Pittman is a possession receiver, Campbell is true wideout but ceiling is as a #2 type guy. Pierce needs another year to get a feel for what he can do. OL and pass rush are bigger needs but I wouldn’t necessarily pass on someone who can be a true #1 wideout assuming that is true for Jr.
Anquan Boldin is a prime example. Ran a 4.7 40 and fell to the 2nd round. Ended up playing 14 seasons, winning a Super Bowl, and making 3 pro bowls

One of the best wide receivers of the 2000’s.
