His draft status is not the end all, be all of what kind of player he will turn out to be.  However, the success rate on 6th and 7th round picks is a lot worse than it is for 1st and 2nd rounders.  He would not have been drafted so late unless he had significant physical limitations and/or needed a lot of work on his technique.  His scouting reports help us determine his weak points, and whether they are things that he can reasonably be expected to improve through hard work and experience or if they are issues that he will always have and has to work around..

I agree with everything you said. But, there are way too many cases of late round picks or players undrafted that not only progressed, they became stars.

I never eve started this thread to say Core was going be a star WR, but he has an opportunity if he works at his craft harder than those early round picks work. He may have a hug chip on his shoulder and like the James Harrison's of the NFL do indeed get better with age.

My point though I get the lower expectations, but I don't get writing him off after 1 rookie year as some are doing already.
