Kyler Murray emerges as a top prospect, praised for his dual-threat capabilities both in passing and rushing. The hosts agree on his potential to be a high-impact fantasy quarterback.

Jason Moore [14:26]: "If you take away his running, he is the best pocket quarterback in the draft."

Andy emphasizes Kyler's consistency and readiness to start from day one, making him a valuable pick.

Dwayne Haskins

Dwayne Haskins is met with mixed opinions. While his collegiate performance is lauded, concerns about his real-world NFL readiness and mobility persist.

Andy Holloway [16:13]: "I don't believe, fantasy wise or NFL wise, you're going to see a huge impact in year one from Dwayne Haskins."

Mike highlights the uncertainties surrounding Haskins' transition to the NFL, especially considering his limited starting experience.

Drew Lock

Drew Lock is discussed as a potential second-round quarterback with a promising ceiling, provided he lands in the right system.

Jason Moore [20:38]: "There's a gap between Kyler Murray and him. I'm not super excited about any of the quarterbacks, but if I had to take a second guy, it would be Drew."

Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones is mentioned briefly, with the hosts not delving deeply into his prospects in this episode.

Mike Wright [26:08]: "He's my number one wide receiver for fantasy."

D.K. Metcalf

D.K. Metcalf is characterized as a blend of exceptional speed and size, making him a potential game-changer. However, concerns about his usage in college and injury history are noted.

Jason Moore [29:32]: "If he goes to a good team, he’s a superstar."

A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown is described as a possession receiver with impressive college stats. His adaptability and route-running skills make him a valuable asset.

DJ Moore [29:51]: "He’s a very good wide receiver. I’ve got him as kind of an Anquan Boldin comp."

Kelvin Harmon

Kelvin Harmon is discussed as a competitive receiver with strong ball skills but flagged for his separation and speed limitations.

Jason Moore [34:20]: "I don’t see him as a fantasy superstar."

Hakeem Butler

Hakeem Butler stands out as a physically gifted receiver with a high ceiling. His ability to perform Randy Moss-esque plays makes him a coveted fantasy prospect.

Andy Holloway [35:12]: "I like the fact of him being with a quarterback that can extend the play, take advantage of his size and strength."

Miles Boykin

Miles Boykin is praised for his athleticism and potential, though there's skepticism about how his college performance translates to the NFL.

Mike Wright [38:38]: "He is a true world-class, above DK Metcalf, above these other guys."

Hollywood Brown
