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.
People said the same thing about Mario Alford, too. I don't think you really want to get into a comparison of Day 3 undersized WR busts vs success stories.
If he's a pro ready weapon, why Is he being evaluated as a Day 3 pick? Because he doesn't run a full route tree, either. How can you predict he's going to be able to move outside if he can't run a full route tree, yet? Even in bunch formations and empty sets, there are still outside WR's. Hoping a Day 3 pick can change roles and be immediately productive is not a formula for success.
