First Round Receivers
The Bills give the media a draft preview release full on interesting stats and draft tidbits. This one jumped out at me because it applies the Bills needs and focus for this year's first round.
Percentage of starting wide receivers drafted in the 1st round: 24.2%
Percentage of starting wide receivers drafted in the 2nd round: 27.2%
This illustrates how risky it is taking a receiver in the first round. So many of them don't pan out, and the ones that do often take a few years to develop. Scouts will tell that next to quarterback, receiver is the hardest postion for a college player to learn.
While these stats aren't enough to prevent the Bills from taking a receiver with the 11th pick, it could make them think hard about waiting until the second round. Because of all his recent controversy, if Malcolm Kelly drops into the second roun, I'd take him in a second.
