No prospect screams "WR1" to me after cursory glance

I'm sorry, but you should be kicked in the dick for comparing Funchess to Julio Jones. And I'm a Funchess guy.

The brutal truth right now if you are taking off the homer shades is, the difference between WR's like KB/Funchess and Julio is, Jones maximizes his size advantage on a consistent basis and doesn't play small. He bullies defenders across the board on the regular while Funchess and KB have been shut down by CB's barely 6 foot half the time. The truth isn't pretty, but it's the truth nonetheless. We need a #1.

By freefua claim it's a fair comparison. Hey like I said, Julio is who everyone wants. Bot funfun.

That is also an outlier and not the norm, in fairness.

True, but there have been some good ones in the second here lately,  Allan Robinson (61st), Michael Thomas (47), and JuJu (62).

I would prefer to draft one in the second or third before reaching for one in the 1st or giving up a lot of assets to trade up.

Playmaker.

Now stop wasting my time, loser.

One play. According to his stats he missed the other 17 of 18 red zone targets sent his way,...

its easy to pick out one highlight,.. but it’s harder to accept the truth.

julio is a good number 3, but he’s not clutch. He drops a lot of game winning balls and when games are on the line.

what is AJ Greens percentage of catches in the red zone comparatively? 

We need clutch players, not chokers.

116 receptions and all he had was 987 yards? Under 9 yards per reception? That’s RB type production. He has the lowest yards per catch of any WR or TE in the top 100 reception seasons. Only a 30 year old Witten and a 33 year old Fitz had under 10 yards per catch and they still had Landry beat. 

Didn’t we want speed and field stretching? Someone who gets targets from CMC and Olsen isn’t really what we need. We need more talent at the outside spot IMHO. We saw a couple flashes from Byrd and a tiny flash from Samuel but I think we need another WR as well. 

I think WOW favorite player is Jarvis Landry.

Cleary we can't afford him, and he doesn't fit this offense. We drafted Samuel to play the slot. Bringing in Landry would be a wasted pick on Samuel.

I think everybody knows we need a vertical threat for this offense. Landry is not a vertical threat at all.
