Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks out his rankings to tell you his favorite values and fades against present average draft position. Things start off with a breakdown on why Ryan Fitzpatrick is flying under the radar before Ian cautions against expecting too much too soon from Trevor Lawrence. At running back Ian is buying the Zack Moss late-round hype, but again doesn't see much to love about a certain second-year Jaguars running back. Wide receiver discussion revolves around Jaylen Waddle and Adam Thielen before Ian finishes off the podcast with notes on Anthony Firkser and Evan Engram.

Wilson, Lance, Mayfield (5:50) Zack Moss headlines undervalued RBs (7:35) James Robinson won't repeat his 2020 season (9:35) Valuable handcuffs and likely starters are the undervalued RBs (11:26) Veterans on committees, crowded backfield RBs are being overvalued (12:51) Jaylen Waddle is being underrated at WR (14:47) Adam Thielen is being valued too highly (16:34) Underrated WR2s and targets in high-passing offenses should be drafted higher (17:38) Top options on below average or crowded offenses should be concerning (19:40) Anthony Firkser has late-round value (21:09) Evan Engram has too much competition for targets (22:18) Underrated TEs include Alie-Cox, Higbee, Everett, Trautman, Kmet (24:04) Aging TEs, Pats crowded TE room included in prime fade targets (26:20)
