Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show, aka the Ringer NFL Draft Show. My name is Danny Hyphen, today. I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlebeck, and we are going over the best receivers in the 2026 NFL draft. D.K., people have said maybe this is a bad draft. The more I look at it, I think it's kind of good. But the receiver position is maybe the best or maybe the deepest position in the entire draft this year. I'd say off the top of my head, corners and receivers. There's a lot of very good players at those two positions. And there's a lot of different types of receivers. Pick your flavor. There's anything that you want. Any flavor. Any flavor you want, Craig? That'd be cool. You could do like a sampler, just like a, what of the whiskey samplers? Yeah, or ice cream is where my head was going. Yeah, me too. It's kind of like the combine really is kind of like a sampler. Yeah, I'm a child, so I was thinking of ice cream, DK's a man. Do you guys like debris in your ice cream? Craig, you don't. No, I don't really like toppings on my ice cream. I like it.

1:14.5

I like debris in your ice cream? You know, Craig, you don't.

1:13.3

No, I don't really like toppings on my ice cream. I like it. I like it. I don't know. I don't really like that you said debris, but yes, I like it. I feel like you saying debris led me to believe that you didn't like toppings, but I think you do. I don't know. My brother started saying it. Do you like contaminants to your ice cream or leading the witness, Your Honor?

1:30.0

Give me more of that.

1:31.0

Disgusting contaminants. All right. Let's get into some news before we get in all these receivers. I want to start. So the Raiders start, Kirk Cousins. And I actually, we have not talked about this or communicated this at all. But I did on Instagram, you little Instagram start now.

1:45.3

I saw that video.

1:45.9

There you go.

1:46.7

You saying Instagram Star makes it just taking to Instagram.

1:49.0

Yeah.

1:49.4

Are you going to start the only fans next?

1:50.6

I would love that.

1:51.6

You said it like it was an only fan.

1:54.3

So I read as Adam Schaefter's tweet, he posted this.

1:58.4

And I read this.

1:59.4

And I actually thought it was still April Fool's Day

2:01.6

with all the dumb April Fool's jokes he made because everyone makes because he's I just saw

2:05.7

Schaefter says Kirk Cousin signing five year 172 million dollar deal with the Raiders and I was

2:10.1

like is it is this a joke and then I realized that kind of it's a one year deal for 20 million

2:17.1

with the Raiders that blah blah blah could be, could be three for $100. But he's signing a one year deal with $20 million. I actually think this is pretty significant. DK, what was your first reaction to this? That we're not going to see Fernando Mendoza for a little bit here, which is probably good for him, good for the organization. It's going to be hard once their season starts to not get like everyone's going to want to see him play, I bet. Um, but this is going to be good for him in the long, in the long run, basically get to learn behind a veteran and Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins has played in a lot of places and a lot of different offenses. Um, and it's got to be exciting for the Raiders too, I think a little bit because Cousins, at least theoretically, is going to make the offense competitive.

2:55.9

So, I don't know.

2:56.7

I think this is good for everybody, even though it's going to kind of be disappointing for Mendoza stands and everybody kind of looking forward to watching him.

3:04.4

Craig, the jokes kind of right themselves here, right?
