I think that you have to be aggressive if you want to get a chance to get the Patriots alpha wide receiver, because I think that his upside is sky high.

STACKED’s take

Draft AJ Brown aggressively; he has overall WR1 upside in the Patriots' offense.

Andrew Erickson argues AJ Brown is a must-draft target even in rounds one or two, despite an ADP at the turn of rounds two and three. He projects a monster season in the Patriots' offense, citing Josh McDaniels' history of feeding alpha receivers 150+ targets. Brown's 2024 production was hampered by disinterest in an anemic Eagles scheme, yet he still finished as WR11 in points per game. With a quarterback upgrade, a high pass-rate offense, and a tougher schedule necessitating more volume, Erickson believes Brown has overall WR1 upside.
