He is a positive for the team.  He played over half of the ST's snaps and will probably be a core ST's guy going forward.  If he can give you 4 years of that on the cheap, plus be your WR 4/5, then that's a good return on a 6th round pick.

Could he become more?  Yes.  Am I rooting for him to become more?  Yes.  Has he really shown any indication to this point that he will become more than that?  No.  And the odds are not in his favor, either.  We've had two WR's drafted in the 4th or later become significant contributors to the offense this century.  Arguably three if you want to count Tate, who had a 500 yard year off of 80 targets for a bad and injury ridden WR corps, but he did basically nothing his other three years before leaving and washing out of the league entirely a year after leaving.  The odds on Day 3 picks becoming quality contributors are very long and we can't just just sit there and hope they beat the odds and develop into them
