00:00All right, so it does appear, at least according to the sportsbooks,
00:03that Ashton Gentry is going to be the first running back off the board.
00:06I mean, he's a significant favorite for that,
00:08and it does appear, according to the latest odds over on FanDuel,
00:12that Omari and Hampton from North Carolina
00:14is going to be the first running back selected that is not Ashton Gentry.
00:18In fact, you can bet that, but why would you?
00:20It's minus 400 over on the FanDuel sportsbook.
00:24So it does appear that those are the lock first-round pick running backs.
00:28Do you see any value in selecting any of these other running backs
00:32ahead of Hampton at this point?
00:36I mean, we did see Detroit make that running back draft move a few years ago,
00:41which shocked a lot of people.
00:42It ended up working out very clearly.
00:44Is there another one, you think, in the works here?
00:47You know, I don't.
00:48I think those are definitely the top two guys.
00:50I wish I had a more fun or more interesting answer for people
00:54to make some money on a long shot,
00:56but I definitely think that we're going to see Gentry go first
00:59and Hampton go second.
01:00But look, the thing with running backs,
01:02people have to remember with the draft,
01:04and this is true a little bit of other positions as well,
01:07especially wide receiver, but a lot of it's about system.
01:10So if a team likes a guy because their system, you know,
01:14wants a more versatile guy or another team wants a running back
01:17who's a little bit more of a bruiser,
01:19you can see some fluctuation.
01:21You know, you can look at a big board of running backs,
01:23and when you get into that second, third-round range,
01:26it can really be varied who goes where
01:28because it's just all about what a team's looking for.
01:31But, yeah, I think those are the top two backs.
01:34I think they're pretty complete backs,
01:36so therefore they're going to be the top two no matter what.
01:39But I think once you get past them, you know,
01:42a Henderson or a Jenkins is a great example,
01:44two guys who were teammates last year
01:45who kind of have different styles, fill different roles.
01:48They could easily be flip-flopped.
01:50Which one goes three, which one goes four,
01:52or just which one goes first, I should say, out of the two
01:55because of what a team's looking for.
01:57Do you want a little quicker guy who's a better receiver?
01:59Okay.
01:59Do you want, like I said, more of a power guy?
02:01But I'd be very surprised if Hampton isn't the second running back
02:05off the board after Ash and Gentry.
