In this episode of The Big 3 in 30 NFL, hosts Ross Jackson and team members from the Locked On Podcast Network break down the latest developments as the NFL Draft approaches. The Tennessee Titans, holding the fourth overall pick, are evaluating top prospects like Jeremiah Love, Reuben Bain, and Carnell Tate, with a focus on how draft visits serve not just as evaluations but as opportunities to resolve lingering concerns about character, medical history, or fit. The Chargers are under scrutiny for being the least improved team in free agency, despite signing key players like Keaton Mitchell and Tyler Biotish, due to their failure to address their glaring offensive line needs with a starting-level guard. The Eagles, with the 23rd pick, are seen as targeting offensive tackle Monroe Freeling as their top realistic first-round option, though wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is also a strong candidate. The episode highlights the tension between strategic planning and the unpredictability of the draft board, with teams balancing value, need, and long-term vision. The episode also features multiple sponsor segments, including FanDuel, Indeed Sponsored Jobs, Home Chef, and 5-Hour Energy, each promoting their products with exclusive offers for listeners. Overall, the tone is analytical and forward-looking, emphasizing preparation, strategic decision-making, and the importance of addressing core team weaknesses. The hosts maintain a balanced, informed perspective, acknowledging both the optimism around new signings and the frustration over unmet needs, particularly with the Chargers. The episode concludes with a call to action for fans to engage with the network’s clubs and shows.
Draft visits are not just about interest—they’re often used to resolve concerns about character, medicals, or fit.
The Chargers’ offseason is criticized for failing to address their biggest need: a starting guard, despite having cap space.
The Titans’ number four pick could go to Jeremiah Love, Reuben Bain, or Carnell Tate, but value concerns make Carnell Tate a risky choice.
The Eagles’ top realistic first-round target is offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, though wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is also highly valued.
Teams must balance positional need, player value, and long-term development when building their draft strategy.

The Titans’ Draft Strategy and the Meaning of 30 Visits
“Draft visits aren't always what you might think they are. Yes, the Titans are interested in a player. They wouldn't bring in a player that they weren't interested in for a visit but a lot of the times rather than just oh, we want to bring this player in and have an official visit with him because we like him. A lot of the time it's to confirm something.”
Chargers’ Offseason: Progress or Missed Opportunity?
“It's hard to get super excited about the small moves or smaller moves like the Charlie Kohlers and the Alec Ingolds and the Keaton Mitchells when you didn't address the biggest need.”
Eagles’ First-Round Targets: Freeling, Cooper, and Beyond
“If I had to predict based on what schools the Eagles like to take players from... I think Monroe Freeling might be their number one guy.”

A lot of the time it's to confirm something.”
“I don't see the value there. I don't see Carnell Tate as a number one wide receiver in the NFL, and if you're not a number one wide receiver in the NFL, I can't take you over Jeremiah Love, Reuben Bain, David Bailey, Arvel Reese.”
“It's hard to get super excited about the small moves or smaller moves like the Charlie Kohlers and the Alec Ingolds and the Keaton Mitchells when you didn't address the biggest need.”
