I love this argument. No, it's not the equivalent of taking him with a first round pick. The equivalent of taking him with a first round pick would be taking him in the first 32.
You let me know what play makers we have on this team besides Charles and then you can make the argument that playmakers are reaches. When it's 3rd and 4, and we throw the ball to this guy in the flat and watch him juke 3 defenders to get 5 yards, then you will be happy he's there and not Lance Long.

-- reach. We drafted an iffy corner and a great returner with a second rounder. I mean, holy shit, the value's just not there. We could have picked up any number of nose tackles (Cody), passrushers (Worilds), wide receivers (Williams)...

You can think he's an iffy corner, but I really like his game and what he can turn into at this level. You need a stud nickel in this league now with most teams having 3 solid wideouts. Plus, I think a ton of people undervalue field position around here.

-- decent value, but at a position we don't need. Who drafts a guard in the third round and doesn't start them? Are we reeruned? Why wouldn't we draft a great receiver from USC (Williams)?
|
It's the end of the world that we aren't starting a guard when he's decent value? Right.

-- two more picks for a tight end? Ugh. Mardy Gilyard was still available. Daryl Sharpton was available. Bruce Campbell was available. I mean, Christ.

Mardy Gilyard can't even beat out Danny Amendola. He's hurt. He has a questionable attitude. I'm not a fan of the Moeaki pick, but come up with some better examples.

-- reach. Ed Wang was still around. Cam Thomas was still around.

Ed Wang is really lighting up Buffalo's camp. Lewis is the likely starter week 1, so I fail to see how you can reach on someone and have them be your starter. Cam Thomas would have been nice, but he's such a ****ing horrible interview and a stupid person that he likely spelled his name wrong on the wonderlic test.
