I agree with you that we shouldn't reach for a WR when this draft might be the deepest WR class ever, but don't let that blind you on Watkins. Watkins is an elite talent. 1,000 yards as a rookie... put it on the board.

Watkins is not a reach. He will be BAP if he is even still there at #3. Fact is.....we will draft 2 WRs this draft. Now that MJD is gone, we have no weapons on offense except Shorts. Think about that for a minute. Shorts is the face of the offense now. He is our "go to guy". On a half decent offense, he'd be the #3....not the #1. This is the WEAKEST offensive unit that has ever been here. Now that we have strengthened our defense in FA, we need to bolster our offense. Put some first downs together instead of 3 and outs. How the hell boring is that? I miss the days of Smith and McCardell. Win or lose, the games were, at least, exciting. Picking Watkins at #3 would be a step toward more exciting games that are fun to watch. Then, get a QB in the 2nd and another WR in the 4th. With some protection and weapons, Henne might just surprise some of you.
