And a lot of what he did from the slot, 2018 and 2019, was not that impressive. For a lot of his production, you could have subbed in a replacement level SEC receiver and gotten the job done just the same. It isn't that hard to find spots in zones out of the slot against off coverage. It just isn't.The problem is not talent. He's clearly gifted. The problem is that you have to project a lot with him, after he went virtually all of 2019 without dealing with press, without having to manage the sideline, and without having to deal with the other team's top corners. There's a real chance that you take this kid and find out that he's only really productive when you cater to him the way LSU did, and that would be a real problem.That's not uncommon with college receivers, so if Green Bay looks at him and says we are confident we can project him to all the things we would want him to do, great! Pick him at #30, if he's there.But if they give up their 2nd round pick to move up in the draft to take a wide receiver who requires projection like that in this wide receiver class, that's just mismanagement of resources. I just have to call it what it is. Here is Greg Cosell's take, and I think it sums it up:Cosell noted that 90% of his receptions came out of the slot, and much of it against zone coverage looks.</blockquote>
