I have felt the same way about his stance on his WR rankings and the running back position. He is dead on.
I've seen you advocating Hyatt who I also like. His definition of a WR1 sounds like Hyatt's draft profile

Overview
Long, slender wideout with deep speed that could force defensive coordinators to alter coverage considerations. Hyatt’s gliding gait disguises explosive acceleration that can lead to easy separation on deep throws. However, he does display inconsistency on contested catches comes. Hyatt is ordinary getting in and out of intermediate breaks and might be best with a limited route tree full of slants, crossers and a series of field-stretching patterns. Hyatt is an instantly credible WR2 with the ability to make a huge impact, but production could be erratic due to the limitations of his game.
Strengths
  • Top-end speed creates tension for defensive coordinators.
  • Run game will see lighter boxes out of defense’s respect for his explosiveness.
  • Tears into cushions and rockets past off-man coverage.
  • Maintains spacing from physical coverage getting into the route.
  • Runs focused vertical routes at crisp angles.
  • Glides into acceleration mode at route stems to separate.
  • Gets pitch-and-catch opportunities underneath against off-man.
  • Finished second in FBS with 15 receiving touchdowns.
  • Willing and effective as a perimeter blocker.

Michael Lombardi never waivers and has the same answers. The man is very steadfast in his beliefs and has the rings to prove his knowledge. This is a fact.

Hyatt isnt a 1. He's a really nice 2... much like Devonte Smith is. Nuthin wrong with that.

If he can loosen up defenses and back safeties off the designation doesn't matter to me. having a mismatch player opponents have to scheme for is what every team wants.
