00:00Everyone's in the plus money here, but some far deeper than others.

00:07Yeah.

00:08Tyra kill last year led the league in receiving yards.

00:12It was close though, 1799 to CD lambs, 1749, but the trend line certainly seemed to be

00:19going in CD lambs favor as the second half unfurled and look, Tyra kills dealing with

00:24some injuries off and on last season, another year older, he's looking to get a new contract

00:29apparently to, he's a plus five 50, Justin Jefferson, a plus 700 kind of surprising in

00:34between him and lamb, uh, at seven 50 is lamb and Jefferson with Sam Darnold and JJ McCarthy

00:42playing quarterback.

00:43I'm a little skeptical and get quite to that level of the 1600, 1700, Justin Jefferson's

00:49unbelievable talent, but he's not playing with Kirk cousins anymore and there's going

00:53to be a learning curve eventually whenever we transition to JJ McCarthy and Sam Darnold

00:57is not exactly, how do I put this prolific?

01:00Is that a nice kind way of saying he's not a prolific passer at this stage in his life.

01:05So whatever that amalgamation is, I'm going to cross Jefferson off that board.

01:09I'm on Ross.

01:10St. Brown is intriguing at plus 1000, but not more intriguing to me than CD lamb at

01:14plus seven 50.

01:15Now Jamar chase is that guy too at plus 1400 that you could see a healthy year for Joe

01:22burrow, maybe more protection from that offensive line.

01:26They still got T Higgins.

01:28They've got Jermaine Burton.

01:29They've got depth at wide receiver.

01:31You really got to account for as a defense now.

01:34And you could see Jamar chase leapfrogging all these guys.

01:37So looking at this board for me, I'm circling CD lamb because of the trend line, the way

01:42things are going, regardless of the walking boot we talked about with Dak Prescott, it

01:45is only July, but Jamar chase a plus 1400.

01:49We haven't seen the big giant.

01:53I'm the best wide receiver in football year from Jamar chase yet.

01:56We've seen glimpses of it.

01:58We've seen stretches of it, but between his health, unfortunately at times, and Joe burrow's

02:03health is unfortunately at times we haven't gotten it yet.

02:07This could be that year where it all gets put together.

02:09And I think that's something to keep in mind.

02:11And when you're looking at odds at plus 1400, it's something to really consider.

02:14It's also something consider when you're looking at the order in which these guys are drafted.

02:18Now CD lamb goes ahead of Tyreek Hill most of the time yet here in Vegas, we have a clear

02:25gap here between Tyreek Hill and CD lamb.

02:28I don't see that at all.

02:29All the targets are going where they're going to CD lamb because there's not a lot else

02:33there.

02:34Right.

02:35And cooks.

02:36I mean, come on.

02:37There's not a lot else for them to do, except throw the ball to CD lamb all day.

02:39You still have Jalen Waddle.

02:40You have Devon H and you have a lot of other weapons here, potentially even brought an

02:43Odell Beckham.

02:44Is anything left in that tank?

02:45We don't know.

02:46But Jefferson's that one that kind of stands out to me as a weird positioning for this.

02:52I look at chase Hill lamb being the favorites here with the dark horse candidate being Jamar

02:58chase, which is why he's still a top five overall pick for me, because I think he could

03:02at the end of the day, lead the league and receiving.

03:04So it's an interesting board the way Vegas hasn't lined up.

03:07And for me in terms of investability, it's a lamb at plus seven 50 and it's chased at

03:10plus 1400.
