Yeah I’m seeing way too much “rAvEnS fIrSt RoUnD wR bUsT” and “let’s see it on the field before we talk about him” but like... you’re comparing rashod Bateman to fucking breshad perriman. Name one person that didn’t have to talk themselves into liking the perriman pick, analysts and all, Bateman on the other hand was projected top 20 until he had a fucked up covid season, and even in that season he greatly improved positional flexibility and still put out a shortened seasons worth of clear first round tape.
Taylor, Clayton, perriman, Hollywood, Bateman, two of those guys were fringe first rounders at best, one was a clear day 2 guy, and the latter 2 were obvious first rounders with nfl ability on tape across multiple seasons. These first round WRs are in a whole different realm from all the others we took.
