Emory Hunt floated running back RJ Harvey at 20-to-1 as a sneaky OROY play. Hunt expects Harvey to win the starting job and believes the only hurdle is staying healthy over a full season. If quarterbacks underwhelm, Harvey’s all-purpose production could allow him to sneak past the favorites at a juicy price.

Emory Hunt likes Cam Ward at +380 to capture Offensive Rookie of the Year, noting that Ward’s highlight-reel style, leadership presence, and surrounding pass-catching talent will rack up the "style points" voters love. Hunt expects the number to swing to heavy minus money by Week 5 once Ward’s playmaking shows up on Sundays, so he urges bettors to strike while the market is still plus money.

Emory Hunt endorsed Joe Burrow at +600 for MVP, calling 2024 the "it’s his turn" season. He expects the rebuilt offensive line to hold up, a healthier Burrow to start all 17 games, and the staff to lean on Chase Brown’s emerging run game to keep defenses honest. With elite perimeter weapons and an offense that rediscovered balance late last year, Hunt believes voters will reward Burrow’s gaudy passing totals and team success despite the short number.

Emory Hunt recommended taking a small, early-May flyer on Shedeur Sanders at +2500 to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Hunt argued Sanders is the most talented passer in Cleveland’s room and, if the competition is truly merit-based, he should win the starting job "going away." He pointed to Sanders’ prolific production at Jackson State and Colorado as proof he can immediately elevate an NFL offense. A starting Sanders would likely translate into Browns victories, which voters reward. Because the market price will evaporate once a depth-chart shake-out is confirmed, Hunt likes locking in the long odds now and effectively parlaying them with the "wins the starting job" angle.

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."
