In the draft next year, where you've got quarterbacks galore, that's all I've been hearing from folks like Daniel Jeremiah, who was on Friday's show, Todd McShay from The Ringer when he comes on this show, Mel Kiper Jr. when he comes on this show, Anybody whose job is to evaluate who's coming from college to the pros.

That if these five teams are the ones that show up top five in the draft on the clock, Tennessee's got Cam Ward, the Chargers have Justin Herbert, the Texans have C.J. Stroud, the Bucs just signed Baker to a big deal.

Mel, injuries across the NFL.
9 MINS LATER
Mel Kiper Jr.GUEST
So when you have that incredible amount of injuries around the quarterback, How in the world are we even talking negatively about Jalen Hurts? Why would you even go there? I would say when a college quarterback has the pieces around him, then you can evaluate him.
Mel Kiper Jr.GUEST
You take all those pieces away and we're going to critique the quarterback? Give me a break.
Evan CohenHOST
We're talking with Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN draft analyst, of course, co-host of the First Draft podcast here on ESPN Radio, on Unsportsmanlike.
