**Top 3 Rounds Breakdown**
***ADP Info from Fantasy Sharks***
1st Round
Austin Ekeler-RB and Nick Chubb-RB both have a 1st round asking price. According to Fantasy Sharks, Ekeler is the play here as his ADP has him going 5th overall (mid 1st rounder) compared to Chubb’s 12th overall (low 1st rounder).
2nd Round
There is no one on the team with a 2nd round asking price.
3rd Round
Both Lamar Jackson-QB & Keenan Allen-WR have a 3rd round asking price. This is about their market value as they both have an ADP in the low 3rd round (Jackson, 34th overall; Allen, 36th overall).
The elephant in the room is all the talent on this team with a 4th round asking price.
Jared Goff-QB
Justin Fields-QB
Josh Jacobs-RB
Stefon Diggs-WR
Zaire Franklin-LB
Jalen Ramsey-DB
Keep in mind, to keep two with a 4th round asking price you would need to overpay for one (meaning giving up a 3rd rounder & a 4th rounder to keep two 4th rounders). It will be interesting to see what they do here but personally I’d let Jackson & Allen go and keep Jacobs with my 3rd and Diggs with my 4th.
