I know a lot of people are knocking the six WR picks, but I thought drafting several at once was pretty smart. Less of a "us versus them" in the locker room when everybody is starting out with the same blank page. If they do go QB next year, with having a young line, young corps and young QB, that may up the chances of everyone being on the same page.
Good points. Griffin is probably the perfect QB for them at the moment. It's clearly a rebuilding year, so it's worth taking a chance on a QB like him. If he works out, great. If not, they'll have another high pick to possibly land a franchise QB when the roster is in better shape. I was also a fan of taking several WRs.
When you have 14 picks, taking 5 players at a position of weakness isn't a bad idea. For one, it allows Hue to fill the depth chart with his type of WRs. Secondly, you'd have to think a couple of those guys are going to really pan out. It should be a fun little competition to watch for the fans as well.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
