Bijan or saquon. Yes I am still high on saquon. And I am not that high on chase at all. In a 3WR format I can see why you'd want to prioritise WR. But I don't have chase over Jefferson and it's not all just bias.
Chase catches from burrow, which is great... Except burrow has to operate behind an o line that would fall over at the mention of a gust of wind.
Jefferson has an unknown in McCarthy, but let's be objective here. McCarthy just has to be better than mullens, hall and the passtronaught (Dobbs) which isn't a high bar as Jefferson did plenty good enough with those three QBs. The vikings have invested a 1st in McCarthy, they didn't bring in a veteren, they let both Kirk and Darnold walk, they've gone to FA and built the best O line outside of possibly Philly, it tells me that the organisation has a lot of faith in JJMc.
If you're thinking WR at that spot (and starting 3 wide I can see why you would), I'd take Jefferson as WR1 over Chase.
TLDR consider Jefferson over Chase because OLine.
That's just my 2 cents.
Jefferson is so good, and the environment in Minnesota is so good, I can see it.

All your points are valid. Yet Burrow and Chase connection still dominates despite the crap OLine and a D that can't get off the field. Hard to argue with picking Chase or JJ.
Since we are being somewhat biased here lets not forget CMC is the healthiest he has been in years and ready to dominate. The 49ers have no WRs for the first 3 weeks of the season. CMC is going to eat. Not saying he should go first overall but don't sleep on CMC.
By the way you should check out @chrisliss' pod https://fountain.fm/episode/D2upFCimExejZUQ5vDZX

Healthy McCaffrey could be the 1.1 but it's not just the health risk, but the decline risk at this point. What if he's lost a step like Dalvin Cook who was great one year and bad the next? I tend to think he'll have one more year near peak level if healthy, but he's at the cliff-risk age.

Cook really went from RB1 to out the league in the snap of a finger.
RBs are such an anomaly, because kamara is still going and honestly I think he's being slept on. His ADP is somewhere in the 3rd or even 4th rounds, that's a steal.

I've been burned by CMC too many times now. I don't think he's going to be anyone's 1.01 however... I can see a world where we look back and say he should have been.
I'm trying to remain objective I really am 🤣🤣 but I cant put chase above Jefferson. Every angle I look at I always lean Jefferson.
