Parker Washington, about to get a deal with James Gladstone, was drafted in round 8 as a young receiver prospect with contract security coming.

Christian Watson, newly signed to a 4-year, $110 million deal, was drafted in round 7 as a stopgap receiver and key piece enabling the team-building strategy by allowing the drafter to go three quarterbacks early.

Dak Prescott was drafted in round 6 at significant value, described as 'sick value' and worth more than a typical 6th-round pick, paying for itself in the draft strategy.

Saquon Barkley (referred to as 'Shook') is described as 'one of the biggest risers this whole offseason' and was drafted in round 5, providing excellent value.

Fernando Mendoza carries injury concern with worry about him playing more than 12 games this season, limiting his fantasy value despite being drafted in round 4.

Shedeur Sanders appears to be losing the quarterback competition in Cleveland to Deshaun Watson, who has the 'right of first refusal' and is 'just a tick ahead' despite Sanders' potential advantages in processing speed and read progressions.

The passing game around Watson may be better this year, with enough tools to make plays and support the run game.
