Rashawn, Emmette, Josh, and Keith break down the Chicago Bulls jumping into the top four of the NBA Draft, debate whether Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson, or Cameron Boozer should be the top prospect, and discuss what the Bulls should do with their pick.

The guys also react to the Knicks dominating Philly, the Lakers’ playoff exit, the Spurs’ future with Wemby, and the NFL’s highest-paid players list.

Plus: Bears opening night talk, sleeper NFL teams, LaMelo Ball’s baby name, “one gotta go” debates featuring early-2000s point guards and tight ends, and the wild viral sports-world drama around Mike Vrabel.

In this episode of The Rashawn Franklin Show, Rashawn, Josh, Keith, and Emmette recap the biggest moments of the weekend, starting with Caleb Williams’ unreal 20-yard scramble-back touchdown dime in freezing Chicago conditions—and what it says about his arm talent, composure, and ceiling as a franchise QB.

The crew debates skill vs luck on miracle plays, compares Caleb’s style to Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Mahomes, and breaks down why having elite talent is only half the battle if the coaching and roster-building don’t match. They also dive into Buffalo moving on from Sean McDermott, the future of Josh Allen, NFC and AFC championship picks, and the latest coaching hires across the league—including what’s next for the Ravens, Giants, and Falcons.

From superstar QB flashes to “what are we doing?” play-calls, this one is a full playoff recap with real takes, real laughs, and real football talk.
