every...Read full review »

Can someone please fix Mel’s mic issue it is now multiple episodes in a row. It is almost impossible to listen to. When mics work it is a 5/5
link8252 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/23
Overall solid podcast but the quality of the audio is horrible. It makes the podcast very hard to listen to
Dan Becks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/23
I get so excited to listen then half the time Mel’s audio feed is so bad I cant. You work for Disney get some equipment sent to Mel’s house fellas
bearscohen29 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/23
Please for the love of God have Mel upgrade his call quality - painful. Also would definitely prefer a twice a week at least leading up to draft - didn’t get much coverage outside of the top 12 teams picking. Could’ve done more for the other teams
J.Cade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/23
These stooges can’t get a decent audio feed for a remote Kiper. Lame. C’mon grandpas
Burnplant via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/23
This is ESPN? The sound is awful and there are ongoing extraneous sounds. Do you have any respect for your audience? Apparently not.
Mmdean via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/23
Audio issues make this something I can’t even listen to or watch. If I actually heard them I don’t think it would be worth the listen anyway.
FFAudience via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/23
Is this a joke, never heard such terrible audio and you go ahead and post it without stopping during recording. Can’t believe ESPN attaches their name to something of such embarrassingly terrible quality sound.
NFL Pod Listener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/23
The connectivity issues are brutal at times. Love to hear deeper analysis on position groups, not just top of the draft regurgitation.
kei1hbryan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
Once again, sounds like Kiper is in a cabin in the woods and McShay calling in from a walkie talkie
TyCarter0 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
I really enjoy Mel and Todd’s commentary and Field’s hosting, but the sound quality and production on this podcast makes it really difficult to listen to. Someone is always coughing in the background, the volume levels are way off between speakers and a lot of other sound issues (on a recent...Read full review »

Biggest draft analysts in the game, so the prospect content is very good. But the audio quality is well below what should be ESPN’s standard. The schtick between McShay and Kiper has gotten cringe-worthy.
