Yes my previous post was serious. Tee Higgins has been a franchise changer as a second round pick. If you can have above average play and stabalize a position for 5 years, then that allows you to focus on other areas.

Let’s not pretend that 4 years into his career that we thought whit was all that different than Higgins. Both above average and helped solidify a spot. Time will tell as to the balance of careers, but you don’t find many wide receivers (a few to a handful out of dozens drafted) better than tee in most drafts.

All I did was merely respond to Brownshoes on who gets the nod at better drafting - Marvin or Zac. For whatever reason you got hung up on the wording when I was literally pointing to Tee as a very good draft pick for Zac. But FOR ME Marvin gets the edge. You want to say we didn’t know Whit was special the first 4 years (I disagree but wtv) ok well we DID know Geno was truly elite within 4 years. So again, for me, Marvin’s best non-top 5 picks >>> Zac’s best non-top 5 picks. So far.

If you think Zac has been the better drafter - cool. I hope you turn out to be right.
