00:02 - Let's go to this next tier and have the conversation.

00:06 There's a name that jumps out to me at 15.

00:08 I'd love to hear your thoughts, but I'll let you start off.

00:10 Olave is the beginning of this next tier.

00:13 - Yeah, Olave at 13, a guy with a ton of talent,

00:16 inconsistency sometimes from the quarterback play.

00:19 You saw it last year, but the talent is there.

00:21 He's gonna be one of these frustrating guys

00:23 and I don't think it's gonna get less frustrating.

00:25 I'd still want him, but I think as a wide receiver too,

00:27 it makes a little bit more sense there.

00:28 - Nico Collins, this is the name to circle here

00:31 on this list.

00:31 This guy played like a wide receiver one

00:34 last year down the stretch.

00:35 This guy looked like a dude in the playoffs.

00:37 Now granted, and it's unfortunate,

00:40 it did kind of stall out there against the Ravens,

00:42 but look, the Ravens are a great defense.

00:44 But this guy right here, 1297 receiving yards

00:48 on 109 targets, 80 catches, eight touchdowns.

00:51 And he did miss some time here.

00:52 He missed two games last year.

00:54 He only played in 15 regular season games.

00:56 Keep that in mind.

00:57 To me, Nico Collins is closer to Garrett Wilson

01:00 than he is to number 14 on this list.

01:03 So I would be highlighting him, circling him

01:06 as a tremendous value.

01:07 So if you do take McCaffrey or Bijan Robinson

01:10 or Brees Hall in the first round,

01:11 Collins will be a perfect prototypical wide receiver one

01:14 who isn't being valued yet as a wide receiver one.

01:17 Michael Pittman, another guy too, free agent.

01:20 So we're gonna have to see where he lands,

01:21 but I would be hard pressed to think

01:23 that he does not end up back with the Colts.

01:24 So let's keep that in mind.

01:26 Mike Evans, another guy too, free agent.

01:28 We're waiting for Baker Mayfield, a lot of question marks.

01:29 Stephon Diggs, I mean, his season fell apart

01:32 after the first six weeks.

01:33 We've talked about it on the show numerous times.

01:35 Kenan Allen, another year older.

01:36 DK Metcalf, Jalen Waddell.

01:39 Waddell looking for a bounce back with health.

01:40 Still a good by-low candidate.

01:42 Amari Cooper, who is the quarterback for the Browns?

01:46 We guess it's Deshaun Watson.

01:48 Joe Flacco certainly made Amari Cooper

01:50 more valuable in my opinion.

01:51 Rushie Rice, way too low at 22.

01:53 This is absurd, he should be up at 16.

01:56 Kent Dale at 23.

01:57 The size is what's going to limit him,

01:59 so I think this is a good ranking for him at 23.

02:01 And then Cooper Cup all the way at 24.

02:03 Why?

02:04 Because Cooper Cup can't stay on the field.

02:05 Now if we close out here,

02:06 the wide receiver three grouping here.

02:09 You've got Devonta Smith at 25, Tee Higgins at 26,

02:12 Zay Flowers, Calvin Ridley, Drake London,

02:15 Jaden Reed, who had a really strong second half,

02:18 Christian Kirk, Jordan Addison, George Pickens,

02:20 Terry McLaurin, DeAndre Hopkins, and Chris Godwin.

02:23 The guys to circle here are 29 and 30.

02:25 It's Drake London and Jaden Reed.

02:27 If you get quarterback play in Atlanta,

02:29 Atlanta could be special and so could Drake London.

02:31 More on him later on in the second half.

02:33 And then wide receiver four, Jackson Smith and Jigba at 37.

02:37 Another guy with Tyler Lockett probably on his way out.

02:40 JSN could really elevate quickly.

02:43 Christian Watson, we'll talk about him

02:45 in hour two as well at 38.

02:47 Then you have Deontay Johnson, Courtland Sutton,

02:50 Lockett, Marquise Brown, Mike Williams, Jacoby Myers,

02:52 Gabe Davis, Josh Downs, Adam Thielen,

02:55 Jamison Williams.

02:56 So this is where the rookie wide receiver class

02:59 is going to push in.

03:00 Marvin Harrison Jr. is an all world talent.

03:03 He is going to hit the ground running

03:04 and dominate right away.

03:06 He is going to crack wide receiver one.
