Pitch and catch: Round 2 of NFL draft heavy on receivers (note CV masks and social distancing)
|
[AP] Pitch and catch.
While only one quarterback, Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts, was taken on the second day of the NFL draft Friday, the guys who haul in passes were everywhere.
Starting with the top two selections on Day 2 — Clemson’s Tee Higgins to Cincinnati and Southern California’s Michael Pittman to Indianapolis — seven wideouts were drafted in the second round. Add that to the six who went in the opening session, and it set an NFL record through two rounds.
Three more receivers were selected in the third round — were teams running out of prospects?
"It doesn’t matter who your quarterback is, you want him to have as many weapons as possible," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. "A lot of great offenses have those weapons at their disposal."
Yep, the NFL these days is built on passing offenses. This draft is loaded with outstanding pass catchers. Many teams had both Higgins and Pittman rated as top-32 talent.
So Cincinnati held firm atop the second round by grabbing Higgins to catch Joe Burrow’s passes. The pair worked out together heading toward the draft.
