SCOTT PIANOWSKI: In this truncated training camp, we just saw a great rookie receiver class, one on the field in 2019 and one drafted in 2020. But we don't know what training camp's going to look like. Are we less likely to want to draft rookie receivers right now?
ANDY BEHRENS: I am. Sure. Yeah. There's a couple that I think step into meaningful roles right away. But as we said earlier, with potentially-- best case scenario, we're going to have a super limited off-season. Worst-case scenario, there's barely any. They shake hands with their quarterback, and they're playing games a week later. Sure Yeah, I'm going to be a lot more reluctant.
DALTON DEL DON: Yeah, I agree. I love CeeDee Lamb, even as a number 3. He's so good, and they're so efficient in Dallas. But I don't like where Jeudy landed, and the truncated work is definitely something-- I agree. I'm more reluctant to draft. Especially coming up last year, we had what, five or six potential looking Hall of Famers who were sophomores right now? Don't expect a repeat of that.
