I'm not so sure the Senior Bowl matters much big picture wise apart from a handful of players every year

Why should Grier of been the most polished?  He only started 2 full years.  Lock, Jones, and Finley started 3 full years

I know past history shouldn't matter, but this team's track record with 1st round receivers has been terrible (Soward, Williams and Jones) and Metcalf's history of injuries would give me pause. I'd prefer getting the big offensive tackle in the 1st round and then waiting til rounds 2 or 3 for the receiver. Robinson and Lee were very solid 2nd round picks and Westbrook was a 4th round steal (due to character concerns).

Lee was a solid 2nd round pick?  You must think Yeldon was a solid 2nd round pick too?

Lee may not be a number 1 receiver, but he was the leading receiver for the Jags two seasons ago. His injury history has prevented him from getting to the next level, but I do consider him to be a solid receiver when on the field. As far as Yeldon goes, he was certainly disappointing as a 2nd rounder, especially when they could have had David Johnson. However, his performance last year was actually pretty good and I expect him to be offered a very good contract in free agency. He is a solid pass protector and receiver out of the backfield. Better examples would have been Kordell Taylor and Larry Smith, both 2nd round busts.
