They highlight the running backs and wide receivers who received franchise tags and discuss the implications for fantasy football. They also share their favorite moments from the NFL Combine, including interviews with players like Cody Schrader and Trey Knox. Travis identifies Isaac Guerendo as the biggest riser at the Combine, and they explain the concept of speed score and its significance for evaluating players. Finally, they discuss the threshold for draft upside and the importance of percentile rankings in assessing prospects. The conversation covers the evaluation of speed score and athletic testing, an overview of quarterbacks, evaluation of running backs, evaluation of wide receivers, and specific evaluations of Kedon Slovis, Spencer Rattler, Trey Benson, Braylon Allen, Jalen Wright, Troy Franklin, Johnny Wilson, and Theo Johnson. Takeaways Speed score and athletic testing are important factors in evaluating prospects. The top three quarterbacks are highly regarded, but there may not be four quarterbacks selected in the top nine picks. Trey Benson and Braylon Allen are promising running backs. Troy Franklin's draft stock may have been affected by his speed score. There is depth and talent in the wide receiver class. Johnny Wilson and Theo Johnson are standout tight ends.
