KB not a true #1 WR

I've seen several Huddle posters make this statement. I can't begin to fathom the rationale for those who hold this view? What more could people expect from a WRs first season? His 1st year stats were amazing considering that he didnt have the luxury of a competent #2 to take away the tight coverage schemes he faced. He just needs to clean up the drops.

I don't want to disagree with you because I do believe he is a #1 WR, but #1 WR's do not get coverage scheme taken away from them because of a WR2. They get that coverage no matter what.

Some huddlers want a team of 53 1st team all-pros. If you question their thoughts, they get upset. They call you names, insult your IQ, and claim you enjoy being a average team. People live in some funny bubbles, mannnnn.

The defense would not have the luxury of rolling extra DBs to one side or doubling WR1 at will if there was a potent #2 that could and would make them pay for it.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
