Brock Bowers to outplay his draft cost (anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts)
I'm willing to take Brock Bowers anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts... The Raiders have an anemic wide receiver corps, so Bowers should be awash in targets this season.
Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (his ADP as of this writing is RB34 (96th overall))
You'd have hit big on a mid-round pick. This is a bet worth making.
Jeremiyah Love to outplay his draft cost (expert consensus ranking (ECR) as of this writing is RB13)
Drafting Love is a great way to capitalize on an irrational fear... I still expect a big season from the explosive rookie.

Kyler Murray to outplay his draft cost (a current ADP of QB13 or later)
I've been pounding the table for Kyler Murray all offseason, and I'm not letting up. He's officially been named the starting quarterback for the Vikings, and I think he's in for a massive year.
