Is CeeDee Lamb's holdout a huge cause for concern? Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson break down the latest news there and share their opinions on whether they'd pass on him if he fell outside the top 10 picks. Plus, if you draft a running back in Round 1 should you get another one in Round 2 or snag a high-end wide receiver? What do we think about Jahan Dotson's trade to the Eagles?
