"Maybe WRs really are a dime a dozen position...

Was Vic right all along...?

Well... I dunno if I'm all-in on the idea but I always tended to agree, especially when it comes to breaking the bank for one.

If you have a good QB that can get the ball there... all they have to do is catch it.
The only caveat is when you have those rare specimens that give you size, speed, catch radius, all in one.
Outside of that... don't use first rounders on em... And don't pay em 20 mil a year lol

Yes, the rare specimen is worth reaching for you and I agree on that. And I'm betting that you and I agree that they are also exactly that; "rare". Julio Jones is a man amongst boys when it comes to the WR position but there are guys that can crank out 800 yard seasons available in every draft. So was Jones worth what it took to go get him? Mmmm, Maybe. but you can make the argument that you could have gotten an 'A' WR at half the cost of that 'A+' WR.

I think I'm finally realizing that what Vic was saying was that you could get "a guy" to do 75% of what Jones can do at about 50% of the cost. So isn't it smarter to do that?
