Draft Emeka Egbuka over Drake Maye if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and QB points are not the tiebreaker: Emeka Egbuka is WR11 and No. 24 overall, 76 spots ahead of Drake Maye at QB8 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Drake Maye remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Emeka Egbuka is the cleaner pick unless a newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment.

Maye’s strongest path is that QB ceiling environment fully materializing (343.7) while translating his massive role command into weekly scoring.
A newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment.
