The Cover 3 crew talks NFL Draft, College Football Playoff expansion and the best WRs for 2024. First, whether the Big Ten and SEC have a case for automatic byes for their conference champions in the proposed 14-team College Football Playoff model (2:30) and how the ACC's uncertain future plays a role in their negotiations regarding the playoff for 2026 and beyond. Then, the NFL Draft Combine takeaways start with highlighting the strength of the offensive linemen at the top of the 2024 class (19:18) along with wide receivers who flashed, players who fell short of expectations and how testing numbers did or did not match production in college.
