AJ Brown or DK Metcalf at 1.06?

Postby Randomguess » Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:48 am

AJ Brown seems like a safer pick, but DK may have a higher ceiling. My team is rebuilding and not competing this year so the minor knee surgery for DK is not a factor. Thoughts?

Do you roster any other players on either of their teams? If so, maybe you want to diversify across NFL teams.

In a vacuum though, I like Brown long term.
"Marathon Square" - 16 team full PPR league with 24 player roster. Keep 16 per year indefinitely, draft 8. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Team DST

WR: A.J. Brown, Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Calvin Ridley, Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Tutu Atwell, Allen Lazard, Isaiah Hodgins, Justin Shorter
TE: T.J. Hockenson, Cole Kmet, Kylen Granson
K: Didn't make the playoffs in 2023 :cry: , and don't usually hold one in the offseason
Team DST: Cowboys, Lions

Picks:
2024: 1.06, 2.06, 4.06, 5.06, 6.06, 7.06, 8.06

Brown is probably more talented and higher floor, but I like DK's QB much better and think he might have the higher upside.

I like Brown long term but he is not in a great situation out of the gate. Metcalf has a much better situation for immediate return.

I know it's not an option in the asked question . But I would try to Trade down. I honestly think the talent is pretty even next many picks so why not trade down

I have more picks over the next 2 years than I do roster spots, so trading down for additional picks is not an option. In any other scenario, I would agree.

I think Brown is the better player long term, I don't see Metcalf ever staying healthy
