Devaughn Vele or Darren Waller: who to draft first
Both players' board rank, position rank, draft pick and bye, measured across live 2026 drafts.
Updated Sep 18, 2026 at 9:01 AM ET
The board takes Devaughn Vele first, 1 spot ahead of Darren Waller. That crosses a tier break, tier 8 to tier 4, so the board order is the tiebreak rather than roster need. On the clock? Take Devaughn Vele. If your WR room is full and you need a TE, Darren Waller is one line down.
