And there are other receivers that seem to be in their final form, like Harrison Jr. and Nabers. The difference is, their final form is already enough to make an immediate difference for their teams in the NFL.
McConkey was a very, very good college receiver. He has speed. He runs good routes. But, there is a reason he is projected to be a second round pick. If he didn't go to Georgia, and have the Nattys, he might be a 3rd round pick.

That doesn't bother me. You get a good player at WR. That's not nothing.
My issue with McConk is his value completely depends on situation.
Lots of NFL scouts love this type of player but not every NFL team actually uses them.
So he could go somewhere and just be good and not get volume and no one will know who he is.
Or he could be a better Amon Ra in a Ben Johnson offense.
I would personally take him and use him but that's my explanation.
Look at Jeudy in Denver. Great route runner but never got to be focal and he was a better prospect than McConk.
