• Wide receiver is the right first-round pick outside of 1.01: Christian McCaffrey is the right pick at 1.01, but a wide receiver is the way to go at any other pick in the first round.

• Figure out when Rashee Rice will be available: It has become increasingly clear that a suspension of Rice is unlikely to happen in 2024, making him potentially the best value.
