I don't think you're remembering things right jason. Cody Core was available in the 6th or 7th round (wherever we took him) because he didn't catch a lot of passes as a receiver. We took him as a special teams guy and I was actually surprised that Marvin even put him out there as a WR in the NFL seeing how he wasn't even used much in that role in college. But Core was fast, if I remember correctly.
But I was kind of happy we didn't get Treadwell. He didn't show himself to be a good route runner or have a lot of speed in college. He just seemed to be a big possession receiver. I didn't think he would translate well to the NFL (especially as high as he was taken), but didn't think he would be a downright bust.
Doctson looked like he could become a great receiver after his first year, if he kept developing, but I really don't know what happened to him after his first year.
