In 2022 Boyd had two 100+ yard games including a 155 yard game. He's not a scrub, his talent is there, he's just behind Chase and Higgins in the pecking order. Same way that Burton will be.
Even if Burton's talent is ahead of where he was drafted, lets look at 2nd round picks then. Of the 16 2nd round pick WRs drafted over the last 3 years only 6 of them reached 500 yards their rookie year. If we moved that up to just 600 yards (which still wouldn't be an upgrade over Boyd) that number drops to 4 out of 16 with one of those 4 at 611 yards.
The odds are Burton in his rookie year will not be an upgrade over Boyd.
He will be more of a big play guy. No way is he as consistent or savvy.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
