4.01 Dallas Junglehawgs - WR Marquise Goodwin

In the real world: I don't know how many people's draft radars had Goodwin on them last September. He was the Longhorns' #3 receiver in each of the last two seasons, owing perhaps to his small stature (5'9", 177 lb.). But then in the Alamo Bowl, he had 132 yards and 2 TDs, and at the Combine, he had the fastest 40 time (4.27). Drafted by the Bills in Round 3; they didn't have much besides Stevie Johnson at WR going into the Draft, but also drafted Robert Woods and signed undrafted free agent Da'Rick Rogers. He may not amount to more than a slot receiver and kick returner, but hey, maybe he could be a poor man's Tavon Austin.
In the TUFF world: Dallas wasn't quite done drafting, evidently. They sent 25 TUFFs to Cleveland for this pick, then used it on Goodwin, who is simultaneously a very good value pick and a "homer" pick to boot (he even hails from Lubbock, TX, which is where Junglehawgs owner Mike Scott is from).
