I think both points are valid here in that it's clear we still don't quite have that breakaway type on offense. Nothing makes that more clear than seeing Broyld when he gets into space. Just a lot of acceleration there (though I suppose I don't know what his top-end speed is). And speed, whether or not it is overrated, is very important for WRs b/c, by definition, they are operating downfield and in space most of the time. And while maybe we won't be getting a lemon-type with 4.3 speed, there's no reason we can't get in on Tayvon Austin types. 
 
That said, guys who actually have football skill and feel for the position and good hands, etc. are extremely valuable and productive. Lemon has been great and has, IMO, exceeded expectations. I mean he played and was somewhat productive as a true frosh and still managed to put up close to 200 receptions (if you figure he averages 5-6 catches for the next five) and north of 2000 yards receiving. Those are really pretty impressive results for any recruit, but particularly a recruit who wasn't a 4/5 star type (I believe he was 3).
