Draft Ladd McConkey over Jalen Hurts if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and QB points are not the tiebreaker: Ladd McConkey is WR25 and No. 43 overall, 40 spots ahead of Jalen Hurts at QB4 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Jalen Hurts remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Ladd McConkey is the cleaner pick unless verified opportunity falls below 30.1% or the accepted team-scoring band changes.
