You don't have to be a former receiver to appreciate the talent at that position in this draft.
A lot of people have talked about it. This month's draft might be the best in history as far as wide receivers are concerned. Will people remember the receivers of the Class of 2004 like they remember the quarterbacks from the Class of 1983?
It might. But don't forget that the draft recently has not been kind to a lot of first-round picks. It will take a number of years before we realize if this class will be memorable, but on paper, it looks like the best class in at least the last 20 years.
Looking at the receivers in this draft, the third or fourth receiver taken is more likely to have a bigger immediate impact than the first or second. That's simply a function of going to a better team.
