Sheil, Steven, and Diante are back to answer five of Sheil’s first-round draft questions. They start by discussing how confident they are that Cam Ward will go first in the draft and whether the Titans will be the team to take him (03:17). Next, they break down the options for Shedeur Sanders (16:33) and Travis Hunter (40:34) and where they might go in the first round. After, they each choose the player whom teams are overthinking the most (51:23), and finally, they share their picks for which teams could blow up the draft with a trade (66:25).
