Notes;
In 2016 Beasely had the 3rd highest catch rates among wide receivers, was rated 3rd best slot receiver in NFL per PFF, and had the 3rd best "separation at target" at 3.48 on 74.1 percent of targets among slot wide receivers per Next Gen Stats.
(In other words, this is what we need to replace). Personally I don't think Hurns is a good option here as suggested by some. Our quarterback needs receivers who get open quickly, not just people. Think Emmanuel Sanders type.
According to this list, if we are going to replace Beasely looks like it either needs to be with picks round 1-3.... or undrafted lol but certainly not with picks round 4-7! (Apparently)
...unless your name is Switzer! Where ya at buddy?!?!
