Here is the thing that I have come to believe more and more with every passing year. EVERY year there will be a crop of 20 odd players who have the potential to become NFL level WR's. Every year! They throw the ball so much in the college game that WR's get a chance to be in more and more plays and develop their skills.
Think about it. Every year they find kids like Dixon out in the boonies. If he had those numbers and measurables and played for say, Kent State, he would have been a 2-4th round pick. If he had them at an SEC school, he'd have been a first rounder. And the funny thing is that EVERY team thinks they got a Dixon on their roster from the UDFA class.
It is clearly the most available position to find plentiful numbers of the raw talent you need to be an NFL WR. I know the WR position salaries have exploded just like the QB's and Edge guys, but I believe a recalculation is coming, simply because the numbers of athletically qualified WR's dictate it. Supply and demand at work. You will still pay a premium for the truly great players, but for the other 85-90% of group, there will always be guys out there to develop. Dixon has me more excited than ANY of the 6 guys we actually picked on day 3.
