00:00We're going to jump right into it here. We'll start with some wide receivers. Wide receiver 30

00:03versus wide receiver 31 at an ADP of 70 and 72 respectively. One is Calvin Ridley of whom we

00:11spoke in a prior segment. You mentioned how most people don't realize that he was a thousand yard

00:15receiver last year. So Calvin Ridley or Travis Hunter. Now I think that the two-way play potential

00:22for Hunter damages him, right? If I'm underwriting him and I'm an insurance agent, he's a 2x risk

00:28against everyone else. I'm off Hunter. I would choose Ridley, but what says you?

00:33Well, I says this is not close for me. And yet ADP says it's very close. And I vehemently disagree

00:41with this. I'm where you are. The two-way player thing is difficult, but also let's not forget in

00:46college, right? I mean, there were packages where he was in on offense, but corner was really his

00:50true position. So he's not nearly as polished as a wide receiver as a lot of people want to make him

00:55out to me. He is not Ted Rowe McMillan, folks. And I would take Ted Rowe McMillan over both of these

00:59guys, just to be clear, who's going in the similar range. He's been shooting up the ADP ranks as I've

01:04been running my mouth the last couple of weeks here on the show. But Calvin Ridley, we just talked

01:08about Calvin Ridley, back-to-back thousand-yard receiving seasons, some terrible quarterback play

01:12last year, still went over that mark. This year is playing with Cam Ward. Again, a very serious young

01:17man who has had a pretty good preseason, is showing you he can make all the throws. He gets rid of the

01:21football quickly. There's a lot to like with Cam Ward. I think Cam Ward has taken a lot of slings

01:26and arrows. And a lot of us are going to look up here in like week 10 and go, man, yeah, Cam Ward's

01:30pretty good at football. And I think there will be some struggles like every other rookie has.

01:34But overall, I think it's going to be a huge upgrade for him. And considering these guys are

01:38going back-to-back 70 and 72 overall, I'm looking for a wide receiver. I'm taking Calvin Ridley, and it's

01:43not close to me. And I think some of the hype post-draft of Travis Hunter is starting to fade a little bit.

01:48Brian Thomas Jr. should not be hurt either by his arrival. I've seen some people trying to make that

01:54case. Like, oh, BTJ is not a first-round pick. Okay, that's fine. Let me take him in the first

01:59round for you. And you can take Travis Hunter later, and we'll see who the alpha dog is in that offense.
