Look at recent Bama WR's in the NFL and not only are they the best in CFB, they're the best in the NFL.
Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, and Jerry Jeudy come to mind.
He's not EVER going to have that kind of separation in the NFL, not all over the field. We've seen dozens of QB's come and go in this league that came from similar CFB backgrounds that simply couldn't make the adjustment.

Oh trust me I'm aware of what Bama does and is kinda my point. He's having to adjust to guys who aren't superstars; his OL, RB, and receivers were top-tier at Bama. No matter how talented a QB is, there's going to be a learning curve after playing with the best to now playing with guys still trying to figure it out.
I don't think he needs that kind of receiver all over the field, just someone that can run good enough routes so he doesn't have to throw a jump ball after every 4 passes or so and an OC from the 21st century. He'll eventually get it but people want to see results now with Burrow and Herbert excelling.
