We’re still seeing WR1-caliber receivers go in the third round, which demonstrates the depth at the position—and why early runs on running backs will occur.
Tennessee Titans wideout A.J. Brown is perhaps an outlier, though. While he did have 11 touchdown receptions in 2020, he only had 70 receptions and 1,075 receiving yards. He’ll also now be paired with a target-dominant receiver in Julio Jones.
Allen Robinson II, on the other hand, provides tremendous value in Round 3. He racked up 1,250 yards with some subpar Chicago Bears quarterback play last season. The duo of Andy Dalton and Justin Fields should give Chicago an upgrade under center, while Chicago’s passing attack is going to run through Robinson.
Two more quarterbacks come off the board in Round 3, which is where they should. While Mahomes provides the best floor among signal-callers, managers should be happy to wind up with Allen or Kyler Murray as their QB1.
We’re firmly into the RB2/Flex territory with running backs here, though. Las Vegas Raiders runner Josh Jacobs, for example, racked up more than 1,300 scrimmage yards in 2020. However, he’ll be splitting time with Kenyan Drake this season. He is not a viable RB1 option.
