Is Drafting a WR in the 2ND Really A Good Idea?

ok ok here me out and stop throwing poo at me.  If the goal is to develop Bryce Young, is brining in a rookie WR the right way to do that or just surround him with good vets?  I'm torn, we need a wr to groom but putting him on the field may hinder Youngs development.

It’s a WR heavy draft.  An ideal one to add a WR.  It’s highly likely the BPA is going to be a WR at spots…..and we need solutions to develop Bryce beyond this one season 

TE draft last year. WR this year.  If you aren’t taking advantage of what drafts have to offer and chase at other spots I don’t support that.

whats more valuable, the 8ish wr on the board, the 2ndish rated center on the board or top 5ish pass rusher?

 

I dont know the answer but thats kindof what you are looking at

This isn't as cut and dry as that the 8th best receiver out of a class of recievers with 14+ top 64 talent? Also having 32 and 39 make this a bit moot, the oline has already been approved dramatically.

I doubt they put a rookie center in front of Bryce.

The real question is taking 2 WRs in the 2nd round a good idea?

If they go into the draft determined to take two WR in the 2nd round it’s not a good idea. If the board falls that way then it’s a different story. 
 

I think it’s highly unlikely to fall that way but I could be (as I often am) totally wrong.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
