Back on topic. Higgins will be elite if he's given the chance to be. Only Amari Cooper and Justin Jefferson had over 1000 yards their rookie seasons since 2005. Higgins had 903 or something and was really hitting his stride when Burrow went down. In fact he could've taken more of AJ's targets all season and I would've been happy. If Burrow didnt get crushed so often early, and eventually hurt, I think Higgins could've been more like a 1200 yard guy in his rookie year easy.
Edit: And I love Chase, but Higgins and Boyd are why I dont think we need a top 5 WR with so many questions marks on the OL. At least we have 2 WR's of that caliber already. Cant really say that for any other position right now.
Agreed on Mayfield. Problem for us is he is in our Division. Hope OBJ stays healthy to diva him up lol
The thing about WR is we need 3 good ones and we only have 2 that are not great at getting separation.
OL is deep in this Draft and we have 8 picks.
