    Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost (later rounds)

    Despite Cleveland drafting two rookie wide receivers in the first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, I still believe Harold Fannin Jr. will be a focal point of Todd Monken's offense.

    St. Brown is being drafted as the half-point-per-reception (half-PPR) format's 1.08, WR4 consensus pick by average draft position (ADP)... His current ADP can reasonably be viewed as a buy-low opportunity.

    Brock Purdy to outplay his draft cost (after the 10th round)

    Brock Purdy is going to be completely overlooked on draft day, which makes him one of the easiest players to add to our recommendations as a must-have quarterback... In Purdy, you're getting one of the most efficient and productive quarterbacks in the league after the 10th round.

    Dak Prescott to outplay his draft cost (QB8 in ADP)

    Prescott is the QB8 in ADP, which seems egregious... You don't have to reach for a quarterback when a top-five option can be had later.
