Just like every other draft position grouping, there are pros and cons to having a late pick. But selecting from these particular positions — the 10, 11 and 12 slots — can feel especially daunting.
You will miss out on the players who are in the conversation for 1.01, the top overall pick. Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase and Christian McCaffrey will be long gone. You might even see an Austin Ekeler or a Travis Kelce slide a pick or two and get your hopes up only to see them drafted right before you’re on the clock. However, this position comes with less pressure than say, the 1.01, and it offers you two swings at top-15 players, a luxury not available to other managers.
