00:00I want to talk about the top 10, right?

00:02The top 10 is starting to come into focus.

00:04It's really interesting.

00:05If you got the odds on Monday,

00:08Shredor Sanders was clearly the odds on favor

00:10to go three to the Giants.

00:12That has changed.

00:13We're going to get into that.

00:14We'll get into the Titans today

00:16and the Browns in the first segment.

00:18But things have changed.

00:19And what happens is information comes out.

00:22Travis Hunter, Scott, this is what's really happening.

00:25Because I know a lot of people are confused.

00:26Why was everyone on Shredor Sanders

00:28for three months to go to the Giants?

00:30If you talk to NFL people, they'll tell you.

00:33If you just look at the players individually,

00:35Travis Hunter is a much better football player

00:37than Shredor Sanders.

00:39It's not that Shredor Sanders is not a good quarterback.

00:41He is a good quarterback.

00:42But if you just looked at the performance of both players,

00:46Travis Hunter is a better football player.

00:49And by the way, he can play two positions.

00:51That's fascinating.

00:52And I cannot wait, by the way,

00:53after he gets drafted in the top three,

00:55what the projection numbers will be by odds.

01:00And is he going to catch 30 passes, 40, 50, and so forth.

01:04But most likely, he's going to be a corner

01:06depending who drafts him.

01:08But what I find fascinating is, I was there.

01:10Andrew Barry, the general manager of the Browns,

01:13went on record when he was asked at the Combine.

01:16He's usually tight-lipped, but he said it.

01:18We see him more as a receiver than a cornerback.

01:22And what's fascinating is, Scott, if you look at the odds right now,

01:26the odds on favorite, it's completely changed.

01:29The week ago, you could have got Travis Hunter plus money.

01:32Not anymore, Scott.

01:33Travis Hunter is now minus 325 to go to the Browns at number two.

01:37Wow, that's crazy.

01:41It's helping to change.

01:43Listen, so I have to ask you then,

01:47then that means that the Giants are obviously not going to pick him,

01:54and they're going to pick this guy, Carter.

01:57Is that right?

01:58So the odds now, speaking of that, let's go to those Giants.

02:02It's a huge draft for them.

02:03Yes, they need a quarterback.

02:04But the value is not there.

02:08Shadur Sanders will go in the first round.

02:09That's not the question.

02:10The question is how far will he fall?

02:12We'll talk about that later in today's segments.

02:14But Shadur Sanders now is plus 650 to go to the Giants.

02:19On Monday, Scott, he was plus 105.

02:23That's how things have changed within four days.

02:26Travis Hunter is plus 240 now because, again,

02:29we're expecting to go to number two.

02:30But Abdul Carter is now minus.

02:33You could have gotten plus on money.

02:35He's now minus 220 to go to the Giants.

02:37Now, I know Giants fans are, wait a minute.

02:39We've got Thibodeau.

02:40We've got Burns.

02:41You can never have enough pass rushers.

02:43And by the way, they've not signed Kevon Thibodeau to an extension, okay?

02:48It's about the future.

02:50That's what the draft is about.

02:51You take the best player available at a position of future need,

02:54and you don't worry about what the fans or the media thinks.

02:57Abdul Carter is the best player there.

02:58Now, you and I have talked about this Abdul Carter situation.

03:01He had the stress reaction.

03:03He had the shoulder issue.

03:05The stress reaction, the thing is you have to feel totally comfortable

03:09that this would not be a long-term problem.

03:11Short-term, you can live with it.

03:12If it's a long-term problem, that changes it.

03:15Right now, the thought around the league is this is a short-term issue.

03:18It should not affect him.

03:19He should not get past the Giants at number three.

03:22But the bottom line is with Shredor Sanders.

03:24When you talk about a player dropping, the reality is when you talk to NFL people,

03:29it wasn't really that he was dropping, the reality is that it's a one-quarterback draft.

03:33It's Cam Ward than everybody else.
