ADVICE

Don't Overpay For Hockenson

  • Avoid drafting TJ Hockenson too early this year because returning receivers and Mack's run plan can cut his upside.
  • Dave Richard: Hockenson's ceiling falls once Addison and Jefferson are healthy.
INSIGHT

Workload And Age Raise Saquon Risk

  • High prior workloads and age materially raise bust risk for Saquon Barkley despite ADP.
  • Jamey Eisenberg cites historical trends showing heavy-touch RBs often decline or get hurt the next year.
ADVICE

Avoid Chasing Quarterbacks In Mid Rounds

  • Don't draft top QBs too early simply because ADP spikes; prioritize other positions unless you play Superflex.
  • Hosts note many QBs have rushed into early rounds and advise waiting.
