The pundits are wrong more than they are right.
Looking at how the 2017 draft played out, there were several teams that had Mahomes as a high 1st rounder. The pundits were guessing that he was a 2nd or 3rd rounder, NFL teams obviously saw things they didn't.
The same could be true of Richardson as well, only in the opposite. Everybody is rating him high but for all we know, the NFL doesn't view him that way. I mean, look at Malik Willis, for example.
