00:00It's a very wide receiver-heavy draft, so let's get into some of those guys, too.

00:06Ricky Pearsall is the first one you have on your list from Florida.

00:10Last year at Florida, four touchdowns, 965 yards on 65 catches.

00:15So what have you seen with Pearsall that has you excited, and where do you think you might

00:18land where you get the most out of him?

00:22Ricky Pearsall is a player that I wasn't as high on him until I went back to the All-22,

00:27watched all of his film, and really dug my heels in, but he is impressive, and he's getting

00:32a lot of hype.

00:33I think he goes to the top end of the second round.

00:36So I'm staring at you, Carolina Panthers, who need an explosive wide receiver.

00:41If they don't go with another guy that we're going to talk about here that could go in

00:44the similar ilk of the draft capital as Ricky Pearsall, if they don't go that direction,

00:50Ricky Pearsall should be at the top of their board, because he's a guy that can play inside

00:53outside.

00:54He can stretch the field if you want him to.

00:56That's not really his major game.

00:58Where he will help Bryce Young or any other quarterback going in the top part of the second

01:02round is, he's a separator.

01:04He's strong at the catch point.

01:06If you want to just go pull up his highlight reel tape, it is stuff that is literally...

01:10You can put any one of those clips on ESPN and say, hey, guess what?

01:14Here's top 12.

01:15Top 12 every single week on SportsGrid, on ESPN, on all these different platforms, and

01:19he should make the cut.

01:21There is a catch versus Charlotte where you're like, oh, a human body's not supposed to turn

01:27and move like that.

01:29That's not...

01:30That's the vice of laws of physics, right?

01:32That didn't happen.

01:33It is up there with the Odell Beckham catch of yesteryear.

01:38What would be the best landing spot for him?

01:40We always wanted him to be with a good quarterback.

01:42We know a lot of teams are looking for wide receivers.

01:44For Pearsall, is there a spot here on day two where you think maybe he sneaks in there

01:49and could he be...

01:51Looking around the league right now, like I said, there's a lot of teams that are kind

01:54of looking around for wide receivers, and it is a very deep draft.

01:57He's going to go after some of the other names we're talking about next, but where do you

02:01think it would be like if you had to pick one spot for Pearsall, this would be it?

02:06I think if you're seeing, and you're going to love this take, Joey, I'm going to go home

02:12for you.

02:13I'm going to go...

02:14I'm going to pull out the Homer inside of you with this one.

02:17If the New England Patriots take their quarterback at the top of the draft, hell, even if they

02:22decide to trade back and stuff, and they want to address the rest of this roster, and they

02:26don't go wide receiver in round one either, Ricky Pearsall at the top of the second round

02:31at 34th overall would be fantastic.

02:34He would be their rookie quarterback or Jacoby Brissett's best friend starting in week one.

02:40We're talking about a wide receiver that could go in the second round, and by week five of

02:44the NFL season, we're talking about him as moving his way to the top of the depth chart

02:51in very short order.

02:54We are not trading back this year.

02:56I have already signed a petition.

02:58It is not going to happen.

03:00We're going to take a quarterback.

03:01We're going to move the franchise forward.

03:02I'm sorry.

03:03That's called professional gaslighting.

03:04Okay.

03:05Sorry.

03:06Ham Newton stuff.
