Jonathan Brooks. As the guy here. Again, this is a pure upside take, you know, and stance where I just look at Chuba Hubbard. I think he's fine. His ADP is a lot more appealing this year than it was last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Brooks is a high-upside ninth-round target over Chuba Hubbard.

JJ Zachariason targets Jonathan Brooks in the ninth round as a pure upside play. He contrasts Brooks' strong college pass-catching profile (83rd percentile adjusted receiving yards per team play) and tackle-avoidance metrics (94th percentile) against Chuba Hubbard, who has a career 0.85 yards per route run. Zachariason prefers Brooks over other options like Jake Ferguson in this range.
