Chase at 1.04 is an easy pick; 175-185 targets, WR1 ceiling with healthy Burrow.

If Ja'Marr Chase falls to 1.04, he is a very easy selection; the Bengals' defense improvements are unlikely to move away from the passing game, which is excellent news for Chase. Chase has led the league in targets for two consecutive seasons with 175 and 185 targets, and has recorded 1,400+ receiving yards in two years. His consistency is worth paying for at the top of the draft. Chase's ceiling is tied to Joe Burrow's health: in games with Burrow since Chase was drafted, he averages 0.78 touchdowns and 20.67 PPR points; without Burrow, those numbers drop to 0.33 touchdowns and 15.48 points. Burrow is fully healthy this offseason, and the source projects Chase for another WR1 overall season.
