Besides the front office just doesn't draft first round wideouts often (outside of Green). There are more Sanu's (slow can't separate) receivers in this draft then Jones. Hard to see any really worth a 1st round pick. Maybe 1. And he's likely to run a 4.75.

Just because we're desperate, we can't overvalue the receivers in this draft. And we certainly can't expect a rookie receiver to come in and make up for the catches and yards Jones/Sanu had. I don't think people are thinking clearly.


Yes, when the talent is there and not with a wideout. Dre is unknown to be back in 17, Dennard hasn't proven he can stay on the field for anyone to see if he's the future. If anything, (as great as Pacman has been the last couple years), giving a 33 year old 7m a year on a 3 year deal after drafting 2 first round corners in 3 years shows there is some issues there. Best player available. We can't be desperate and draft a wideout in the first in the weakest receiving class in a decade just because we're desperate. C'mon guys.

I'm all for pba, but how can one argue that in general a #2 WR is such a small priority.  I agree that having green and eifert is a great combo and we are better off than a lot of teams.  But green doesn't necessarily take over in big games.  We need a viable #2.  

If there is a great talent when we draft , you take him. But you argue that cb is a weakness and question mark.  I'd be willing to bet as it stands our CB's would be able to contain our WR's handily.
