What happened: Pro Football Focus ranked the most valuable NFL draft picks selected outside the first round since 2016, placing Brock Purdy at the top of the list. The evaluation also slotted Trey Hendrickson at No. 10 and D.J. Reed at No. 20.

Why it matters: The designation adds to the resume of the same Brock Purdy who recently anchored PFF's All-Seventh-Round roster. The evaluation illustrates the on-field impact that late-round selections provide for their respective franchises.

What to watch: Purdy prepares for the upcoming 2026 season as the centerpiece of the San Francisco offense.
