Both were rookies with major rookie struggles. Adams and James Jones I remember constantly shaking my head at, arguably more than I did with either of these two personally. Shoot James Jones at one time dropped just shy of 15% of his targets and became a very surehanded person later in his career.As many know too, more targets typically for most WRs allows for a lower drop percentage...as Jones became a bigger target receiver his numbers slowly at first but did get better.They didn't do advance stats back then on the sites I have access too so no specific drop number for Jones his rookie year but he did only catch 58.8% of his targets, which isn't terrible but is not the numbers you'd want from a guy that wasn't a pure deep threat/target type. Romeo had odd bursts of issues, in games he was targeted 7 or more times he only had 2 drops...but on the whole he had 9 total in this season, which was under 14%. While guys like Wes Welker and Brandon Marshall are the two guys I remember serving as teams WR1s but still having high number of drops exist it is rare a guy stays with that amount of drops percentage wise as targets go up usually...as example Davante has some years of advanced statistics in Pro Football Reference 2018 and onward. He has had in seasons 2018 onward; 5, 7, 1, 3 and 7 drops....sounds like a lot but his % through those years are 3.0%, 5.5%, .7%, 1.8%, 3.9%Here's a tidbit of information for comparison between Romeo and WatsonDoubs - while having 9 drops, put up a catch percentage of 62.7% going 42 receptions on 67 targets.Watson - while having 4 drops, put up a catch percentage of 62.1% going 41 receptions on 66 targets.No doubt both of them will want to improve on their reliability in two capacities...I heard it said Romeo will definitely be working on his hands because between the two he is almost always in the right place and at the right time...Watson didn't exhibit the same level of hands issues but will work on it, but he still needs to find that route spacing and knowing where to be more so. Both are pivotal for each of these guys and their next steps.</blockquote>
