They stated that outside of about the 8-10 top receivers, teams are realizing the drafts are so deep in the WR position they can get quality receivers in 2-4 rounds. So, beyond the few "elite" receivers, the rest are being devalued as they are easily replaced, just like running backs.
Idk… for every hit.. you have fails.

That’s 30 picks in a 3 year period, drafted in the first 3 rounds that haven’t hit.
On the flip side, there have been 13 wide receivers (round 1-3) in that same timeframe that have been contributors to the success of their team.
That’s less than a 33% hit rate on 1st-3rd Receivers, over a 3 year period. I didnt do 2022 as these guys need their 3rd year… like a Nico Collin’s who, if we did this last year, he wouldn’t have made it.
