I don't advocate focussing on positions in the draft, I much prefer the best player available approach. That being said, Herm's reasoning for not wanting a WR is disturbing. If they aren't likely to make an impact right away and need a season or two to get acclimated to the NFL, wouldn't you take one now while your QB is getting acclimated and they both hit their stride 2-3 years down the road? |
I guess I'm reading this differently.
I don't think he's opposed to drafting a WR, I think he's opposed to spening a R1 on a position that:
1) Isn't likely to make an impact right away
2) He can get talented players at that position later in the draft, freeing up early picks for other positions.
I think we'll take a WR, I just think it'll be later. Better value at other positions early. Plus, we all know he's looking to stockpile picks. Wouldn't be surprised to see us trade down, providing we can find a trading partner.
