Who would you draft? - Dynasty 1.04 (1 Viewer)

So, to be fair, it is a Devy Dynasty up front but you don't need to play devy to help, I promise.

Brings us to the 1.04....

Here's a list of high level options for me to consider. I also own the 1.13 pick for where I finished. I want to be appropriately aggressive for 1.04:

QB : Kenny Pickett
RB : Kenneth Walker, James Cook
WR : Jameson Williams, George Pickens, Justyn Ross, Christian Watson, Skyy Moore
TE : Brock Bowers (incoming Sophomore at George but was stud freshman)

What would you do? I feel like I need QB depth with my Devy's not looking so hot last year, but Pickett seems like he might not be worth the 4th and only if he falls to the 13th (unlikely). I have a lot of receivers currently, but Jameson Williams would be awesome though I have a sense he and Walker will be first off the board. I think my realistic options will be Pickens, Pickett, and Bowers. Do I grab the Devy TE and just take ownership of that position for young TEs in a TE premium league or do I roll the dice with Pickett or Pickens as most likely options?

I would put them in this order:

1.  Williams

2. Walker

3.  Pickens

4. Pickett/Bowers (I know nothing about Bowers)

Thanks. The nuance with Devys is they take up a bench spot and when you think you made a bad choice, you bail and can always redraft later. I grabbed too many freshmen before so I might need to cut my losses in some cases. 

Bowers was a stud last year and is clear cut best Devy TE not named Michael Mayer (already owned). The choice for me is whether I should grab someone who can/should help right now or near future or whether I’m ok for now and should grab Bowers, who has a clear chance to be the top TE in the 2024 draft?

Edit : Should have added we are mostly superflex as well so Rodgers’ retirement on the horizon means I need a QB somewhat soon. I’m also pushing hard to acquire Drake London now. I need a QB and WR soon I think so if I get London it softens the blow of likely missing on Williams. Mostly makes me feel I need to decide if Pickett will ever be anything. If not, Bowers is probably the smart pick over Pickens, but could be wrong. Devy makes for interesting trades based on hope.
