Let's talk more NFL draft and get Emery Hunt's thoughts on a recent CBSports.com mock draft.

0:10.1

All right, here we go. We're reporting this on Monday afternoon.

0:13.3

You're listening later on in the week. So we're going to look at a Monday mock draft

0:17.5

from Ryan Wilson, and we're going to get some thoughts on the skill position players and where they end up. All right, first thing, at eighth overall and we're going to get some thoughts on the skill position players

0:21.5

and where they end up. All right, first thing, at eighth overall, we got Garrett Wilson going to

the Falcons. Emery, what do you think? They do need help at wire receiver and you wonder how it

George Pickens gives them another bona fide stud outside that's different than what they have already on the roster. You know, you look at it, James and Williams. He's just like Devonti as far as like these slim-built fast guys. It's nothing wrong with having fast guys. So the oilers do that
