In a 12-team mock draft at the 1/2 turn (pick 12), the source identifies Jefferson as 'quite a good player' and a strong option for building an even roster split between running back and wide receiver. The source pairs Jefferson with Chase Brown to avoid double-dipping at running back. Later, the source notes Jefferson as a top pass catcher in full PPR alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Lad, expecting 'a decent amount of targets' and 'a decent amount of production' every week. Jefferson is also part of a strong wide receiver room that includes Zay Jones, Mike Evans, Brian Thomas, and Cole Kmet, described as 'really, really strong at wide receiver in full PPR.'

Ranked fifth WR; suffered significant TD variance unluckiness last season—tied for eighth with 10 red zone targets but caught only one, posting 29% red zone catch rate (third worst among players with 10+ red zone targets); issue was QB play (McCarthy and Max Bromer) not Jefferson's ability. New QB Kyler is not elite but better than McCarthy/Bromer. Before last season, Jefferson held the highest career receiving yards per game in NFL history at 96.5 yards per game (now Puka leads at 95). Kevin O'Donnell was praised as elite play designer/caller last season before McCarthy tanked the offense. Expecting big bounce back this season; amazing pick at tail end of round one. Historically costs a top-four pick but offers a very safe, high-end start with guaranteed volume and elite underlying talent. JJ Zachariason loves pairing Jefferson with elite RBs like Saquon Barkley or Gentry at the 1-2 turn to avoid waiting until the 3-4 turn for a second premium position.
