I tend to think that picking from 24-32 that the receivers arent much better than what you can get 10-30 picks later. Jordy Nelson Davante and Jennings are perfect examples. Jennings was the 4th receiver taken and easily the best of that class. Oh and by trading down the Packers picked up Jason Spitz as well, who turned into a good center for us. Patriots who traded up got Chad Jackson who was out of the league in 4 years.Part of the problem with scouting receivers is that they frankly do not come from equal opportunities, there's a world of difference between playing with a legit NFL prospect at quarterback and playing with whatever guys like Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson were playing with in College. Makes you wonder when, without hindsight, you are trying to evaluate players like Tee Huggins and Justin Jefferson versus receivers later in the draft. Were they that much better or did they benefit from playing with top QB prospects and future top 5 NFL draft picks?BTW this is one reason that the drafsperts on here get angry with say TT in the past or Gute. They look at the players they love during the season while the better GMs tend to put more stock in the post season all star games and practices. How does a receiver from say Iowa State look when he's got someone like Joe Burrow throwing him the ball?</blockquote>
