Friday Mailbag: Improving NFL's Coaching Diversity, Senior Bowl Standouts & Falcons Trade Values

Aaron answers over a dozen listener questions including on the NFL's need to improve coaching diversity, Senior Bowl standouts that could be Atlanta Falcons' targets, and the trade value of various Falcons like Calvin Ridley.

He breaks down the challenges for black candidates to become head coaches in today's NFL, the price range for Foye Oluokun and Isaiah Oliver, and the Falcons' salary cap situation entering free agency.

Then he answers a question over whether the Falcons can find an adequate replacement for Grady Jarrett in the draft if they trade him, whether Senior Bowl standouts like Malik Willis and Jermaine Johnson are now options for the Falcons in the first round, if the "wide open" NFC South puts more pressure on the team to win now, and whether Arthur Smith improving his play-calling in 2022 will be enough to lift the Falcons to the playoffs.

Finally, he discusses the potential trade compensation for Calvin Ridley, Jake Matthews, Matt Ryan and Grady Jarrett. Then he discusses the polarizing topic of recasting T'Challa in Black Panther 2, his favorite position to scout, and his Super Bowl watch party plans.
