Josh Allen

PositiveValue0:00

Josh Allen is going 28 spots ahead of Joe Burrow and 37 overall, which is high relative to the talent available around him, though he could still return value at this price point rather than requiring an early turn pick.

NegativeValue0:21

The opportunity cost of taking Josh Allen at 37 overall is significant—you're passing up potential top-five wide receivers, top-five running backs, and other elite talent in that range.

0:00Josh Allen's going about 30 spots ahead
0:02of QB2. Josh Allen officially 28 spots
0:06ahead of Joe Burrow over the last week.
0:09Now, that being said, Josh Allen is at a
0:11range where I think he could return
0:14value. He's going at 37 overall. So,
0:17this isn't like a year where you have to
0:18use like a 2-3 turn pick on Josh Allen.
0:21But, I think you have to start playing
0:23the whole idea of if I take Josh Allen
0:26here, what is the opportunity cost? Am I
0:28passing up on a potential
0:30top five wide receiver, a potential top
0:34five running back? You also could get
0:36access to a Colston Loveland in that
0:38range. Easily. Loveland's going lower
0:40than that. He's going 47 overall. So,
0:43you get potential tight end one overall
0:45with Colston Loveland if it all goes
0:46right. And then, you look at the Terry
0:50McLaurin, Breece Hall, we talked about
0:52Christian Watson, a bunch of other
0:54running backs, some of them a little bit
0:56dusty, but some interesting running
0:58backs there. So, I look at Josh Allen
1:00and it's sort of like, we know Josh
1:01Allen's going to be really, really good,
1:03but he's still going really highly
1:05considering the players around him. Now,
1:07the the devil's advocate take would be,
1:10Theo, be quiet. Josh Allen scores points
1:12and I'm going to avoid any single
1:14landmine. Just leave me alone and let me
1:15take Josh Allen at 37 overall. So, I get
1:17it from sort of both arguments.
1:20But, when you look at the gap between
1:22QB1 and the rest of the field, sort of
1:25makes me want to go to the rest of the
1:26field and wait a little bit at
1:28quarterback.
