INSIGHT

McLaurin Is Safer But Needs Time

  • Terry McLaurin's new 3-year deal makes him a safer mid-round pick but expect a slow start while he rebuilds timing with Jaden Daniels.
  • Draft him as a post-bye target and assume the first two weeks may be below his peak production.
ADVICE

Don't Reach For McLaurin Early

  • Avoid reaching for McLaurin in round three despite the contract news and recent touchdown spike last year.
  • Target him around the end of round four to get value while accounting for touchdown regression risk.
INSIGHT

  • Pearsall's ADP may already price in upside, so his real ceiling depends on Jennings' timeline.
