Rookie wr's typically don't come out as very fantasy relevant their rookie year. Even good ones that go on to have great careers will only get like 700 yards. Even fewer have truly great seasons as rookies. Coming to mind are players like Mike Evans, Michael Thomas, and Julio Jones where they were at least able to break 1k yards. Even these best wr's of the last like 10-ish years I think we're only like wr2 types iirc of the top of my head, and these are more or less best case scenarios.
As an aside, Randy Moss is the only wr I know who came in as a true world beater his rookie year. He was probably the best wr in the league as a rookie. I know you don't have that expectation, but it's cool to think about how dominant he was.
To bottom line it, Lamb very well could be that kind talent, but his upside for where I've seen him go in drafts is probably a bad value.

Do you even Marques Colston?

Odell Beckham, Anquan Boldin and Kelvin Benjamin had good rookie years too. The difference in the names we've mentioned and Lamb is that those guys were one of the top options on the team (if not the #1 option). Lamb is the 4th or maybe even 5th option on his team.

This is pretty true. I usually only draft rookie receivers with expectation of maybe getting some WR3 or flex production. Have to be patient with them bc typically you are looking at an 2nd half of the year payoff as they get acclimated to the offense and build rapports with their qbs. Examples from last year: Deebo, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf. I can speak on Deebo and Brown specifically that paid off for teams in the playoffs last year.
