Deep Pick choiceDraft Dalton Kincaid over T.J. Hockenson. Kincaid is the higher draft value by the board (108th vs 22 spots ahead) and the more reliable baseline model, with a better median (128.7 vs 108.2) and better high-end ceiling (163.8 vs 138.2). He also comes with the safer risk read (33 vs 34) and a stronger playoff runway (67 vs 57). Account for acquisition timing: Kincaid’s edge is present in the supplied projection ranges.
