Draft Terry McLaurin over Joe Burrow if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and QB points are not the tiebreaker: Terry McLaurin is WR17 and No. 29 overall, 86 spots ahead of Joe Burrow at QB15 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Joe Burrow remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Terry McLaurin is the cleaner pick unless verified opportunity falls below 29.5% or the accepted team-scoring band changes.
