What's More Likely: Raiders, Packers, Masters

What's More Likely covered the Raiders QB competition, extensions for the 2023 draft class quarterbacks, the Jaguars' second-guessing of their Travis Hunter trade-up, and, because it's April, a Masters prediction that Rich got right before Rory's final nine holes even played out.

On the Raiders quarterback question, Christopher tried to pin down whether Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza would be the better quarterback by the end of 2026. Rich pushed back on the framing, neck up is part of the body of work. It would be a stunner if a rookie leapfrogged a 14-year veteran on both physical and mental traits in one season. He gave the Jayden Daniels-over-Marcus Mariota example as the rare exception. Forced into a pick, he went Mendoza to satisfy Christopher's question, while noting either would be an improvement on what the Raiders have gotten at the position since Derek Carr's second-to-last year.

The Bryce Young vs. C.J. Stroud extension race got a quick answer. Rich went Stroud. The Panthers are almost certainly going to let Bryce Young play out year four before making any commitment. Stroud's timing is less predictable, Houston is the more active market.

The Travis Hunter scenario turned into the segment's most honest beat. News dropped that Jacksonville plans to use Hunter as a full-time defensive back, likely tied to his knee situation. Rich used the moment to flip the usual answer on which 2025 trade the team would want back: not Green Bay's Micah Parsons deal, but Jacksonville's trade-up for Hunter. His framing was careful, Hunter is a terrific player and a great kid, the Jaguars are surely happy to have a shutdown corner, and Brian Thomas Jr. stays put for good reason. But if you hand a team a do-over and tell them the unicorn two-way Heisman winner is now a straight corner, Jacksonville doesn't trade up one spot again.

The NBA play-in question got a lower-register answer. Rich took the Hornets over the Warriors as the more dangerous play-in team, flagging that something looks off with Golden State right now. Christopher noted LaMelo Ball's run and that Cam Knipple is currently Rookie of the Year favorite at minus-140, with Cooper Flagg at plus-110. Rich stayed with his gut that Flagg is going to take it.

The Masters call was the one that aged well in real time. Rich went Rory over Scottie Scheffler and the field. He leaned on Fred Couples' line that Rory was walking Augusta with an air that he may never lose again. Scheffler was at two under on the tournament. Rory was teeing off in 28 minutes. Back-to-back Masters would be goat status, a club of four all-time.

The closer was a Draft Day anniversary, Rich's cameo in the film turned 12 that week. He went Vontae Mack over Bo Callahan without flinching. In real life, nobody takes a linebacker first overall. But Bo Callahan was the one with the birthday-party issue. That part still holds up.
