Episode notes
Scheme + Health Unlock Receiver Upside
- Coaching and schematic fit can unlock underdrafted receivers when combined with health.
- Chris Olave’s success came from Kellen Moore’s fast, throw-heavy scheme and Olave staying healthy.
Target Rushing Quarterbacks Late
- Take late-round quarterbacks who can generate rushing yards as high-upside swings.
- Adam Levitan still endorses the rushing-QB archetype despite Justin Fields failing due to organizational chaos.
Avoid Mid-Round Tight End Mediocrity
- Rookie tight ends in mid rounds often have capped ceilings unless they’re true unknowns.
- Levitan prefers either elite tight ends or very late upside swings over middling mid-round TE picks.
