On this week's podcast, I sat down for conversations with Don Van Natta, investigative reporter for ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com, and Steve Palozzolo, football analyst for inside-football site Pro Football Focus.

Van Natta breaks down his recent story with Seth Wickersham on the meetings between NFL ownership and players regarding the national anthem protests. Van Natta talks about the future of Roger Goodell as NFL commissioner, explains why Goodell empathizes with the players in the current rift with owners about the national anthem, and why this is a watershed moment for the league. Van Natta also talks about how hard it is to dig for information among NFL owners.

Steve Palazzolo gives us his top-rated quarterback for the 2018 NFL Draft (it’s a surprise). He explains why this class of quarterbacks is overrated, and why he has problems with both presumptive high first-round picks, Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold.
