This, I 100% agree with. I think all of them outside of JSN are truly fringe talents but so too are a lot of the rest of the positions outside the top 18 players or so. That doesn't mean they won't get selected in the 1st round, it just means there's as good a chance they drop out of the round as there is that they get picked in it, and the same for other positions. I think there are more questions with much of the ER and DL talent than the WR talent in that range plus the league has placed more and more of a premium value on WRs over the past several years. These guys will most likely get snapped up earlier than they would have 10 years ago.
I really struggled to put your guy Flowers in round 1, for example, but I think he's a better player at his position than guys like Nolan Smith, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Ade Abedawore, Keion White, Mazi Smith, Will McDonald, and so on are at their positions. Then you also have the factor of team need versus that BPA and it just makes more sense.
