Dave Richard expects Tetairoa "Tet" McMillan to be the first wide receiver drafted, but he refuses to lay the –175 juice on that prop. Richard noted that while Emeka Egbuka’s floor and Matthew Golden’s speed are enticing, both remain "emerging" talents compared with McMillan’s full package of size, body control, and late‑career production. He advised bettors to wait for the price to dip toward –130 before firing or to attack related markets—such as McMillan going inside the top 10—where the payout is more palatable.

Dave Richard prefers the over 10.5 on Tyler Warren at +130, pointing out that Colston Loveland might leapfrog Warren on several boards. Richard said clubs that want a pass‑heavy tight end could grade Loveland higher, making Warren less than a consensus TE1. Because roster fits and scheme preference will drive the pick, Richard sees a credible path for Warren to slide into the teens, offering sneaky value on the plus‑money over even though he believes Warren ultimately lands no later than the mid‑first.

Dave Richard said he is betting the over 28.5 draft‑position prop on Emeka Egbuka at +130. Richard believes Egbuka is the safest receiver in the class but not a "sexy" prospect and therefore less of a priority for front offices that are scrambling for offensive‑line help and premium pass‑rushers. Richard envisions Egbuka as a long‑term slot who adapts quickly but offers limited explosive upside, which could push him into the late first or even the early‑second round. He pegged the mid‑30s as a realistic landing range and called the plus money an attractive way to fade a Round‑1 guarantee.

Dave Richard likes the Browns at +360 to land Shedeur Sanders, outlining a scenario where Cleveland uses its early Round‑2 pick plus extra capital to jump back into Round 1. He argued the Browns could draft Travis Hunter at No. 2, then reunite him with his college quarterback by trading with an NFC South team looking to accumulate picks. The five‑year rookie contract control that comes with a first‑rounder and the Hunter‑Sanders marketing appeal are additional incentives for Cleveland to make the move.

Richard declared Travis Hunter a virtual certainty to go inside the first three picks. He stressed that Cleveland would use him as an immediate WR1 while the Giants could deploy him primarily at corner, underscoring Hunter’s unprecedented two‑way value. Richard doubts any franchise will pass on that kind of impact talent for a lower‑ceiling quarterback. He conceded Hunter won’t play 60 snaps both ways every Sunday, but even moonlighting on the opposite side of the ball multiplies schematic flexibility. Bottom line: Hunter’s athletic profile and versatility make him too valuable to slide past the Browns and Giants.

Dave Richard told listeners to stay away from the +250 to +325 price on Shedeur Sanders going inside the top five. Richard ran through the current draft order and noted that two of the first five teams are already set at quarterback, while another has Cam Ward graded higher. That leaves, at most, two realistic landing spots and he doubts either franchise has Sanders ranked ahead of blue‑chip defenders like Abdul Carter. Richard added that this class is deeper at premium non‑QB positions, giving general managers plenty of alternatives. In his view, Sanders’ brand power is inflating the market and the true probability of a top‑five outcome is well south of 20 percent.

Dave Richard called Ashton Jeanty one of the three best overall talents in the 2025 class and predicted he will be selected inside the top‑5 picks. Richard highlighted Jeanty’s historic college production—he nearly eclipsed Barry Sanders’ single‑season rushing record and finished 2024 with more yards after contact than most FBS backs recorded in total rushing yards. Richard compared Jeanty’s potential NFL impact to Saquon Barkley’s role in Philadelphia’s recent title run, arguing that teams are pivoting toward elite backs to punish two‑high defensive looks. Because the league is light on blue‑chip quarterbacks this year, Richard expects franchises to “load up” on the deep running‑back pool, with Jeanty the crown jewel. Bettors looking at draft‑position props or dynasty players searching for the next workhorse should treat Jeanty as a slam‑dunk top‑5 selection.
