Podcast7 Chaotic Wide Receiver Position Battles You MUST Figure Out Before Draft Day (...July 29, 2026

From the episode

Brian Thomas, Jr. is the most expensive guy...his rookie breakout in that second half of the season. That happened with a different quarterback in a different offense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Thomas Jr. is the priciest Jags WR but his rookie success came under different QB/system.

The source ranks Brian Thomas Jr. as wide receiver 33, the most expensive among Jaguars receivers, but notes his rookie breakout occurred with a different quarterback (Mac Jones) and offensive system than current setup with Trevor Lawrence. His upside is questioned relative to Parker Washington's year-four breakout profile and Jacoby Myers' established role, though at WR33 his upside if he returns to league-defining rookie form could look attractive.
