Lapham on WRs

In 2012 - Jones' and Sanu's rookie season - they combined for 34 catches, 355 yards and 5 TDs. They were not effective as receivers and Binns (who was terrible) had to start 5 games because they weren't ready to see the field.

Secondly, Sanu's other contributions as a rookie (5 carries for 15 yards and 1 TD pass) weren't enough to offset his lack as a WR. I mean, ultimately that is his position and that's what we needed him for.  Drafting a WR is fine for the long haul, but rookie WRs rarely contribute heavily, so it'd be nice to see a veteran hold it down for a year until that young player is ready to handle the position.

100% agree not a hard concept to understand
