As the NFL Draft approaches, the focus often falls on first-rounders. However, history shows that gems can be found in later rounds, as exemplified by Tyreek Hill and Antonio Brown. In a podcast discussion, Hill and Brown debated the merits of Michael Thomas, with Hill acknowledging Thomas’s ability while Brown insisted on Hill’s superiority. Hill emphasized his status as the league’s highest-paid receiver, highlighting his exceptional impact on the field. Despite impressive performances from players like Cooper Kupp and AJ Brown, Hill remains at the top of the highest-paid receivers, joining a group where four out of the top five were not first-round picks. The increasing importance of elite wideouts has made the position highly attractive.
