Emory Hunt doubled down on the Colorado connection, declaring "Shedeur Sanders will be a Cleveland Brown by the end of Thursday night" regardless of whether the Browns move up from Round 2 or trade future assets to sneak into Round 1. Hunt said Cleveland’s front office is infatuated with pairing Sanders and Travis Hunter, believing the star quarterback’s timing‑based game perfectly fits Kevin Stefanski’s offense while simultaneously supercharging the franchise’s national profile. He urged bettors to grab any Browns‑to‑draft‑Sanders market available, emphasizing that price and draft slot are secondary because "it doesn’t matter—Shedeur ends up in orange and brown."

Emory Hunt projected the Eagles to draft an offensive tackle at pick 32 despite market expectations leaning defense. Hunt praised Philadelphia’s forward‑thinking roster strategy and pointed out that 34‑year‑old Lane Johnson is nearing the end of his elite run. He floated Ohio State’s Josh Simmons as the quintessential Roseman selection—an athletic left tackle prospect the team could essentially red‑shirt for a season before inserting him opposite Jordan Mailata. Hunt said that if Simmons or a similarly toolsy tackle is still on the board, "everyone will be asking how he lasted to 32," and bettors taking OT at +375 will look sharp.

Emory Hunt compared Missouri quarterback Brady Cook to early‑career Andy Dalton and slotted him as his No. 4 QB in the entire class despite a projected fourth‑round draft slot. Hunt stacked their college profiles side‑by‑side: both are roughly 6‑2/207, both top‑tier athletes, and Cook already owns 1,200+ rushing yards and 20 rushing TDs while averaging 8.5 yards per attempt through the air. Hunt praised Cook’s moxie—citing the Auburn game where he returned from a cart ride to engineer the winning drive—and pointed to clutch throws against South Carolina that were spoiled only by defensive lapses. Cook reportedly had the best throwing session at the combine and tested well athletically. Hunt’s takeaway: in superflex dynasty leagues, a cheap Day‑2/Day‑3 rookie pick on Cook could turn into a decade‑long starter once he lands in a favorable situation.

Emory Hunt declared that Shedeur Sanders will go exactly third overall, most likely to the New York Giants, and called it his single best early draft bet. Hunt argued that Sanders owns the highest floor of any quarterback in the class and would allow the Giants to win now while grooming their future franchise passer. He quipped that if Jackson Dart possessed Sanders’ tape, pundits would be saying "the draft starts at pick two." Hunt is unconcerned about ceiling talk—he believes immediate accuracy and pocket command translate quicker for rookie success. With New York already equipped to compete and unwilling to force a defensive selection, Hunt views any plus‑money top‑3 or exact‑pick market on Sanders as a "layup."
