00:00I'm thinking about tonight's draft.

00:01I'm super excited.

00:03It's like Christmas for me.

00:04Everybody knows this, how much I love this.

00:05I know it's not a popular take right now,

00:10but I believe Tett McMillan's going to be the best receiver in the draft.

00:14I think he's the best offensive weapon outside of Ashton Jenty in the draft,

00:18and I'm going to be really disappointed when he falls past the Patriots at 4

00:23and probably falls all the way to 8, 9, 12, somewhere in that range,

00:27and the team takes him because I think he's going to be really, really good.

00:32I'm convinced about it.

00:34It's one of the guys I'm planting my flag on.

00:36I believe in him very much so,

00:38and to me it's going to be really disappointing to watch the Patriots

00:42take a guy at left tackle that may or may not be good.

00:45I don't really know.

00:46His tape's good, but his arm length stinks.

00:48I don't know.

00:49I think it's a waste at number 4,

00:51and I would rather take a shot on a guy who's really talented

00:54that plays a position that's going to help his quarterback even more.

00:57I feel that way about Ashton Jenty.

00:59I think you're missing an opportunity.

01:02Wiggy talks about it all the time with Saquon Barkley.

01:05You're missing an opportunity at number 4

01:08to get a guy who could be a really, really, really good player.

01:14Right, and Saquon Barkley was on a team as talented or more talented

01:17than the Patriots and did nothing to help the Giants.

01:19He was great when he was on a super team with the Eagles.

01:22He is the definition of a luxury item.

01:24He was good on the Giants, though.

01:25They just didn't add people.

01:27They just didn't change their outcomes because the team wasn't good.

01:29They also didn't have a quarterback.

01:30Right.

01:30That's the difference.

01:31They didn't have a quarterback, and I think that—

01:33They won a playoff game.

01:34I think if you look at the Patriots with Drake May,

01:38I think a lot of people think that,

01:40oh, they have a quarterback.

01:41So if you add a running back of his caliber to that type of team

01:48that already has a quarterback, and then it makes the receiver's job much easier.

01:54It also makes, for one more season, makes Drake May's job a little bit easier.

01:58Yeah, and then you can add—

02:00And I always add the element of being able to sprinkle Drake May's legs in there

02:05with Gentry.

02:06Curtis, what's the matter?

02:07I just don't think that Gentry is going to be a game-changing performer with the Patriots.

02:12I think that he would be a nice thing to have.

02:14Maybe in a couple years, you get a running back, but—
