I'm trying to wrap my mind around Aiyuk coming in at 19.  Aiyuk was hot garbage before he got hurt.  Maybe he'll be back to his previous self after coming back from a big injury.

There is an argument there, but then you realize that Chase has had the same quarterback throwing to him for a very long time. Both in his college and NFL career. That level of comfort and familiarity is unseen in the NFL in a very long time.Jefferson had… Kirk cousins and Sam Darnold. Not quite the same…

There are 9 teams with Super Bowl odds of +1900 or less. In parenthesis, the number of wide receivers inside of PFF’s top 32:

 

Eagles (2)

Ravens (1)

Bills (0)

Chiefs (1)

Lions (2)

Rams (2)

Commanders (2)

Packers (0)

Bengals (2)


I don’t know if this tells much. It is a little wild though that more than 1/2 of the top 9 teams have multiple WRs in the top 32 and at least 1 in the top 10. The Eagles with 1 & 7, Lions with 4 & 32, Rams with 5 & 16, Commanders with 10 & 30, and the Bengals with 3 & 14.

 

It is also wild that Ohio State has 5 guys in the top 32 (6 if you count Jameson Williams) and LSU has 4 of the top 15. 

 

One thing to note is QB contracts.

 

Sure some guys got paid like Hurts, but they aren't in the meat of their deals yet so they can pay everybody. Then on the other end you have the Bengals who paid Burrow and paid their WR' and they're all messed up because of it.

 

Buffalo, KC,and Baltimore have a much greater balancing act.

 

Stafford and the Rams are a bit of an outlier.

 

All that said, McBeane have just missed too many times with pass catchers in the draft. And their insurance on devoting resources to pass catching backs that they don't throw the ball to is maddening. Honorable mention to TE's as well.

Tier 1 is EXACTLY what I said the other day. Jefferson, Chase, Brown in some order.... then a BIG gap.


I mean to be fair, I’m pretty sure that’s everyone’s tier 1…and if it isn’t they probably shouldn’t be ranking WRs.

I argued for #22 and #23 in their draft years. But you're not allowed to worry about WR. Beane will yell at you, and other folks will act like thinking the WR room is subpar equates to not recognizing the defense needed a major upgrade. Apparently 13 of the 91 players currently signed are WRs. Most of them are long shot lottery tickets. One supposes the numbers, however, implicitly indicate there is some awareness of deficiency, despite the propaganda otherwise.

 

 

Nah, you're allowed to worry about it. Sensible people worry about everything on the team outside of QB1.

 

It's the "the sky is falling" panic because we don't have a #1 that doesn't make sense.

 

I'm not sure that 13 WRs implies an awareness of deficiency. But if it does, it's probably a deficiency at #4 and #5 and #6. Nobody thinks the last 6 or 7 of those WRs are going to become #1s.
