JJ Zachariason emphasizes AJ Brown as an elite wide receiver that should not be overlooked in drafts. He notes that rigid early running back strategies can result in zero exposure to elite receivers like AJ Brown and Drake London, stressing the importance of flexible draft construction to ensure access to top-tier pass catchers.PositiveBreakoutJul 3, 2026
JJ Zachariason's bold take: AJ Brown has overall WR 1 upside in 2026. Zachariason was prepared to hate Brown after last year's decline, viewing him as a big-bodied receiver breaking down with age; however, he believes motivation was a huge problem last year—the relationship between Brown and Hurts deteriorated, and Brown was upset with play-calling and the Philadelphia situation. Zachariason views the decline as effort-based rather than talent-based. The Patriots trade provides a fresh start with new motivation and a new lease on life. The Patriots offense is strong: +3.2% pass rate over expected over the full year, 12th in neutral pass rate, and +12.9% pass rate over expected on second-and-8 or greater (a monster number showing smart play-calling). Zachariason draws a parallel to Saquon Barkley's resurgence with Philadelphia and notes Brown loves his new coach.PositiveRoleJun 26, 2026
