Brian Thomas Jr. being taken off the board is described as a tough run out for the team's draft.

Scott Barrett believes Brock Bowers is poised to break fantasy football at the tight end position this year, particularly in tight end premium formats.

Colston Loveland is viewed as having some upside in a better offense, but carries significant downside risk compared to other tight end options. While he is a dynasty target for some, there is skepticism regarding his redraft ADP.

Cooper Kupp is used as a benchmark for Puka Nacua's potential, with Mike Schop suggesting Nacua is currently the better player and could replicate Kupp's 2021 elite usage.

Scott Barrett questions why Ja'Marr Chase is consistently drafted ahead of Puka Nacua, noting that Chase has only outscored the Sean McVay WR1 in one of his five career seasons.

Ladd McConkey is selected as part of the draft flow.

Barrett believes Nacua could see elite usage, potentially mirroring Cooper Kupp's historic 2021 season, and dismisses concerns regarding a potential one-game suspension as negligible in a tournament format. Mike Schop adds that Nacua is currently the better player compared to Kupp and could replicate that elite usage.
