Tier 3

4. Rome Odunze (WR – CHI)

5. Drake Maye (QB – NE)

6. J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)

7. Jayden Daniels  (QB – WAS)

This group is one of the most intriguing tiers in the top 36. You will see a lot of lists and mocks with the quarterbacks ahead of Nabers and Odunze, and I get the thought. My problem is that we, as a scouting community, have proven we are pretty awful at projecting quarterback success in the NFL. The top 3 wide receivers in this class are elite players and are not only some of the best players in the entire draft class but stand head and shoulders ahead of the fantasy-relevant skill players in this year’s draft. Rome Odunze may be a better wide receiver than Malik Nabers. He is that good. The reason he falls a tier below Nabers is volume. Always think of dynasty values in three-year windows, and because of the target competition in year one, Odunze falls behind Nabers and Harrison Jr. 

Now let’s dive into the signal-callers. For dynasty, I am not going to fight you on any order, but I rank them based on the overall skillset and support they will have to get them to succeed in the NFL. Maye is the most talented of the bunch, even if he has some gunslinger to him that gets him in trouble. The Patriots are committed to Maye and refused to move off of him in the draft. They surrounded the UNC product with weapons that fit his skillset well in Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker. McCarthy might not have the sexy highlight reel that the rest of the first-round quarterbacks have, but he has the best wide receiver in the NFL, and Kevin O’Connell and Josh McCown know how to develop young talent. That leaves Jayden Daniels. He sports the best rushing profile in the class but has shown struggles when getting past his first read and is flat-out bad at avoiding contact. This will be a huge problem when the players hitting him are NFL-caliber defenders. Longevity is a huge concern.
