Rookie WRs
An article from a suburban Chicago newspaper about how rookie WRs fare. The article is conventional wisdom, but it does assemble the rookie and career stats of the top ten WRs taken in each of the last 4 drafts, which is interesting. Since a WR is so dependent on how much time the OL gives the QB and the QB's ability to get them the ball, the stats don't necessarily mean that much. I guess --- more than the statistics --- the bottom line in evaluating a receiver is their ability to get open and what they do when the ball comes sailing their way.

I would hope to God that the Bills don’t have any plans to draft a WR before the sixth round, and I’m fairly confident they won’t go there at all

Just goes to prove that you have just as many hgits as busts
although I take issue with them calling anyone in their rookie or sophemoore years hits or busts because a WR usually takes 3 years to achieve full potential. Heck even Chad Ocho Cinco had a horrible rookie season. So for them to call Hardy (and a lot of other WR’S) busts is a little pre-mature.

so calling Hardy a flop is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY premature
