legit deep, not crap.
every other position has a legit backup, why not WR and CB?
several teams have guys at 4 or 5 that could challenge for our #2 wr spot.

Infinite needs vs. scarce resources.
Would I like to have 5 Maclins on the team? Sure. Am I willing to expend substantial draft capital and/or cap space to acquire one? No, not when we have at least one dire need on the OL and no depth to speak of at CB.
Now again, FA could change a lot of that - namely if we're able to bring back Smith and/or Howard. But right now, I see us keeping only one of those guys (at best) and if that's the case, we'll need to use those resources on more pressing spots.
Besides, WR has become a place where you can find a shitload of value in the middle rounds. Guys like Moncreif and Brown fall into the 3rd pretty much every season. This year it was Crowder and Diggs in the 4th and 5th. There will be guys next year as well (even a Ty Montgomery or Justin Hardy would do nicely).
It's just not a good use of scarce resources to throw a high pick at a player who's likely the 3rd option in the offense, at best (more likely the 4th option).
