Justin Herbert

Brock Purdy

McFarland sees Purdy as annually underrated after a QB6 finish despite rarely having a fully healthy offense, with added weapons giving him another strong floor and ceiling combination.

Kyler Murray

Jordan Love

QB · GB

McFarland believes Green Bay could lean more heavily on the passing game and sees Love's proven touchdown ceiling, improving downfield efficiency and deep group of weapons as a strong late-round quarterback bet.

Jonathon Brooks

RB · CAR

JC

Jacory Croskey-Merritt

RB · WAS

McFarland sees Croskey-Merritt as underpriced given positive camp reports, possible receiving growth and a Washington offense he projects to be one of the league's stronger rushing units.

Malik Nabers

WR · NYG

McFarland is buying the injury discount on Nabers, believing his ceiling remains well above the receivers being drafted around him if he can get healthy early in the season.

McFarland loves Waddle's move to Denver, where a versatile WR1 role under Sean Payton and a high-volume passing attack give him major upside.

Christian Watson

WR · GB

McFarland believes Watson's elite yards-per-route efficiency, healthy offseason and expected increase in volume give him legitimate WR1 upside at a major discount.

CL

Colston Loveland

TE · CHI

McFarland sees Loveland as a high-end tight end target with elite late-season underlying usage and a draft price well below the very top of the position.

GK

George Kittle

TE · SF

McFarland believes Kittle's injury and age concerns have pushed his price too low for a player who still showed top-three tight end usage and efficiency last season.
