The Cover 3 crew talks NFL Draft, conference realignment, SEC schedules and more. First, what to make of reports that the Big 12 has been in contact with Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah regarding possible westward expansion (4:40) and Nick Saban's response to Alabama's proposed draw for three permanent rivals in a nine-game SEC schedule format (20:10). Then it's on to the NFL Draft Combine, where quarterbacks dominated the headlines (29:17) but college stars from all over the field stood out for both good and disappointing reasons (47:58).
