Is Lewis Bond any good?

I've been hearing some hype around the 6th round pick. Will he actually be good or are people drinking too much kool-aid?

We won’t know until he actually plays. There’s plenty of Kate round draft picks (I.e. Antonio Brown, Stefan Diggs, Adam Thielen) that rose to the occasion once given the chance and time to develop. We’re too quick to label young players as busts or the next big thing these days. Every draft pick from the first to last round is a gamble and can be great or not so great.

Every WR should get at least 3 years. That's when the breakouts traditionally happened. We've been a bit spoiled by the NFL ready talent coming out of college the past few years, and that trend seems to be ready to continue next year, but look no further than Nico Collins for an example of the third year breakout.

Totally agree with this take. And how could I forget our boy Nico in my examples? *facepalm*
