A lot of hit and miss with WR's in 1st round.

In the last ten years of the 43 WR from 1st round only 2 had 1000 yard seasons as rookies.

26 of that 43 never have had 1000 yard seasons.

good point goat, really a draftniks worthy thread

/1st Rd Draft pick success by position

WRs are some of the riskiest.

Want some morning blues? Review the Saints 1st Rd WR picks-

Ken Burrough #10 1970, good player but they traded him away after one year, 10yr career for the Oilers

Larry Burton #7 Purdue 1975, 44 career catches, out of the NFL in 5 years

Wes Chandler #3 Florida 1978, Could have been the Saints best WR ever. So whad they do? trade him after 3 years. In the Chargers Hall of Fame

Lindsay Scott #13 Georgia 1982, He vies for the worst 1st Rd pick in Saints history. 69 catches and he was out of the NFL in 4 years

Donte "Hamstring" Stallworth #13 202, Was decent when healthy. Word was that he was the anti-type of what Payton was looking for in players. That might be why he was 5 teams in 6 years after leaving NOLA.
