Summary
The NFL Draft is a day away. In order to prepare, Andy and Bruce Feldman analyze coaches and scouts' opinions about some of the biggest names in this year's draft, including Ickey Ekwonu, Travon Walker, and more. Is the Kenny Pickett hand-size dilemma a real thing, and which under-the-radar QB has the best chance to explode onto the scene? The guys also dig into the deep WR class and talk about their favorite prospects to watch.
