HR 3- Alain Poupart on Dolphins & Clayton McCullough Talks Marlins

The Joe Rose Show

About
Hour 3 is split between NFL and MLB storylines, starting with Alain Poupart breaking down the Miami Dolphins draft class and why he believes the team is building with real conviction and shifting toward a tougher, more physical identity compared to the speed-focused approach of previous regimes. He evaluates key picks like Will Kacmarek’s potential role as a pass catcher versus blocker and whether Caleb Douglas was taken at the right value, while also pointing to safety as the biggest remaining roster concern and expecting a veteran addition later in free agency. Poupart also highlights the upside in the wide receiver room and touches on contract outlooks for core players like Aaron Brewer, Jordyn Brooks, and De’Von Achane. The second half shifts to the Miami Marlins, where manager Clayton McCullough joins after a wild series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, breaking down the aggressive late-game approach that led to a bizarre walk-off double play finish and emphasizing the team’s confidence as they continue building momentum behind strong pitching and key performances from players like Sandy Alcantara, Liam Hicks, Xavier Edwards, and Otto Lopez
