00:00You said the numbers for some of those guys you mentioned for first overall pick are pretty

00:05huge because I was saying this in the break.

00:08It seems like there's this consensus that Ward, Sanders, and Travis Hunter, like nobody's

00:14beside, they're the top three no matter who's picking, whatever the order is.

00:18I don't think that's the case whatsoever, and I know you don't think that's the case

00:22either.

00:23No.

00:24I totally agree with you.

00:25And Doris Sanders probably ends up going third, fourth type of deal.

00:30Listen, let's just say hypothetically it plays out the way that it is right now.

00:34The New England Patriots have the top pick.

00:36I'm with Mike.

00:37I don't think teams are going to get crazy.

00:39They'll make a call and they'll see what do you want.

00:41When the Patriots tell them we want your next year first round pick and this and that, they're

00:45going to go, ah, we'll take our chances and see what happens in the draft because we know

00:49you're not taking.

00:50Are the Patriots taking a quarterback, guys?

00:52One million percent no.

00:55No.

00:56They love Drake.

00:57No, no, no, no.

00:58They're not taking a quarterback.

00:59So, let's say the Patriots have the top pick and they don't trade the pick, I'm with you

01:04as well.

01:05People, oh, you're going to take Travis Hunter, he plays both sides.

01:08Travis Hunter is a luxury item, guys.

01:11He's not a great wide receiver.

01:13He's, you know what I mean, he gets open and he's good at open space.

01:17He's not some great route runner or anything like that.

01:20He's a great competitor.

01:21I'm not knocking a kid down.

01:22He's a great football player and I love him on my football team, but it's not the number

01:26one pick in the draft, guys.

01:28The New England Patriots have a million holes.

01:30Yeah, let's take this kid because, you know, he's flashy.

01:33No, it's like hardball what he did with the charges, Mike.

01:35What did he do?

01:36Took Joe Alt, your boy.

01:38You know what I mean?

01:39Took Joe Alt.

01:40Like, if you're the Patriots, you got Drake May, you're not thinking, oh, we'll get him

01:43a wide receiver or whatever.

01:45No.

01:46You know who helps Drake May the best?

01:48Kelvin Banks helps him the best.

01:50Kelvin Banks is 50 to 1 right now to be the top pick.

01:53Guys, Mason Graham out of Michigan is also 50 to 1.

01:57Carver, he's been projected to go to the Patriots the whole time with the third or fourth pick,

02:02bro.

02:03Like, Mason Graham could be the top pick and Cam Ward could go, you know, Cam Ward could

02:09go sixth to the Raiders or whatever, whatever, who has the sixth pick now and is bouncing

02:13around and the Giants could get Cam Ward at three because the Jags ain't taking a quarterback.

02:19No.

02:20Right?

02:21Jags ain't taking a quarterback with the second pick either.

02:23So like Mike said, if you're an NFL team, you just kick back, you call their bluff,

02:27and then you're like, all right, we know the Giants at three, they'll probably take Cam

02:31Ward.

02:32I'm telling you guys now, the Giants will get scared of Shador Sanders.

02:35They're not, you think the Maris want to deal with Dion and Shador and stuff?

02:38As if.

02:39It never works out this way, but when you're picking in the top three and the top five,

02:45you need to get players who could change your course immediately.

02:50Now that, now a lot, everyone doesn't, we know that.

02:53We watched the draft every year, but you're banking on taking a player that is going to

02:59change the course of your franchise.

03:01You don't pick, I mean, I know a lot of teams do pick at the top of all time.

03:03And Mike, a player that you think is going to be on my team for the next 10 to 12 years

03:08as a pro bowler.

03:09Right?

03:11Hunter is a hell, he's a great, great player.

03:14Great competitor.

03:15I think he's, it's awesome what he does play on both sides.

03:17I don't know if you take him first, second, third, that your team is just automatically

03:22drastically changed.

03:23I mean, I think you're right.

03:25He's a, you add him to a team that's already pretty good.

03:30And that's a huge luxury, a huge piece that you have that you can add in.

03:33And if I'm a team that maybe makes the playoffs this year and he slips to the five, six, seven

03:37range, I'm thinking about jumping up and getting him and adding him to my team.

03:42Cause that's a, he's a game changer for a team like that.

03:44I don't think he's a game changer for these awful teams that we're watching every week

03:48that need something substantial line quarterback, a pass rusher, things like that, that really

03:54turn your team in another way.
