Draft Note by John Paulsen
Reception Perception’s Derrick Klassen isn't sold on McCarthy's tools, but there's no doubt that he has landed in a great spot. Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Aaron Jones form a potent receiving corps, so he's immediately set up for success, though it appears that he will start the season on the bench (behind Sam Darnold). My rookie quarterback model predicts 14.2 rushing yards per game, so he has a bit of juice in his legs. He could be in the QB2 mix in superflex formats if/when he’s able to win the starting job.
