Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost (wide Receiver thirty nine)
Lemon's in a great spot assuming there is no a J. Brown. I think he's more I think he's a certain hit this year if AJ Brown is gone, so I will probably be spending considerable capital on him at that spot.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said May 10, 2026 Alec Pierce to outplay his draft cost (thirty two)
Yeah, wide receiver three, I'm buying... So right now the current ECR... It's thirty two. That's about perfect for me.
Emeka Egbuka to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver twenty four)
I'm comfortable with him as a two if I'm going heavy running back, but I would love him as a three. I think he offers way more value as a three
Emeka Egbuka to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver twenty four)
I'm just gonna put my head down and draft like he's wide receiver twenty four. I just think that that's too low

Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (the expert consensus twenty sixth running back)
Well, there's a ton of upside at the current ECR... I think drafting of at his current price is perfectly fine, and there's a ton of upside there

Waiting on the season to settle this.said May 10, 2026 Jimmy Rolder to outplay his draft cost (fourth round grade)
My favorite sleeper at linebacker in this class is Jimmy Rolder out of Michigan... I have a fourth round grade on him
Oronde Gadsden II to outplay his draft cost (going outside that top five)
there's other pieces out there that are going outside that top five, Rondez Gass and Sam Laporter
Sam LaPorta to outplay his draft cost (going outside that top five)
there's other pieces out there that are going outside that top five, Rondez Gass and Sam Laporter, which I want to whisper because man, that ADP is looking juicy
Sam LaPorta to outplay his draft cost (ADP is ridiculously low)
we're gonna wake up one day in late May and suddenly a whole bunch of people a gonna realize, hey man, Sam Laporta's ADP is ridiculously low
Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost (a mid to low end RB two)
you're telling me a guy that I can draft as a mid to low end RB two and in that spot you want upside... The upside swing you want to take at running back this year is basial Tutin
Wan'Dale Robinson to outplay his draft cost (as a wide receiver three on your team)
If you draft this guy as a wide receiver three on your team... I think he absolutely can be a league winner
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (as a QB two)
Malik Willis the cost is going to be suppressed as a QB two because of all these worries
Mike Evans to outplay his draft cost (You will get a discount based off of his age, based off the injury history)
the upside is not going to be priced into Mike Evans. Yes, I'm all in.
Isaiah Likely to outplay his draft cost (outside of the top twelve tight ends)
approaching Isaiah Likely is a mush [must] draft guy with top five upside at the position. I think it's just it honestly feels like low hanging fruit
Zay Flowers to outplay his draft cost (twenty)
So I love Zay Flowers and I want to be aggressively ranking him ahead of ECR.
Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost (fifty eight)
Jalen Cocher another one of my guys, circle him at fifty eight
Josh Downs to outplay his draft cost (fifty seven)
This guy, I think is much better than wide receiver fifty seven when it comes to his talent level
Jayden Higgins to outplay his draft cost (forty nine)
you have at forty nine Jayden Higgins, who I'm very high on personally this year
Wan'Dale Robinson to outplay his draft cost (forty eight)
yes, I want to keep ranking Wandelle Robinson this high... It's underrated
Ricky Pearsall to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver thirty five)
the simple to put a bow on this conversation is you should invest in Ricky Piersall. This is a bet worth making this year.
Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost (the late rounds)
this year I have been hammering Jalen Cocker in the late rounds because the writing's been on the wall
Emeka Egbuka to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver thirty three)
real time ADP he's wide receiver thirty three... I just keep moving him up, Just keep moving them up.
Travis Hunter to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver thirty one and seventy fourth overall)
I have my wide receiver twenty five. I have him at fifty second overall. Right now in real time ADP, he is wide receiver thirty one and seventy fourth overall. I am aggressively ahead
Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver seventy six)
Jalen Cocher is the one where you're making that bet for basically free... he's wide receiver seventy six, one hundred and sixty third overall
DeVonta Smith to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver three)
In some places his ADP is a wide receiver three. Okay, that's ridiculous. So he's gonna pay off even if AJ Brown stays healthy
