Please don’t forget that …
…Julius jones would have ended up in the top 15 with 16.23 points per game. If you add out the two games he left injured, we have exactly 19 points per game. Julio Jones is still one Top receiver when he’s fit!
…Will Fuller Scored 17.7 points per game. If Fuller hadn’t been suspended, it probably would have been for him enough for the top 10. For 2021 it will definitely be interesting which team Will Fuller will land with.
…Kenny Golladay in his four injury-free games not a single bust would have. Three of the four games were good and he would be up with his 16.45 point average 13th place landed. Even if the 2020 season was disappointing, Golladay will be interesting again for 2021. It remains to be seen with which team he will play.
Conclusion
The wide receiver position is not constant compared to the RBs. This relates to both the performance within a season and the performance between different seasons. Only five the top 12 cons receivers were actually drafted in the top 12. Really satisfied you were only there with Adams and Hill. Often a large number of TDs decide whether a player ends up in the top 12. TDs are also on at the same time most difficult to predict as these fluctuate from season to season for each player.
From my point of view, the 2020 season shows that you can go to Rounds 3-6 finds many receivers that can land right at the front. Diggs, Ridley, Jefferson and Metcalf were receivers who were drafted outside of the top 15 and ended up in the top 7. Aside from Adams, there was no receiver that made a noticeable difference compared to Diggs.
I think the results of the 2020 season underscore a Robust RB strategy.
It’s going to be an exciting offseason and I’m already looking forward to the 2021 season. I hope this review could help you to classify the final results of 2020 and you could draw a few conclusions for the 2021 draft.
