The original statement was to target WR early and focus on OL in mid-rounds, and my thinking deeper into the darft and looking at UDFA was a point of noting that typically OL disappear faster than the WR do. The drop-off in talent is going to be much steeper among the OL than it will be for the WR. If there's a Jamarr Chase on the board, I might forego the lineman at that stage, but generally it will be easier to find a similar WR later on than it will for OL.

I contest this too after looking at more into it. I think it's just easier to remember WR UDFA because their names come up more/fantasy football. Norwell was a UDFA and became the highest paid G in the league. David Andrews is one of the best C in the league. Villanueva has been a very quality OT. I could go on. There are plenty of good UDFA at every position (Thielen is probably the best active UDFA WR to add).

Ask Vic's big earth theory was just as outdated as his WRs are a dime a dozen statements and very misguided our fanbase.
