Just like most positions, your hit rate in the first round is higher than other rounds. Don't let one off-year scare you off. Dez was a first rounder, Harper was a first rounder, Irvin was a first rounder, Terry Glenn was a first rounder, Joey Galloway was a first rounder, Keyshawn Johnson was a first rounder. Other than Terrell Owens and Miles Austin, our best receivers for the last god knows how many years have been drafted high. If you want to talk the whole league, Calvin Johnson, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss were all first rounders. Yes there is the occasional Drew Pearsons but the hit rate is lower.There's no question that they need a deep threat -- or two. I just think a WR receiver in the first round needs to be a Randy Moss (minus the personality issues). Otherwise, some truly excellent WRs emerge in the second and third rounds.
I think Moore and Ridley are clearly better than the rest by a fair piece. Is it possible, even likely, someone from the field will end up being better than those two? Probably. However, which one is it going to be?
