Plenty of wideouts gardner a high pick while rebuilding, wrs like Crabtree, Calvin, Fitz, ya know...big guys that are legitimate matchup threats against smaller defenders around the red zone and inside the 10...guys that can develop into great blockers because of their frames, not just a fraile guy that is lightening quick and can beat 1 on 1 matchups.
Maclin would be a nice finishing touch, but wouldnt impact games for us as much as Crabtree of Orakpo could have. IMHO of course...

Completely agree. These guys are more specialists than anything. If we're talking playmakers, I'd much rather the multi-tooled playmaker than the one-dimensional one.
It's like the Nose Tackle position. That's a guy who will give you a big boost, but won't be an every-down player. A pure speed guy is the same way and that's why they usually aren't taken in the top 10. Because you're right, in order to get mileage out of your speed guy, you have to have the QB who can deliver it to him and you have to have the o-line that can give him the time to get off bumps and get open downfield.
