Just look at the WRs other teams took in the first two rounds that year. Simpson had more career receptions (150) than 2 of the 5 WRs drafted before him and 5 of the 9 other WRs taken in the second round with him. He was actually a decent pick from that WR class.
Career receptions are a terrible indication of if he was a good pick. What did he do for the Bengals, the team that actually picked him? He was a 2nd round pick who got 71 receptions for the Bengals. That's bad. Nobody is going to celebrate a draft pick based off what he did for another team. Also, just because it wasn't quite as terrible of a pick as some other picks doesn't make it not-terrible.
They picked him 3 picks before DeSean Jackson and he was a healthy scratch for most of his first 3 years. Can't polish that turd.
