Draft Ladd McConkey over Emeka Egbuka. McConkey is the cleaner WR value by the board: he sits 8 spots higher (42nd vs Emeka), with a higher modeled median (168.3 vs 154.3) and higher high-end outcome (207.4 vs 199.9). His risk profile is also better (21 vs 29), while role command is lower (37.7% vs 39.3%) but not enough to offset the safer, higher-output profile. Same with playoff runway (51 vs 50). Timing only matters if your constraint changes.
