I thought this deserved its own thread. Last year SK seemed to decide if he drafted a handful of receivers surely he’d hit on one. So far his strategy has not been proved correct. In fairness many receivers don’t blossom until year 2. That said, many don’t blossom at all. For Butler 2020 is basically year one and I’m not hearing rave reviews on his practices. As a round 2 pick, Isabella has to be labeled a disappointment, but even if he steps forward, how far can he be expected to move. Johnson seemed to start fast but hit a wall too quickly. Then there’s second year WR Kirk. He proves WR don’t always leap forward in year 2. Any hope of him being a number 1, seems to have vanished. Fitz is back, which is great news, but he’s clearly no longer a game breaker.
So where does that leave KK’s offense. Sure there’s s couple of veteran speed options but a power passing game needs a power receiver. Many see Jeudy as the top receiver. He’s certainly the more traditional number one in a standard offense. He runs great routes and that means separation. Sadly that separation typically comes somewhat downfield. A fast paced offense needs a receiver accustomed to making adjustments to that style. Rapport between a QB & WR can take a couple of years to build. The Cards can buy it with a draft pick.
