Positioned as a viable second-round alternative to running backs; source explicitly states 'the wide receivers that are in this round are Justin Jefferson, Drake London, Nico Collins, A.J. Brown. You could make the case for any of those guys over Derek Henry and Omari in Hampton,' indicating WR options are competitive with lower-tier RBs in second round.PositiveValueJun 5, 2026
A.J. Brown should be taken over Nico Collins and George Pickens based on superior QB play (Drake May vs. Romeo Doubs and Russell Wilson), making him the clear choice in that tier.PositiveMatchupJun 5, 2026
Drake May had 67 deep completions (2nd) and .95 EPA per attempt on deep shots (1st), creating an ideal connection for A.J. Brown's deep target profile and suggesting first-round return potential.PositiveProjectionJun 5, 2026
A.J. Brown is now WR8 by ADP (ADP 22) after being WR11 last year, with strong underlying metrics: 480 routes, 121 targets, 78 catches for 1,003 yards and 7 TDs (8.3 targets per game), 2+ yards per route, and 95 air yards per game as a deep target specialist.PositiveRoleJun 5, 2026
