I know what you are saying.
What I'm saying is that guys like Devin Street and Mike Davis and Jared Abbrederis put up as good or better numbers than a guy like Lee and seem to have not only the measurables but the work ethic and drive as well.
It's an extremely deep WR position draft. There are incredibly solid prospects well into the fourth round. Guys who put up ridiculous college numbers like Cody Hoffman might not even get drafted.
What the problem is is that there are a number of people who think that the OG position is a pile of shit and you can just put a guy you found at a truck stop there and get quality production versus a "skill position" where if you don't spend a first rounder on that you'll never get that type of player again in the draft.
Then there is the problem of guys willing to pay journeymen level players $4 and $5 million dollars per because they don't want to spend a first round pick on a particular position, even though that first round pick will be paid half of that and most likely has substantially more upside than said overpaid journeyman player.
However, when it comes down to it, the best players at their positions, regardless of the position, tend to get drafted early versus later.
And I'm already on record stating that I would love Odell Beckham as our pick. In fact, if he's there and they pass, I'm going to be a bit disappointed. However, I'm not going to lose my shit if they decide to go with a guy like S'ua-Filo, who is generally regarded as the best offensive guard prospect in this draft and the best at that position since DeCastro.
I'm also of the opinion that guys like Donte Moncrief and Devin Street and Mike Davis have as much potential to develop into #1 WR's as do guys like Mike Evans, Sammy Watkins and Marquis Lee. I'm also of the opinion that Beckham and Cooks will be off the board by the time the Chiefs pick and if they want to go that fast slot guy route, dudes like Josh Huff and Robert Herron are not that far behind Beckham and Cooks. It's just that deep of a draft for that position.
