LIZ LOZA: We know very much what this player is, and his ceiling is, so go ahead and you say it for us.

ERIC EDHOLM: Tyreek Hill, right? That's our guy. Yeah. And, you know, I don't think he's thick, but it's just the ability to make people look ridiculous trying to chase him around. You know, it's like swatting a fly, you can't do it, right?

So I'm glad you picked him because I couldn't really think of anybody else. I wanted to be cute and clever but I couldn't.

LIZ LOZA: I'm with you. I mean, we came up with the same comp and our landing spots are a little bit different. I want to say, the Chargers. And the reason being, if you are comping him to Tyreek Hill-- and I've seen Henry Ruggs' comps because coming out last year, Henry Ruggs was comped to Tyreek Hill. And you look at the AFC West, you think that maybe the Chargers are going to have to keep up.

ERIC EDHOLM: That's a great spot. You think about, obviously, they need offensive line. They want to protect Herbert. But what else can help them out is yards after the catch guy. Mike Williams' injury history, got to be concerned about his future. We don't really know what Jalen Guyton is yet.

Keenan Allen's the man. He does his thing, but Keenan Allen is still a great possession receiver. They need that big play threat. That's exactly, I think, what-- I mean, there's two different types of receivers I can see them going after. But, no doubt, he's got to be high on their list.

LIZ LOZA: Who else did you have then?

ERIC EDHOLM: I had Arizona. So I technically had them take an offensive-- again, this is based on my recent mock. So I really feel like Kliff Kingsbury wants to have just as many versatile, dangerous weapons as possible. They drafted Andy Isabella at number 62 overall. He hasn't done it yet. He's had little flashes here and there.

Christian Kirk is a hot and cold player who's good to start the year. Got off track a little, I thought. You know, he's missed multiple games every single year, it feels like. So I don't really know if that pairing is going to end up that way, but I would love to see it.

And I would love to see Kyler and Jaylen Waddle on the same field. Two Mighty Mites who can rip off a huge play at any moment.
