I went with Fernando Mendoza because this is the cheapest point. He's not going to he's not going to massively lose value over the course of the season, whether he plays or doesn't play.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Mendoza is a safe, high-upside QB pick at the 1.02 with long-term potential.

Fernando Mendoza is selected at the 1.02 because he represents the cheapest entry point for a high-upside quarterback. Even if he does not start immediately, he is unlikely to lose significant value, making him a safe, risk-averse pick with 'nuke' potential if he hits his ceiling in Clint Kubiak's offense.
