And why was he the pick?

They see him Bernard a guy that they don't currently have in the wide receiver room.

0:45.1

They have two big guys in DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman that do different things.

0:50.2

But none of them are separators.

0:51.6

And none of them are the polished route runner types that can try to get separation.

0:56.0

Michael Pittman's good at getting a good release off the line of scrimmage, getting open really quickly. D.K. Metcalf is great with his speed. He can get behind you.
