Jon Gruden: Lemme tell you “Jaws,” I really like this kid. Good pedigree. Helicopter pilot. Kinda going bald, which shows me a thing or two about his maturity. I really think the Middleton family has a winner with William.
Ron Jaworski: I can’t agree more. For me, it’s the teeth. Big, giant, straight teeth. You see that kid crack a smile? Teeth and the Chucky seal of approval. I’m sold.
Mel Kiper: Listen. I’m with you two. I know I said the same things about the last two first-rounders, Charles and Andrew — both huge disappointments — but this guy William, well, he’s different. It’s the intangibles that make him a future king.
Chris Berman: Consensus then? Prince William, greatest first-round pick ever?
Panel (all together): 100%!
Berman: OK. Now that Wills is out of the way — and hey, let’s give it up for the hats we saw today in London! Nobody’s better than royal watchers showing their team colors — But hats aside, Harry’s on the clock. I know guys, he’s a redhead, never faced the same competition as his brother, but there’s something about this kid. Not sure exactly what, but it’s the fact that he doesn’t want to be king impresses me. Like Maximus. Thoughts?
Gruden: At this point in the draft, character counts. Potential brides have to be taking a closer look after that dressing-as-Hitler broo-haa-haa. But, if you ask me, and you put aside the Nazi stuff — like we did with Vick and his dog fighting — well, then, I think we got a sleeper that can come in and be king at a moment’s notice. Any girl will be lucky to scoop up Harry at his point. Real value at this pick!
