00:00No movement, DRS, in terms of the draft order.

00:03How about the draft odds?

00:04The only movement we have really seen, a couple of prospects have moved.

00:08Travis Hunter, now the minus money favorite to go second.

00:12It was Abdul Carter early on in this process, so they have flip-flopped.

00:16The main movement has been the solidifying of these hefty, hefty minus money favorites.

00:21Cam Ward, minus 20,000 to go first overall.

00:25Travis Hunter, now a minus 900 favorite to go second overall.

00:30Abdul Carter, minus 480 at third.

00:33Will Campbell, minus 470 at fourth.

00:35And even that fifth spot where Jacksonville selects, Mason Graham is a minus 160 favorite.

00:41DRS, you look at the top five, everybody in a minus money price.

00:46In four of the top five, a $4 favorite or greater.

00:50Have we figured out exactly what the top five is going to look like

00:53by the time we get to Thursday evening?

00:56It looks like it does make some sense.

00:58Now, again, it only takes one team that likes another team from a draft board

01:01that many teams don't have to sort of shake things up.

01:03But sometimes, you know, there's the early online movements that we talk about.

01:07Like, okay, it moved a dollar or two this week, but we still have three weeks to go.

01:11You're in the final week, which means leaks are coming out.

01:14And these organizations have had months and months and months to get ready for these picks coming up,

01:20which means that they're probably not changing all that much over the final four or five days.

01:24Like, if you're not sold on Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter going to Cleveland,

01:28what type of organization do you have and what type of power struggle are you actually going to?

01:31So there's no surprise that Travis Hunter is minus 900 because probably the vibes out of Cleveland are like,

01:36yeah, we just signed Miles Garrett back.

01:38We have our defensive end.

01:39Abdul Carter is fantastic.

01:40But boy, if we can get a Swiss Army knife as good as Travis Hunter, who could be a generational player,

01:44we can't pass that up.

01:46So that's why he goes from the minus 200 to the minus 400.

01:48Now the minus 900, just a few days left before the draft.

01:51Even though I still think Abdul Carter is the best overall player in the draft,

01:55it's just a matter of how that certain organization perceives them.

01:58And make no mistake about it.

01:59They're putting out feelers that Travis Hunter is going to be that number two pick.

02:02And also, the interesting part would be is if Cleveland does trade out,

02:06what do they do and who would come up?

02:07Would they take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter?

02:09I'm still holding out hope that there's a chance it's Abdul Carter now a five to one price

02:13to be number two overall.

02:15But you can't doubt the odds sometimes.

02:17We do see upsets.

02:18Yeah.

02:18But the fact that this is moving so significantly in the mention of Travis Hunter,

02:22that gives me a pause thinking that, you know what?

02:24He probably is going to be the number two overall pick.
