appreciate it, it was the one pick i was swinging at, but its my belief that he's the 5th be receiver in this draft and a perfect fit for our scheme and burrow.  Ive done a lot of analytical data on this receiver class and I think he's going to hit big.  First he's an A+ athlete, its not just his straight line speed, but his ability to burst out of his cuts.  Second he has some of the most impressive yards per route run even on a team where Brock Bowers was the primary target.  Third his production is a bit skewed because the system didn't favor him and the quarterback is no where near the quality of someone like joe burrow.  When Burrow was his best is when he had Justin Jefferson across from Chase and in crossing routes.  Ladd may be the best pure route runner in this class and he will give you a lot of What Justin Jefferson brought to that LSU championship team. 

Lastly I just want to say that at 25 I predicted 3 main targets were available at WR for 25, Ladd, Adonai Mitchell, and Xavier Worthy.  Im personally out on worthy because what he brings isn't something we need or could utilize on this team.  So it came down to Adonai and Ladd for me, I'm fine with either pick, but personally I think Ladd is a better scheme fit for the team, Adonai is similar to Tee Higgins, Which I think I can get 80% of that production with Andrei.
