Most likely to underwhelm: Ruggs - a handful of splash plays will likely be there, but he's not the complete receiver that his draft position suggests.
Most likely to exceed expectations: Jefferson - a more complete receiver who was drafted later in the round, with plenty of balls coming his way now that Diggs is in Buffalo.
Dark horse to meet expectations even though he was drafted to high: Damon Arnette - Okudah was largely avoided and Arnette saw a lot of balls come his way as a result. He's battle tested and scrappy, whereas I can see Okudah struggling a bit, at least initially.
Worst value FA signing: whomever ends up signing Cam Newton - he's just about done as a QB, but he probably won't sign on the cheap and when he is picked up there is guaranteed to be a hype train that never actually pulls into the station. (Honorable mention here for Andrus Peat, as much as I hate saying it
)
Best value FA signing: Chris Harris - he's only 30 and looks to have at least a couple of good seasons left. A two year deal for $17 at the CB position for a player of his caliber is a solid deal.
Dark horse solid FA signing: David Onyemata - I think he blows up this year, and $9M/season ends up looking like a bargain for an-upper tier player in his prime at a very important position. I expected to lose him this offseason.
