In Episode 5 of the With The First Pick Podcast, we discuss the latest rumors around the 2019 NFL draft, including Daniel Jones’ rise up the board and the waning confidence in Kyler Murray as the No. 1 overall pick.

The 2019 NFL draft is less than 10 days away, and the narrative around this year’s class of prospects continues to shift by the hour.

In the latest episode of the With The First Pick Podcast, we discuss long-time NFL talent evaluator Gil Brandt’s top 150 list and whether his assessment of Duke QB Daniel Jones as the second-best quarterback in the draft is fair. We also dive into Ohio State WR Parris Campbell’s standing as his second-best wide receiver in the class.

Then there’s the whole Kyler Murray saga and the apparent waning confidence that he’ll end up the first overall pick to the Arizona Cardinals. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah tweeted Monday that his confidence has dropped in Murray going No. 1; we dig into whether he’s hedging his bet or if there’s a legitimate reason to think Murray could slip from the top spot.

Finally, we talk about whether draft fans should buy into any anonymous source information this time of year, or any time of year, for that matter.

The Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling came along for the ride and offered his insight on all these topics and more.
