There are the top eight from Chris's mock draft.
We talked earlier about the number two pick.
He has the Jets taking Arval Reese, and you mentioned Jeremiah Love possibly going to the Cardinals.
The biggest surprise for me is Carnell Tate all the way up at number five.
Yeah.
Well, I, I think there's a sense that he's going somewhere there in the top 10.
A little bit about the conversation we just had.
So my logic here a little bit was Washington at seven is going to be worried that the Cleveland Browns, who also need a receiver and an in-state talent like Carnell Tate, to where they're gonna be worried about that and they're gonna move up.
I mean, Carnell Tate, again, really good player.
I do not think he's worth the number 10 pick in the draft.
I think there's a ton of people in football that don't think he's worth that.
But still, size, good route runner, high floor, right?
Pro ready, he can help us right now, instead of maybe a Jordan Tyson, where I think most of the league thinks he's more talented and they like him more, but there's a little concern with injury history and stuff like that.
So yeah, that's why I went Carnell Tate there, Mike.
I keep hearing Jordan Tyson to the Saints, and I hear it so much that I think it can't be true.
Because why am I hearing it this much?
Yeah, yeah.
I, I- If it's actually true it'd be interest- I certainly could see them.
That's He's gonna be one of the lightning rod players here in the top 10 or 12.
He's phenomenal, and I think if everything checked out, yeah, he would no question be a top 10, top six or seven pick in the draft here.
But yeah, what do the Saints do at eight?
If he's there, they could take him, or they might Maybe they ju- maybe they take Ruben Bain instead of the Chiefs.
They certainly could do that.
I had them taking Caleb Downs.
You could see I got Ruben Bain Jr. there at nine going to the Chiefs.
But I wouldn't be surprised, as we talked about earlier too, maybe the Chiefs wanna get up to number three and get David Bailey or Arval Reese, whoever the Jets don't take.
So there's some, certainly some things to get the popcorn ready when it comes to the Thursday night.
I want all these guys to be as good as they can be, but I want Jordan Tyson to become a star because he's got a hell of a person.
