Recap:
The best players to pick at each position are Christian McCaffrey (RB), Michael Thomas (WR), Travis Kelce (TE), and Patrick Mahomes (QB).
A few value picks on this list are Kyler Murray, John Brown, and T.Y. Hilton.
Kyler has a new All-Pro receiver in DeAndre Hopkins and has the return of trade deadline acquisition, Kenyan Drake. Murray has an arsenal around him and added protection on the line with the addition of Josh Jones in the third round of the draft.
John Brown is a perfect WR option for Josh Allen. Allen has great arm strength that pairs well with Brown’s speed. Last year, Brown set career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Expect more production from him this year.
T.Y. Hilton has slipped in recent years due to injuries and consistency issues. However, if he is to fall into the fifth or sixth round in a draft, he is a value add. Newly-drafted WR Michael Pittman will pair well as the No. 2 and with Ebron now in Pittsburgh, Hilton has more opportunities in targets.
