Summary
On this episode of Move the Sticks, Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks tackle some of the hottest pre-draft debates. Outside of Travis Hunter, could we really see just one wide receiver go in the first round? The guys break down both sides of the argument and why the current WR market, where top talent rarely hits free agency, actually makes the case for drafting one early.
They also dive into the ceiling and floor for defensive tackles Walter Nolen and Kenneth Grant, discuss why LSU tight end Mason Taylor would be a great fit for the Eagles, and react to the Patriots trading QB Joe Milton III to the Cowboys, showing how Eliot Wolf is following his father Ron Wolf’s philosophy of drafting and flipping quarterbacks for value.
Then, DJ teases a conversation with a source who believes Jalen Milroe could come off the board much earlier than expected. And to close it out, DJ highlights some of the biggest risers in his latest Top 50 rankings.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Move the Sticks. DJ Buck with you. Buck, what's going on, man. Hey, man, you know what it is. DJ, it's a rat race of the final month leading into the draft. So, you know, everything is kind of crazy and chaotic. Yeah, no doubt. It's a rat race of the final month leading into the draft. |
| 0:21.0 | So, you know, everything is kind of crazy and chaotic. |
| 0:23.3 | Yeah, no doubt. |
| 0:24.1 | It's definitely that time of year where stuff is flying around, which can get you some hot rumors, |
| 0:30.3 | which is a good time to get us to. |
| 0:32.5 | It's time for hot or not brought to you by Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage. |
| 0:36.7 | Let's jump in right out of the gate here, Buck, |
| 0:38.9 | because I'm going to talk to a bunch of people as kind of finishing up, |
| 0:42.7 | doing a lot of non-combine guys, like pop-up guys, pro-day guys that, you know, |
| 0:46.3 | chasing ghosts, as we like to call it during this time. |
| 0:48.3 | Yes. |
| 0:49.1 | But mix in a lot of conversations. |
| 0:50.9 | And some of the things you hear in those conversations kind of perk you perk you up a little bit. |
| 0:55.5 | And so this is one thing I want to get your take on. |
| 0:58.8 | If we take Travis Hunter and put him to the side, this was the, I heard this from one guy and I brought it up with a couple other people and they did not poo poo it. |
| 1:09.9 | He said, if we say Travis Hunter's out of the way, they're only going to be one wide receiver go in the first round. I can believe that. I mean, Buck, like this is, we talked about this on episodes ago, on average, 5.6.1. Like, I guess if we, you know, Travis would make it two technically, I guess, if he's, you know, going to be majoring on that side of the ball. But I mean, I, and I, I don't disagree with it. I said, I think that's possible. I don't think that will happen. I think we will get, you know, I think a Buka, golden, you know, McMillan. I think that between those three guys, I think we see two of them |
| 1:45.4 | go at least, if not three, but there's a chance that everybody sits it out. |
| 1:51.5 | DJ, I believe it. |
| 1:52.6 | So who is the Y receiver that you look at that has the wow factor that you're like, I got to |
| 1:59.8 | have them. |
| 2:03.8 | And in this class, we're lacking that. |
| 2:09.3 | Previous years, when we talked about the first round guys, there was a wow, a sizzle factor that you were like, okay, like I dig it. Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, even Devante Smith was coming |
