Speaking from a personal perspective rather than on behalf of the OCO war room as a whole:
There were five really good receivers in this draft, yourself and the four you mentioned. We were one of the few teams to need a receiver. WR is generally not particularly sought-after, being a glamorous position lots of people want to play. The league as a whole isn't constantly desperate for receivers in the way they are for defensive linemen, for example. Because of that, we were happy to wait for our 3rd pick and pick from the remaining receivers. You probably go round 1 if you played defensive line, IMO.
At 23, you and Duilio were left. If Duilio had gone we'd have happily taken you at 23. Your analysis of why we picked Duilio is pretty much spot on - he's a really good LR fit and apart from a 6-week period where he was IA for IRL reasons has been a max earner holding various league jobs in this league for almost two years now.
When you were still there at our next pick, we considered taking you as well even though it'd be overkill, because you were so obviously the best player available. Several trade offers came in for the pick and we took Sarasota's offer. You came across really well in DMs so I wouldn't take it personally, I can only assume you fell due to playing wide receiver. I hope this doesn't get you down or anything because you seemed eager and enthusiastic when we spoke.
