One of the frustrating aspects of being a fan of the NFL Draft is that popular analysis is fixated on the draft’s first round. The first round is significant, for obvious reasons, but prospects drafted in rounds two through seven make up the bulk of a team’s draft class and, ultimately, determine if that class was wise or a complete bust. In the hopes of shedding a bit of necessary light on some those lower-round prospects, I wanted to talk about those players who can fill similar niches to some of the more hyped prospects.
Both players fulfilled the same roles on their team: the designated deep threat.
