I think he's a good overall prospect. Problem is, he's primarily been a slot WR in college, so he's not a good option for a team that's paying it's slot WR $11 mil a year and desperately needs an outside receiver, which he doesn't project to. You can use him outside some, but he's not the full time outside WR we need.
People said the exact same thing about Antonio Brown.
Undersized or not, I watched every Clemson game and the kid is a Pro-ready weapon.
They used him in the slot, but that doesn't mean he has to stay there, plus with the way the team lines up anymore with the bunch formation and the empty sets, it really isn't about slot or x or y, it's about a guy that can just get open and make plays and in that aspect, Rodgers can absolutely do it and wouldn't force us to waste an early round pick on a Chase or Pitts.
