I was noting current production of the rookie in relation to Sharpe and not perception and expectations of the draft
Why are we comparing receiving stats from players from 20 years ago? The game is night and day different here in 2022.
He tops this list….

He still can't touch Darrell Daniels

So strange how almost every reply basically answers your question with “nothing, he’s a rookie” and “he’s a 2nd round talent, but we had other needs so don’t know why WE drafted him in the 2nd round”. And yet, despite agreeing with each other, people somehow argue…
No, what we are saying, at least me, that all time greats like Sharpe had lesser production, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that though maybe not elite, he becomes a good player regardless of his draft position. Personally, I never entertained a notion of him being a #3 WR and also think he has blocked well for a rookie but not stating he was great. I saw the comparison between Sharpe or Heap on the extreme side of the spectrum as ample proof not to dump on the guy so early. This forum has a way of seldom finding middle ground between suck and shine lol
I would not have taken a TE in round 2. That said, I‘ve seen enough to believe McBride is going to be an excellent TE. His blocking has surprised me. He‘s much better than Ertz already. As to his receiving skills Murray’s history of having to build trust before targeting receivers is becoming apparent. That‘s why the Cards acquired 2 of his former targets. McBride will be as good as Murray lets him be. It’s also important to note Kingsbury’s offense is not TE oriented, like the Pats, for example. Being the second TE in his offense is not a showcase. McBride is only now getting a chance.
Even in today’s pass heavy offense’s Heaps average would have ranked him 11th. Only time will really settle this, but I think McBride will prove to be a good receiver.
This 100%… the only thing to question at this point is why take a TE when there were more important needs elsewhere? And why take a TE when the system really didn’t cater to traditional TE passing patterns?
So a career basically like Kiem wanted - Austin Hooper!
...we hope.
Good catch Russ—you’re right. I suppose my desire to see that we’re tops in something had me hoping SK had made the worst selection in the draft.
Right. I love how definitively Brit says that as we’ve seen very little to convince us of that fact. Johnny McWilliams and nicked glass were also highly thought when we selected them in the second round.
Lol
