That seems to be what most JR critics hold against him. If he's picked in Rd 1 (especially Top 10), he needs to be an elite WR1.
Regardless, for a guy with as much speed and quickness as Ross, 64 catches could easily be 800 yards. Add 7+ TDs to that and that's a very, very good WR2.

As a 3rd WR, with those numbers, he would be in elite company. 

Of the top 10 passing offenses, by average passing yards per game, only 2 other guys were at those numbers. 
Ridley of the Falcons had 64 for 821 yds.
Goodwin of the Bucs had 59 for 842 yds.

The average of the 3rd WR out of the top 10 passing offenses was 39 for 473 yards. That's with the high of Ridley and a low of Fowler of the Giants with 16 for 199 (which drags the numbers down). 

Regardless of his draft position, he's clearly the #3 right now behind Green and Boyd, so if he gets somewhere between the elite and the average, say 50 for 525--which keeps him at last years 10.0ypc--that's 3 for 32 yds per game. Not...great...

At 50 for 13ypc, that puts him at 650 yards. More in line for what you would want for a #3 WR. For context, Tyreek Hill is the guy everyone hopes he emulates. Hill averaged 17 yards per catch last year. 

If you take out Fowler's really low numbers that changes the average to 42 for 503, 12ypc, so...if Ross goes 50 for 650 yds and throws in another 5-7 TDs, would that be considered a success?

Discuss!!
