Look, I love Sammie and we will miss him but how does a receiver who caught 30 passes his junior year get into the first, or even second, round?
Run heavy offense plus a second good receiver on the team plus injury. Its not hard. He caught 42 passes last season in an offense that barely threw the ball. Demaryius Thomas caught 46 his Junior season and he went 22nd overall.
Stats don't mean shite. How hard is this to understand? The NFL doesn't care if you catch 40 passes or 100 passes. They'll take the guy who has the physical ability to get open against superior defenders. Occasional drops are fine. The NFL will take a guy who can score from 40+ yards out while dropping a few over a guy who can't get open but who never drops a ball every single time.

Our "run heavy" offense is the reason he sees single coverage on almost every play and allows him to run by a college level defender.
How is he going to do that in the NFL against better defenders with safeties in to help?
He has below average hands and route running ability.
The Raiders do have a high pick though so he might go top 5.
