The Right Time with Bomani Jones

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the 2025 NFL Draft and the first round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show with a deep dive on Shedeur Sanders sliding to the 5th round and why the Cleveland Browns drafted him despite already taking Dillon Gabriel (3:14). Bo proceeds to say why mock drafts are for stupid people (9:35) and that we see plenty of college players fall every year in the NFL Draft (13:20). Bo pushes back at the idea that Shedeur's situation is similar to Colin Kaepernick's (14:29) and that ultimately Deion Sanders is at fault for overplaying their hand (27:32). Next, Bomani moves onto the NBA playoffs where he says why we knew this wasn't the Los Angeles Lakers year to win it all (36:11) and that he's ready for Anthony Edwards to continue to "slay the dragon." (39:07) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the 'worst job in America,' why robots can't make Nike's and Uber's shady practices (41:36). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've heard playing pickup basketball (48:54).
