3-30-26 Hour 2: Zac Stevens joins us/No Dumb Questions

The second hour of the Poulombus, Hastings and DMACC podcast features a deep dive into the Denver Broncos' offseason moves, led by a conversation with Zac Stevens from DNVR following the owners' meetings. The hosts analyze George Payton's strategy of re-signing core players rather than making splashy free-agent signings, highlighting the Jalen Waddle trade as a bold but calculated move that reflects a shift from Payton's traditionally conservative image. They debate whether Payton is truly as risk-averse as once believed, citing major trades like the Russell Wilson deal and the Waddle acquisition as evidence of his willingness to make big swings when necessary. The discussion turns to team culture, with skepticism about the overuse of the term, and a strong endorsement of the current wide receiver room led by Mims, Waddle, and Sutton. The hosts also explore the future of J.K. Dobbins, the need for a backup running back, and the potential for a tight end in the draft. Later, the conversation shifts to the emotional aftermath of a buzzer-beater three-pointer by Braylon Mullins in the UConn-Duke game, with a heated debate over whether Danny Hurley's headbutt on the referee warranted a technical foul. The hosts express mixed feelings—sympathy for Caden Boozer’s mistake, admiration for Mullins’ heroics, and criticism of Hurley’s conduct, while also acknowledging the referee’s discretion in preserving the moment’s integrity.
