DJ is not in the same stratosphere as the likes of Julio & Odell coming out of college. Too many unknowns (inconsistent separation, route recognition & field awareness). They were much more polished receivers leading up to the draft. He's not even on par with Michael Thomas in terms of route tree & he went in the 2nd.

As for the SJB pick and the rest of that class, that was on Ryan Pace's scouting dept (probably why he is no longer employed in NO).

Again, he struggles the most on his routes & used his speed to get past most defenders in the SEC. LSU never ran complicated routes. It won't come that easy in the NFL. In Sean Payton's complex offense, I don't see him on our draft board.
