Most recent receivers drafting after first two rounds that have paid off?

[megalodon30]

Rod Smith who is arguably the best Broncos receiver of All-time went undrafted.

Arguably? He leads all receiving catagories. Unequivocally the best in Broncos history.

Allen Hurns wasn't drafted at all.

What's the motive behind this thread?

 

[broncosmitty]

Oops, I see Stomp did mention him.

Julio was drafted in the first round 6th overall.

Hmmm,

most recent would have to be guys like Diggs and Lockett this past year... John Brown and Martavis Bryant.. Keenan Allen and Terrence Williams..

Active, tough not to go with Brandon Marshall.

All time, Terrell Owens maybe.. Steve Smith or Cris Carter too.

Steve Smith was a 2nd rounder. Cris was a 4th rounder, but in the supplemental draft.

I missed Doug Baldwin undrafted and here are a few more notables that didn't make the list
Allen Hurns undrafted
Stefon Diggs 5th
Martavis Bryant 4th
Julian Edelman 7th
Steve Smith Sr 3rd
Marques Colston 7th

How about consistency not one year flashes. Hurns is wait and see. He had a good year last year but that schedule is about to test him, Diggs same thing, Smith is not recent. And Colston is not recent I meant basically since 2012 since that's around the time WR became so much more important in drafts.

Wide Receiver is still a luxury position that should not be targeted in the first 2 rounds unless the team is in a position to win now. Quarterback, Offensive/Defensive lines, then defensive backs are the important positions in that order.

What about Allen Robinson?
