Who do you recon bares the majority of the responsibility in developing WRs? Brady? Or is it our process as an organization in identifying legit NFL talent? The Steelers do it every year in late rounds to measure.
the Steelers don’t hit on late round receivers the way you suggest. Here’s their track record for the past 15 years. Brown is literally the only late round hit. And they’ve whiffed on more than they’ve hit on in the early rounds. They’re living off the reputation of those 3 drafts 10 years ago when they got Sanders, Wallace, Brown and Holmes
Dionte Johnson - 3rd round, nothing special yet
James Washington - 2nd round, nothing special yet
Juju Smith Schuster - 2nd round, superstar
Demarcus Ayers - 6th round, flop
Sammie Coates - 3rd round, flop
Dri Archer - 3rd round, flop
Martavis Bryant - 4th round, flop due to off field
Markus Wheaton - 3rd round, flop
Justin Brown, 6th round, flop
Toney Clemons - 7th round, flop
Emmanuel Sanders - 3rd round, great
Anotnio Brown - 6th round, great
Mike Wallace - 3rd round, good
Limas Sweed - 2nd round, flop
Dallas Baker - 7th round, flop
Santonio Holmes - 1st round, great
Willie Reid - 3rd round, flop
Fred Gibson, 4th round, flop
