Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

You draft the BPA, the highest graded person on your board, period! It doesn't matter what the position is. It doesn't matter if it's three times in a row, particularly when you need a WR--particularly when one of them hasn't worked out. What you and others are suggesting from one perspective is to draft for need--exclude an entire position just because it's the first round, even though that position should rightly be in play just like all the other positions that could provide a valuable upgrade to your team, just because you drafted them in the first round for two seasons in a row. I hate to be blunt and it may appear disrespectful (but it's really not) but in my opinion that's just nonsensical. You draft the BPA/BAP regardless of any arbitrary notions because that's what leads to success, and that you used free agency to set yourself up so that you could do that very thing. That's just the way that I see it 

Aren't you suggesting drafting for need? You said we need a wr and seem to be suggesting that it is a priority. Just saying.

What I am saying is that receivers will be on our big board, regardless. Big boards are obviously going to include players at positions of need, but it would be tantamount to sacrilege to reach down over a higher graded player to grab a lower graded player simply because you perceive that the lower graded player is a bigger need.

How do you know a wr will be graded higher? You just assume a wr is the highest graded player that will be available. Thats simply not true. If they take a wr so be it. But I do not agree that there isn't better options that will be available.

I don't know, nor did I say that. I said you don't reach down over a higher graded player to grab a lower graded player; it doesn't matter the position. 

It doesn't matter what any of us think when we're on the clock. The professionals are the ones getting paid to scout and pick. 

If we're all being honest, we think they're are better options available all the time. Hell, plenty of people thought there were better players than T-mac last year. I mean, sometimes it's still a debate over players' careers. I mean, sure the busts are obviously wrong, but sometimes there is no right and wrong, it's just a matter of putting puzzle pieces together and making it work.

And Amon Ra St. Brown was a 4th rounder it's all irrelevant.....

This year crop on WR seems pretty deep and if we draft a WR 3yrs running in the 1st RD that's some pathetic sh*t not being able to find talent elsewhere 

 

I mean, Tom Brady was a 6th rounder and he's the goat. So only draft players in the 6th or only draft QBs in the 6th.....and irrelevant and such....

Just a topic with many recent players drafted around 19, some happened to be WRs and they are among the elite playmakers. 

I do not want to pull a matt millen, said so many times..

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
