There were a lot of players I felt that we could have picked (this was my feeling before Ross was drafted, not hindsight bias) that could have helped out our team more. The one thing that could be said though is that it was a weird draft and I think a lot of people at the time would have been angry if we picked another secondary player in the first.

The team need was to have a field stretcher and RZ threat.
I agree that a WR wasn't as much of a need as, say, a DE or TE at the time, but the team felt it really needed a field stretcher and RZ threat.
