McConkey at 18th could climb to top 12; preferred over Tate for QB and environment.
Ladd McConkeyWR
McConkey's current ranking of 18th overall is viewed as fair, with an argument that he could justifiably sit as high as 15th, even if not quite top 12. It wouldn't be surprising if he climbs into the top 12 this season given the surrounding offensive environment and hopefully improved offensive line health. The source ultimately prefers McConkey over Tate, citing more confidence in McConkey's current quarterback situation and offensive environment, along with an already-strong rookie season once his playoff performance is factored in. That preference runs counter to what the trade market itself would suggest, since trading Tate for McConkey straight up would currently look like a value loss on paper.
