    De'Von Achane to outplay his draft cost (the beginning of the second)

    He's my twelfth overall player. I want to stay ahead of consensus on a Chan. I think he's worth a first round pick

    CeeDee Lamb to outplay his draft cost (pick six)

    I think Ceedee Lamb's in a really good spot to just potentially be the wide receiver one overall that you can get a pick six.

    Trey Benson to outplay his draft cost (round twelve)

    Yeah, Trey Benson. Think he's a premium hand cut back, great prospect coming out last year... hopefully he does have an expanded role.

    Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (eleventh overall)

    If you're looking at ADP on fantasypros dot com right now, he's eleventh overall... sometimes you can get him in round two or at the back end of round one.

    De'Von Achane to outplay his draft cost (pick sixteen)

    Miles Sanders to outplay his draft cost (Round fifteen)

    It's gonna be Miles Sanders not trending well... I would expect that you actually have to spend a reasonable draft on Blue where Miles Sanders could be your last pick.

    TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost (Round six)

    We're gonna go Trevion Henderson and you have an elite prospect profile. Perfect situation if it wasn't for Amadre being there, I think this would be a Round three pick.

    Jayden Higgins to outplay his draft cost (round ten)

    So Jayde Higgins, Yes, as a guy you're drafting as your wide receiver five on a lot of different teams. We could be mid season he's producing as a borderline two three for your lineups.
