A.J. Brown to finish top 5 at his position, by receiving yards
“Will AJ Brown be top five in the NFL in receiving yards this year? He expects to be and the patriots expect him to be if he's there. Top five. I think that is true.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

“Francis Maui Noah is the best offensive lineman in this draft. Three is probably a little rich for him to go, but I think the cardinals are going to want to go offense.”
