Stevie Johnson is a great pick at this point in the draft, and Aaron Watson found himself yet another great wide receiver. Johnson enters a San Diego offense that has passed the ball the fourth most out of all teams over the past three years. Jason Schandl has been touting all summer that Stevie Johnson isn't being drafted highly enough, and it's time you listened.
In the wake of a recent Kelvin Benjamin injury, JZ Mazlish's pick of Devin Funchess may pan out earlier than expected. The Panthers continue to go toe-to-toe with the Buccaneers for the tallest group receivers as they want to provide Cam Newton three massive targets in Kelvin Benjamin, Funchess, and Greg Olsen. Funchess enters the league a little raw -- similar to Kelvin Benjamin last year -- but may be forced to step up early out of necessity.
The majority of the rest of this round is filled with handcuff-types who will need a starter to go down in order to see significant playing time. I liked Dan Pizzuta snagging Philip Rivers at this point as Rivers continues to be underrated (again).
