I don't know about that, honestly.

Last year this board when nuts over Terrace Marshall Jr. with a whole bunch of "we're going to have to get him in the 1st" chatter. The two are very similar players. Both are around 6'2"-6'3" 200 pounds, fast, good catch radius, lack some route polish, etc. Where'd Marshall go? 59th overall. I would not assume he's going to go as high as people think.

There's alot of talent on the board between 30 and 50, including some really good safeties and corners that probably eat up 10 of those 20 picks. Then you have a few good edge rushers and offensive lineman sitting out there too. You probably need to factor in Dotson, Moore, and Watson at WR in that range as well.

There's a good chance he's there at 50. I don't think you have to get him at 30. If you're nervous, maybe move up a handful of spots into the 40's. Otherwise, there are other options.

Really good point. I hope you're right he has become one of my favorite WRs.

Also, a lot of the teams that will want a stud WR will have already taken one in the first half of the first round. Unlikely they'd double up, as they by definition are talent poor teams.

Exactly. I had him avail @ 50 in my "mock" yesterday for these exact reasons.

It has been extremely “rare”, when he has not been available at 50, in all my mock drafts of late. He’s normally the first WR I’ve selected, at that time.
