[Whatever]

To clarify, I'm not saying WR or bust round 1, but at the same time, if Williams is available when we pick, you can't just pass because we have Boyd and Core, either.  That's like passing on Garrett or Allen if they fall to us because Clarke had 4 sacks in limited playing time this year.

You also have to take into account the fact that we were 24th in the league in scoring.  Eifert, LaFell, and AJ were the only guys we had with multiple receiving TD's this year, and LaFell is a FA.  Despite Eifert and Green both missing significant time, Boyd only had 1 TD all year.  A guy like Williams who can go up and get it in the red zone would be a big help.
