I've brought this up before, and some of you made excellent points as to why a rookie WR may struggle in the NFL. Something that I just considered was the fact that often, a team who is taking a WR in the top 10 or top 15 usually doesn't have a solid #1 on their team already. They are expected to come in and turn around a fledgling offense... usually that is starting a young, unproven QB as well.
Buffalo may be a little different. We do have a young QB, but in his second year, I expect him to get much better. More importantly, this "stud" rookie WR does not have to be the #1 guy. Few teams in the NFL have 2 great CB's (Denver being the exception), so being a #2 on this team should ease... and even help a rookie WR into catching 50+ balls.
Just a thought.
