if Ladd McConkey is having this total renaissance season, he's a real year three breakout, then Amari Hampton is definitely going to be a beneficiary of that... Let's say you love Ladd McConkey. I don't think Ladd McConkey is fine. I don't really have an opinion either way. I certainly don't think he's this year's JSN. I don't think he is a huge bust either. However, what would be better to take Ladd McConkey at 34 or instead to get DeVonta Smith or Chris Olave falling five spots after ADP?
STACKED’s take
Year-three breakout candidate; neutral value at pick 34 vs. falling WRs.
McConkey is positioned as a year-three breakout candidate with strong correlation to Amari Hampton in the Chargers offense under Mike McDaniel. Davis Mattek projects McConkey for around 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns, not reaching Tyreek Hill's 2023 ceiling of 1,800 yards and 13 touchdowns, but still a meaningful contributor if the McDaniel vision materializes. However, at pick 34, Mattek expresses a neutral stance on McConkey's value, stating he doesn't think McConkey is fine and doesn't have a strong opinion either way—he's neither this year's JSN nor a huge bust. Mattek suggests that getting DeVonta Smith or Chris Olave falling five spots after ADP would be better value than taking McConkey at 34. McConkey is drafted as part of Mattek's final wide receiver group alongside Justin Jefferson, Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Stefon Diggs, Trey Tucker, and Jerry Jeudy.
