This is what I find funny about people claiming that we need to draft 2-3 WRs. Do you really think that Dorsey/Reid are going to run this offense next year with that many rookies? They couldn't even ****ing trust ONE this season.

The goalposts continually shift with people here.

Point is you'll never get a team that is operating at optimal efficiency at every level. You have to make coaching and personnel decisions to alleviate that.

I have no doubt there will be at least one WR taken next year. And then it will be obvious that the player is a rookie then Smith will get a pass because not everyone can be Odell Beckham or Sammy Watkins.

There will be one OL taken that won't unseat a current guy on the line. "It takes a lot of time for a lineman to be NFL ready. Look at Eric Fisher!"

Point is this lag time between when a player is drafted and when they start becoming gameday ready takes a two seasons.. And this should have been considered when Smith was traded for.
