(upbeat music)
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.
