Are NFL teams better off waiting until the second round to draft a wide receiver these days?
According to NFL Research (via Ian Rapoport), the numbers suggest that may be the case. Rapoport reports that over the past 10 years, wide receivers who were taken in the second round were more likely to make the Pro Bowl than receivers taken in the first round.
Of course, the Las Vegas Raiders hope they buck that trend with 2020 first-round pick Henry Ruggs III. He was the No. 12 overall pick and the first receiver taken in the draft.
