Winner No. 4: Mecole Hardman

Even avoiding talk about Tyreek Hill’s situation, Hardman was a winner in this draft. Most draft analysts thought he would be a third or fourth-round pick. Instead, a team traded up to draft him in the second round. The fact that such draft capital was spent on him makes him a huge winner in and of itself.

However, it wasn’t just any team that drafted him; it was the Kansas City Chiefs, with the best young quarterback in the game in Patrick Mahomes and one of the best offensive minds in the league in Andy Reid. Reid will find creative ways to use Hardman to get him involved, and his speed will come into play with Mahomes at quarterback.

Hardman may never be as good as Hill, but he will be fantasy relevant right out of the gate, and has the potential to become an elite fantasy receiver due to his landing spot.
