A quick look at the news and notes (12:30) and then it's back to the rankings beginning with a Josh Jacobs vs. Tony Pollard debate (17:15). The touches should definitely favor Jacobs, so why are people higher on Pollard? Then we look at three WRs being drafted right after those RBs (25:30): Davante Adams, Amon-Ra St. Brown and A.J. Brown ... How high should Nick Chubb go in drafts (30:30)? Could he have his best season yet? After Chubb, it's (37:05) Garrett Wilson, Derrick Henry and Jaylen Waddle followed by the QBs (44:00).
