Third-round ADP poor value; better to wait on QB and prioritize skill.

Josh AllenQBBUF

Josh Allen's third-round ADP is a poor value relative to skill-position alternatives (Tee Higgins, Jacobs, Flowers, Neighbors, Achane, Doubs, Waddle, Ladd, Teat) and cheaper quarterback options available later. While Allen has finished as QB1 multiple times and posted 42- and 37-point games, the massive trade-off of passing on premium skill players in round 3 is not justified when Jayden Daniels (round 6) and Jalen Hurts (round 7) are available. Pairing a cheaper QB with a more expensive RB (e.g., Javonte Williams + Justin Herbert over Josh Allen + Rico Dowdle) is the superior strategy.
