Who should I draft at 3.08 in startup?

[crip7300]

This is a start up draft, I'm on the clock at 3.08 and really struggling which player to take, so far I've started with youth build.
The league is a superflex, tiered ppr (RB - 0.75, WR - 1.0, TE - 1.75), 1 pt per rushing/receiving 1st down, all TDs 6 pts.
These leagues are really hard to trade for QBs and RBs.

My current roster

1.08 - Kyler Murray
2.05 - Trevor Lawrence
2.09 - Breece Hall (traded my 12.05, 23 1st, and 24 2nd)
3.08 - ?
4.05 - ?

Best available at each position

QB - Rodgers, Carr, Tua
RB - Henry, Ekeler, Mixon, Cook, Akers, Kamara, Etienne
WR - Kupp, Adams, Higgins, Metcalf, Diggs, Deebo
TE - Kelce, Kittle, Waller, Schultz

I also have a 23 1st and 24 2nd on the table for this pick.

So with all this veteran talent on the board its really making me want to switch gears and grab Kupp here and see what else falls to me the next few picks. If I stay with the youth build, I'd probably be leaning towards Higgins, DK, Deebo or Etienne.

What should I do? TIA and sry for super long post.

Kupp is fine, although personally I would grab Mixon here

Nice work on the Hall trade!!

I’d be looking at Higgins here and looking at the 4 th round as the fork in the road

Higgins makes most sense for you given your choices thus far. You're building a young team, and Higgins will give you another 8 years of worry-free production.

I'd also grab Higgins here. Play the long game with that build. You're already probably not winning year 1, but you can have a strong team year 2.

I'd go Higgins as well. I like the talent, though I think the Bengals won't pay him after his rookiedeal due to Chase. Still fits your timetable by staying young. You can never have enough young talent at WR imo.

If you are all in on going young, Higgins is the play for me.

I guess I'd go Higgins, DK, or Carr.

Thanks everyone for the responses and I like Higgins a lot, but I'm really struggling pulling the trigger on a teams #2 WR in the 3rd round. Still looking at Kupp, Mixon, Etienne, DK, Pittman and Deebo. Super tough decision.

**UPDATE**

Just pulled off a trade. Sent the 3.08 for the 6.11 and 23 1st.

I was just too indecisive and with my build, if I was going WR here, I think I can still get a good youngish WR at pick 70 overall - Probably looking at players like Mike Williams, Sutton, Mooney, maybe Bateman and a few of the top rookies. Plus getting a 23 1st, it feels like a good move for the overall value and longevity of my team.

Idk why people are so afraid to invest in WRs. The top ones definitely have a huge separation from the Mooney tier. And compared to running backs they are generally more durable and have a longer shelf life.

You have a ‘23 1st again, so that’s something. I was going to post that you may want to consider Carr after that trade for Hall sent yours away. QBs are tough to get after the startup without early 1sts. This is the time they are the cheapest.
