We are easily one of the lowest resourced WR rooms in the nfl.
I didn’t say second round picks can’t be great. But for every big name that hit there are more who didn’t. Its not that it’s impossible, it’s that the odds are lower than you’re making them to be. There’s still a good chance we end this year without a legit WR1, or at least a consistently healthy one. Where you and I differ is you would be content with a WR room that levels off at last years. Of course you want better but you’d be content with it. I don’t see it that way at all. I think we’re more than fine with that but I also think we’re underestimating how high this offenses ceiling is. And if you think last years offense, because of the stat lines on paper, is anywhere near that ceiling we’re on a very different page.

If 7 of the top ten WRs in football came from somewhere other than the first round, then your argument is horseshit. First round WR have a very bust rate, and unlike Qbs, excellent ones can clearly be found in other ways. Such as Adams, Cupp, Hill, Diggs, - hell I've already shown you the facts here, you just don't want to believe it, and are convinced that we don't have a WR1 on the roster. The only honest critique you could make is that we don't know yet. Now THAT is an honest critique. But this insistence that because we didn't take a guy in the first means we're content with JAGS is a bunch of bullshit.
