Tough call but leaning Pickens.

I think I'd gamble on Egbuka bouncing back from his second half slump last season. Really nice at 8th rd value

Why not keep Egbuka for the value and slightly overdraft Pickens

Or flip the scenario

I had both last year. Pickens will have great games when there is a solid CB on Lamb, plus it only takes one deep TD to score a nice game. Egbuka's drop off at the year's end hit so hard I'll never want him on my team again.

I'm not going to research this, but my memory is that the entire Bucs WR/TE group was injured at the beginning of the 2025 season. Wasn't last year that they were dropping like flies?

I mention this because EE was great for half the season, then he was playing through an injury and very quiet for the second half.

Pro EE: WRs usually make big jumps in year 3, but sometimes in year 2 or 4.

Pro Pickets: Pickens had 1400+ yards last year. Not bad for a #2 WR. Pickens also looking for a long-term deal.

Eegbuka moved to the X after Evans went down and that's when he went downhill. Camp reports and the new OC confirm he will be back at Z this year where he fits best. I'm bullish on him

Egbuka has some red flags - his stats against man last year were league worst.

Pickens is borderline elite. Easy decision for me
