Coming off a free-agency period in which over $1 billion spent, per the Comeback, franchises will be looking toward the NFL draft to fill the remaining holes on the roster.

One of the best bargains from the 2016 NFL draft class will be TCU wide receiver Josh Doctson. The 6’2”, 202-pounder dominated his collegiate competition and earned the title of top receiver.
