Dobbins and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are among those considered instant-impact players by scouts, and all four could be available on Day 2 of the draft. The same dynamic, by the way, is at play at the running back spot. Metcalf), and the economics of going with a rookie over a vet, would you be climbing over other teams to give Anderson or Sanders eight figures per?
With starting-level players potentially available through the first three rounds, the recent success of second-round receivers (Michael Thomas, Juju Smith-Schuster, D.J. But also depressing the market, as our exec said, is a historically strong receiver class coming in the April draft.
