Summary
It’s a draft show, but before Conor and Gary get to the prospects themselves, a draft-adjacent discussion surrounding the very strange wide receiver market.
It was setting up to be another down market for wideouts, even after the Christian Kirk deal happened. But then, Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill brought it not only big-money deals but were acquired for significant draft capital. Will that trend hold up going forward?
Then, a discussion of the five first-round candidates in this class of wideouts, and Gary makes an outrageous Cooper Kupp comp for a Day 2 prospect.
Among the running backs, the trio who could break into the first round, and the two “Conor-style” Day 2 backs who could thrive thanks to a trend coming in 2022.
Plus, what teams looking for tight ends in this draft might find, and Conor and Gary mock their elders when it comes to QVC, but it turns out they are the ones who deserve to be mocked.
