Deep Pick choiceDraft Josh Allen over Trey McBride if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw QB and TE points are not the tiebreaker: Josh Allen is QB1 and No. 30 overall, 31 spots ahead of Trey McBride at TE2 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Trey McBride remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Josh Allen is the cleaner pick unless verified opportunity falls below 77.2% or the accepted team-scoring band changes.
