Mattek frames Jefferson as an elite WR anchor at pick 11 and a dip-buying opportunity despite 2024 concerns about Kyler Murray and Jefferson's sub-1,000-yard season. Jefferson ranks second in receiving yards per game among active players behind only Jamar Chase; Mattek believes there's a better chance Jefferson goes first overall in 2027 than falls out of the first round entirely. The strategy is to use Jefferson as an elite anchor and then ignore the WR position for the rest of the draft. Later in the draft, Mattek questions whether Jefferson was the right pick at this stage, suggesting Saquon Barkley might have been better value, as wide receivers at this range project worse than running backs.
