Man, i hope this kid is as good as everyone thinks he is. ><

Me too... (not the hashtag version)

It seems WR's can miss as a high draft pick far more than they hit.

There have been 77 wide receivers taken in the first round of the draft this century. The most taken in any year was seven in 2004. Six times there have been six or more wide receivers taken in the first round, but over the past decade, the number of first-round wideouts has been consistently lower than six. (pre 2020 draft)

If you use first-team All Pro selections, then only nine of the 77 first-round picks have qualified and only eight of those were as wide receivers (Corderelle Patterson made first team All Pro as a punt/kickoff returner). If you use first team Pro Bowl selections, then 21 of these first-round wide receivers have done that.

19 of the 77 wide receivers taken in the first round this century have or had fewer than 100 career receptions in the NFL.

No receiver taken in the first round since Amari Cooper in 2015 has made the Pro Bowl.



OK done being pessimistic... but those numbers don't bode well.
