I guess part of it stems from the fact that he's being projected as a top five pick. Personally, I think his absolute ceiling is Reggie Wayne. While there's nothing necessarily wrong with Reggie Wayne, you don't spend a top five pick on that, either. He doesn't have near the size/speed/playmaking ability of those who have been taken that high (Andre Johnson/Larry Fitzgerald/Calvin Johnson come to mind) in the past. He's nowhere near that. He's not as big nor as fast as previously thought, which might help quell the top five chatter. To his credit he is a solid route runner and does have solid hands.
Again, all just my personal observation and opinion.
