Tucker is actually a good game broadcaster. Most of the time he’s a lousy podcaster. It’s obvious he rips things off without much thought. His segues to ads are stupidly lame and his only adjectives seem to be “delicious” for food and “interesting” for everything else. He did get over the up-talking that used to plague him. Now, he’s got to deal with the robotic nature of his podcasting.
I love listening to Emory and Ross talk college, he seems to know everyone from the #1 overall prospect to my third string lineman cousin in at a local D3 school.
Ross and Emory have great chemistry. I enjoy the weekly where Emory will be at lower level games. They seamlessly transition for FCS rankings to SEC football. I feel like I always learn something and it is not a rehash of usual talking points.
Ross “the boss” Tucker has untapped potential as a scout. Let’s hear more of your opinions on players as the draft approaches, Ross!
Keep up the great work!
Ross and Emory Hunt do an amazing job breaking down college players and project them to the NFL. Emory’s knowledge of college players is truly amazing, second to none. I also love when Ross brings on other guests like Greg Cossell and Fran Duffy.
Ross is the perfect guy to host this podcast that discusses college prospects on a weekly, year round basis. What better way to keep tabs on your team’s potential new studs then listening to Ross and his guests break it down like nobody else can. Ross is a former player who is involved with helping kids get recruited by colleges and he also announces college football games. His connections and insight are invaluable. Get to know these kids better than you can just watching highlights on YouTube!
Just another great Ross Tucker podcast.
I downloaded the podcast previewing the offensive line group for the 2021 NFL draft thinking Ross would have some unique insights considering he played OL for many years in the NFL. Instead, his guests drove the conversation and it was obvious Ross had never seen any of these guys play. I've heard Brandon Thorn say the same thing about these O-linemen on different pods. This was disappointing. Yet I'm sure Ross will be handing out bad grades after the draft despite not watching these prospects. Maybe have a daddy soda and watch some OL film.
Every draft pick, every NFL draft prospect, Ross & Matt cover it ALL in this pod. GREAT to hear an in-depth analysis of these guys before they even play a minute in the NFL. These guys know the ins and outs of the NFL & the Draft, and it shows every episode.
Matt and Ross bring the knowledge each and every podcast that combines the details of college football programs and players as a lead-in to the NFL. A great listen each and every week.
This such a good listen - best part is you actually go deep - I have the sickness (football) and I still heard several names I need to go look up. All other pods mock 1st round only - you drop deep knowledge.

Very good insight on the draft. I always listened to you on SiriusXM and enjoyed it. I wish you would have more episodes.
My question is if you were the Steelers GM who would be the 5 guys you are targeting and break down some of those players.
I want Winfield, Chin, Helaire, Dobbins, or Akers
Adding another versatile safety would make the defense unbelievable letting Minkah do a lot more plus edmunds could play more in the box or he steps up to the plate in pass coverage. We need a RB since Conner can’t stay healthy although he is perfectly capable as far as talent.
Please don’t say a QB or OLB
Ross and Matt are great when it comes to evaluating the incoming rookie class. BTW, if you enjoy this sort of thing think about getting Matt’s RSP. It is the most detailed breakdowns and evaluations of rookie prospects you can find
Just started listening to this show. It’s an interesting take from Ross but it is great so far. I can’t wait to see how these college players develop as the draft nears.
Ross and Fran are knowledgeable and have great eyes for finding talent in the college ranks. They bring on guests who are well respected within the draft analyst community to discuss which guys you should hope your team drafts! One of the best podcasts on the NFL Draft/college players.
Like all of Ross’s football podcasts, this one still carries the same as the others. He delivers the facts, insight and opinion, all in one podcast. It’s nice to hear from the point of view of someone whose been in the trenches and can share what it’s like being a player from the college up to the NFL level. Again, more info that I don’t need, but enjoy hearing! Very entertaining!
This is a great podcast full of really useful info. They always let you know who is going to be great in the NFL, the first time i heard of Saquon Barkley was of the collage draft.
Ross knows how to get the right people and have the right conversation with them. The college draft podcast leans heavily on the knowledge Fran Duffy brings to the table and it's fantastic! He does a great job of highlighting the college players to what and why.
This is a great podcast that breaks down the NFL draft. Great podcast for anyone looking to learn more about the NFL draft and some of the best NFL prospects.
Out of all of Ross’s podcasts, this one is the one I listen to more so during the off-season. If I had enough time I would listen to all of them during the season but unfortunately I don’t. I go back and try to re-listen to as many of these as I can leading up to the NFL draft.
Ross and Fran have great rapport. They manage to cover way more than you thought possible in 30 minutes. My favorite part is in June and July when they go team by team, conference by conference and talk about players that are projected to make a big impact, it really gets you ready for the season.
Did you miss the draft? Did your team draft a guy that you never heard of? Then check out this Podcast. Ross Tucker runs a great show with valuable guests and co-hosts. This is a great show. Listen to a few back episodes to get caught up on the draft. Once you do that you will want to subscribe to the show.
Definitely one of the best podcasts around to get info on ALL of the college prospects. Amazing info pouring out of here and helps cure the sickness I have for this sport. Saw a mock draft from reporter Jimmy Kempski and would love to know more about LB from Clemson Dorian O'Daniel and TE Ryan Izzo if possible please.
Great to listen to during the college season and listen back to leading up to the draft. I love going back and listening again about the players the Bengals (my team) drafted.
Exceptional Podcast. One of my 2 must listens along with Ringer GM Street. Fran Duffy and Cossell are exceptional and opinionated guests. College Draft Show is exceptional during process leading up to draft. Ross does an exceptional job putting that Princeton degree to work.
I really don't care much for college football. To me it's way too watered down. However, hearing intelligent discussion about nearly any prospect you could care to learn about is incredible. Fran and Ross do an amazing job fitting a ton of information into a 40ish minute weekly podcast. It has alread paid dividends in fantasy as well.
Only in its 1st year The College Draft with Ross Tucker & Fran Duffy is light years ahead of all the other college draft podcasts. Listen to this and your will learn what the traits are for a future NFL player at each position and Fran will give u a heads up of who are the best prospects before anyone else & why. This is truly my favorite podcast and it will soon be your favorite. Pour yourself a cold one listen & enjoy.
