Episode notes
ADVICE

Draft Ricky Pearsall As Value Wide Receiver

  • Draft Ricky Pearsall as a high-upside, value WR because his ADP remains affordable relative to his role in the 49ers offense.
  • Expect him to benefit from increased reps and favorable matchups in a high-efficiency offense.
ADVICE

Target George Kittle In Round Four

  • Auto-click George Kittle if available in the fourth round because his efficiency and target floor remain elite at tight end.
  • He can produce TE1 value even with five to six targets, and more targets would make him elite.
INSIGHT

First Round Requires Clear Takes

  • The 2025 first round is unusually deep, forcing drafters to take a stand on preferences rather than clear mistakes.
  • Christian McCaffrey is elite but carries age and mileage risk that justifies ranking variance.
