Nah. Blake Bortles made fantasy stars out of a lot of WRs thanks to entire quarters of garbage time. Josh Allen has a stronger arm than Bortles, and doesn’t seem to be appreciably more incompetent (low bar to clear...).
I think a WR headed to Buffalo isn’t the worst investment of a mid to late 1st this spring.

I doubt I'll be drafting any QBs in dynasty leagues before the mid-to-late 3rd round. Even in a good year for QBs I usually don't draft them before the 2nd round and I doubt this is a good year for QBs.

quite excited about this guy. I think he is underrated and could be as good as any qb in the last few drafts

I don’t understand how many people are completely writing off this draft class. I understand the QB class isn’t oozing with talent. The RB class lacks a clear cut top dog, or a “generational talent.” I get all that, but I am almost certain there will be more 1st round selections at combined QB, RB, WR in 2019 than there was in 2018.
So it seems like people are disregarding this draft because of the lack of depth at QB (which does that even matter after the last few years of QB rich drafts? With so many leagues with 1 QB, and QBs going round 2/3 in rookie drafts, why does this matter?) and with the lack of a real sensational RB like Barkley was last year. I see several RBs who are pretty exciting and just as good, if not better, prospects than Freeman, Jones, maybe even Johnson and Guice. The 2nd and 3rd rounds are going to have a lot of talent, with 1 or 2 going round 1.
I guess I just find it hard to comprehend how some people in this forum are completely disregarding the 2019 draft pretty adamantly. A lot of these people are posters that 9.5/10 times I completely disagree with, so I guess their opinion doesn’t hold much weight. I just feel like this WR class especially is going to be the class that eventually changes the top rankings of fantasy WRs. Holding your strength at WR seems to be a good recipe for success in dynasty, and this is a great year to grab some amazing talents. I see up to 3 of these WRs being "generational talents" at WR. That's exciting.

2019 is lacking as things stand right now (as a whole). Most of the recent big boards (top 32) at this time have 1 or 2 QBs, no RBs, 2 or 3 WRs, & a TE. Matt Miller has all 3 WRs lasting longer than DJ Moore did this year. In fact, 2 of the 3 are 31 & 32. WR was supposed to be this classes' strength.
There'll no doubt be some value like ALL draft classes, but it's looking poorly. The QB & RB classes are MUCH weaker than 2018.
How many picks you own in a class can't be the reason it's good. It changes nothing. Many of my peers also view this class as disappointing right now.
This class simply doesn't have a good look at this time. Hopefully, some of the better prospects in this class make a big jump & some of the under-the-radar guys emerge.
It's still early so we'll see.

Yeah, I know, but there are several great wrs who will make a push for 1st round consideration. I see 3 QBs depending who declares. possibly 4. 1 or 2 RBs. And then I see a large number of wrs potentially going. depends on the combine of course. I see potentially 2 in the top 10.
And I'll set the record straight. just because I have a number of 2019 picks doesnt mean I like the draft class. I have a number of 2019 picks because I like the draft class.

What I meant by my comment earlier (who wasn't directed at anybody) is it's good to have picks & be excited (depending on what you paid), but you have to be realistic with your expectations with a particular class.
Most people view this class as a little disappointing at the very least. It was supposed to be highlighted by some exceptional WR prospects, but they've taken a bit of a dive in most people's opinion.
There's always going to be 1st-round QBs, but this QB class pales to last year's. RB is extremely weak right now & the WRs haven't been as good as advertised. TE could be pretty decent.
I got out of this class as much as I could (when it made sense), but I want to stress there'll still be value. And like I said, it's early so it could get better.
There's no doubt you can find gems, but the chances are quite a bit less than in recent classes, IMO. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Sometimes a FF class can be helped by prospects going to good situations. Lots to be determined yet.

Same here but I really want a stud RB and there isn't one in this class.
I like these 4 WRs: D.K Metcalf, N'Keal Harry, Marquise Brown, Riley Ridley. I'll take whoever gets to play with a franchise QB that will be around for the next decade.

AJ Brown > DK Metcalf IMO. I can see Metcalf as another Treadwell. I also like Anthony Johnson WR Buffalo and Kelvin Harman WR NC State. The thing that bothers me about Marquise Brown is that he's only 5'10 168. I also like N'Keal Harry.

Metcalf is better than Treadwell. I was never high on him. Now if his 40 time is a slow as Treadwell's. I'll drop him down the list. Who would you compare AJ Brown to? Anthony Johnson strikes me as a guy like Mohammed Sanu. Never elevates to the #1 guy but puts up pretty good numbers. One of the guys you have on the team that you never start except for bye weeks or injury replacements. I need a guy putting up great #s.
Haven't figured out Harmon yet. He's not fast and the NFL is going with fast guys a lot more lately. That's why if M. Brown goes somewhere that has an accurate QB, his size won't matter. Yeah, he's tiny. But another 15 lbs and he's in the Tyreek Hill, Antonio Brown weight area. Supposedly he came into OK about 145 so he's already added weight.
It's so hard to do without knowing what team they are on. A guy you put in the top 5 gets drafted by OAK or BUF drops like a rock. No consensus #1 RB. Lots of guys but none stick out above everyone else..

Harmon will run a about a 4.5 / 4.54 40 at the combine. His ability to win on passes above his head or outside his frame is his strength. He is a well rounded WR. Earlier this year he was uncoverable against Syracuse. Whether it was ripping off a 74-yard touchdown or displaying his elite body control and ball skills on back-shoulder throws, Harmon did it all. He finished the game with 11 catches for 247 yards with two touchdowns.
