[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 770043, member: 12283"] This ******** is where you rub people wrong and the debate escalates way past where it needs to. Just because someone doesn't like the same prospect that you do, you assign motives to them... like wanting to build "the smallest team in the NFL" or a "Mickey Mouse Roster." What even is that? You cram Sutton down everyone's throats, just like Harris last year, you say trash like this, and then you act like a martyr that everyone argues with you about it. I know, I know-- you "don't care" if people are annoyed or whatever. But see, really you do. That's why you complain about how people respond to you. Sutton is not my WR1 in this class, but I don't think it's crazy if he's someone else's. He's not a bad prospect at all, he's just a raw WR who happens to be bad, for the moment, at something that I consider to be very critical in our offense (separation). To a degree, the top of this WR class is more about what flavor you prefer-- Sutton is big, raw, and athletic; Ridley is fast and refined in the nuances of the positon; Moore is explosive and dangerous with the ball in his hands; etc. Sutton is exceptionally athletic. I'm not ignoring his athleticism-- I think it's valuable, but at the WR position taking raw, athletic prospects in the first round can often backfire (e.g. Josh Doctson, Corey Coleman, Kevin White, DeVante Parker, Breshad Perriman, Phillip Dorsett, etc). And Sutton is raw-- no one expected him to have that combine because he very rarely demonstrated that type of quickness or explosive COD on tape. He very likely would be getting more attention had he played at Alabama-- that's how level of competition works.

Considering what Mike Hughes did to him this last year, there's a real question about what would have happened to his production had he faced future NFL corners more regularly. The Davante Adams comp is not a bad one. Adams went in the 2nd round and developed his skills.
