00:00Not Cub, who is it? Amari Cooper is available.

00:02So it's a big drop-off. The next five wideouts are all old dudes who would fit the rich rules of

00:08were really good not too long ago. Amari Cooper, Steph Diggs, DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen,

00:15and Deontay Johnson. Out of those names, out of those five, Diggs might not be ready week one,

00:23Hopkins might be cooked. Who are some of the other ones you said?

00:27Amari Cooper.

00:28Cooper, I still believe in. Keenan Allen, I believe in to a degree.

00:32He could also be Haas of the week.

00:34Keenan Allen, looks like he ate Keenan Allen.

00:36Deontay Johnson?

00:38No, I can't do it. And I like a talent and I like putting up with headaches,

00:42but for this team, no.

00:44Good lord.

00:44Okay.

00:45Deontay Johnson, no.

00:46Number one name on that list, who would you go with?

00:50Probably Diggs.

00:52Even if he's not ready week one?

00:53Yeah.

00:54Okay.

00:54Amari Cooper was ready all last year and he stunk.

00:56I know, but he was really good the year before.

00:58And so he was not great to start in Cleveland.

01:01He was so useless in Buffalo that shakes me to the core.

01:04That scares me less.

01:05What would scare me more is how terrible he was to start in Cleveland.

01:09Like wide receivers switching offenses in the middle of the year.

01:12I'd give him a bit of a free pass on that.

01:14I wouldn't say don't pay any attention to it.

01:15But other than the quarterback, if you suck with Deshaun Watson at this point, I get it.

01:19Who wouldn't?

01:19But then you suck with Josh Allen.

01:21How's that work?

01:21So I'm more alarmed about his slow start, even with the crappy quarterback in Cleveland.

01:25Matt Collins was better than Cooper in Buffalo.

01:28Right.

01:28Matt Collins had a whole offseason to learn the offense and do that.

01:31And so out of those five names, I don't love any of them.

01:36Out of those five, I'm Cooper.

01:38We mentioned yesterday, maybe we're sleeping on Steph Diggs.

01:40I dug in more on that injury.

01:41I don't think he's gonna be ready for the start of the year.

01:42So I think I'm back to out on digs.

01:44What about, and we both didn't love Shyam's latest mock draft.

01:49And he was talking about McMillan and maybe not at four.

01:53He had him trading down.

01:54But based on the way free agency has gone thus far, are you more open to a wide receiver

02:00in the first round?

02:00No.

02:01Well, in the first round, maybe.

02:02Not at four or in the top 10.

02:04No, I don't like McMillan.

02:05No, me neither.

02:06I mean, Travis Hunter, I would say like can play wide out and that's sort of different.

02:09But we've already talked about him as a corner.

02:11Yeah, like straight wide outs.

02:12I still don't want in the first round.

02:14Yeah.

02:14Now, if you're talking about moving up from 38 into the late first round.
