Really?
I’ll bet you anything the history of 1st rounders is better than any other individual round. Prove me wrong.
Jerry Rice and Randy Moss. Arguably the two best WR’s of the modern era, if not of all-time. Both were first rounders.
7 of the top 10 all-time leaders in receiving yardage were 1st round picks.
6 of the 10 receivers with 100+ TD‘s in their career were 1st round picks.
You won’t find any other individual round as accomplished.
You’ll discover that to be true for pretty much ALL positions not involved with special teams.
The majority of the best players tend to get drafted earlier, rather than later. Funny how that works.
This ‘21 class is NOT and elite group at all... nowhere near as good as the ‘20 classScared money don't make none.
2021 is an elite WR group. 2020, 2014 (only bust was Benjamin), and 2011 are the only other years that match up at all with this class (2011 for the top 2 more than the depth).
It doesn't really make sense to compare bad WR classes, where teams draft WR's in the 1st based on need, to talented classes. You also have to consider the QB and OC for the team drafting the busts. Often, teams with bad passing games draft WR's in the 1st, hoping the WR will fix the problems. If the QB and OC sucks, and if the OL isn't good enough, there's only so much a WR can do.
Who are some better centers?On board with Smith at WR. Or Waddle.
As much as I like Leatherwood, ya gonna draft a guard with a 1st? Or kick Austin Jackson to the curb? If he somehow survives to the 2nd, yeah I would draft Alex.
There are better centers than Creed Humphrey. Too much love for him, imo.

My opinion of course
You want 2 slot guys in the 1st?Personally I would like to get either Allen Robinson or Golladay in free agency and draft Smith/waddle. I wouldnt hesitate to take Smith and Waddle in the first either if the free agency route doesnt work. Not only are they extremely talented but they have built in experience with Tua which makes it more intriguing.
Smith is outside.You want 2 slot guys in the 1st?
I think that Smith could play inside as well, but yes, he is currently a flanker.Smith is outside.
