He is tall but he is not physical
Gotcha. He did make some tough, contested catches this year but yeah, for his size not a possession type WR over the middle like Keyshawn or Toon was, not yet.
I actually thought his numbers were better than they really are. Last two years he’s averaged about 55 catches, 6 TD. and 750 yards a season. Tough to command 15 million a year with those numbers. It’s WR2 money for me but I can’t see Robby settling for that
To be clear, I don't think he's a #1 but feel he has the tools to be one. He's gone from UDFA to where he is now and has improved hanging onto the ball from where he was.
Given our O line needs, I don't suggest we shop for or draft a top WR with the resources we have. I'd rather keep Anderson if the money is right and let him continue to grow together with Darnold. Whether that's a #1 or #2, if he's a #2 we can look for #1 in a year or two when we're further along. They seem to come available more than top players at most other positions.
