Average Draft Position (ADP) can vary wildly from platform to platform. That's why we display multiple sources when presenting the Footballguys ADP.
On one site, you could be drafting against people who overvalue a player. On another site, that same player could be vastly undervalued.
Let's concentrate on the ADP from ESPN and find deep value when you draft on that platform. Your competitors will try to leave good players for you to draft. Let them.
The table below shows six players who are deep values along with their current Footballguys ranking, ESPN ADP, and the amount of value you gain when you select them.

ESPN Deep Sleeper: QB Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
Lawrence was highlighted in a past article looking for quarterback value. Since then, our rankers like him a little more (moving from the 129th player overall to No. 126). Lawrence's ESPN ADP has risen a bit (from 202 to 181), but he still screams value. He's basically a free backup quarterback with some upside. There's nothing wrong with that at all.
