PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026
Josh Allen is the consensus QB1 at pick 36 ADP with six straight years of 21.5+ PPG, demonstrating elite consistency. However, Mattek prefers Lamar Jackson at pick 55 due to opportunity cost, though Allen remains a tier-one option.NegativeBustJul 27, 2026
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.PositiveProjectionJul 14, 2026
