DaVante Adams' rookie season: 38 catches, 446 yards receiving, 3 TD's.
Cooper Kupp's rookie season: 62 catches, 869 yards receiving, 5 TD's.
Chris Godwin's rookie season: 34 catches, 525 yards receiving, 1 TD.
And Tyreek's rookie season... he started one game, the Chiefs had the luxury of using him as a gadget-type player and he had 61 catches, 593 yards receiving, 6 TD's.
That's the immediate production from middle round WR's you listed who eventually became #1 WR's.
If the plan is to draft a WR in the middle rounds to replace Tyreek... are you okay with patiently waiting for them develop in year one and relying on the likes of JuJu and Hardman?
That would definitely be a significant step backwards on offense next year.
