Quote:That's kind of what I'm saying.


Sammy, ODB, and Evans are all WRs worthy of being ATLEAST top 5 draft picks.


Good football players are good football players, regardless of position. If a player scores you 2-3 TDs a game (ODB, Evans) you absolutely take him top 3 if there are no better options.


In this case, I DO believe Williams is the better option.

 

I agree, and I think teams are going to evaluate how they value WRs moving forward given how this league is developing into a passing game year by year.

 

That said, I'm not sure I agree that each of those guys are "at least top 5 draft picks". Odell for sure. But aside from him, factoring in system and circumstance, you can argue that guys taken much later (Kelvin, Lee, Robinson, Mathews, Adams) had similar production. If not similar production, it would be comparable enough that you might have been better off waiting on the WR if you had a larger need elsewhere.

 

Tampa's OL was a weakness last season. Were they better off with Evans at 7, or could they have taken say...Lewan and still take Matthews in round 2? (as an example).

 

Granted last year's WR crop is probably as good as it looked in...years? decades even?

 

I'm not completely opposed taking Amari at #3. Frankly, I'm not too enamored with the other end prospects other than Leonard. I'll keep digging on the end prospects, but if I continue to get turned off by them (and if the Jags feel the same way as I do), at some point they'll probably think "gee, none of these guys really fit the draft spot. We need to start looking at other positions in case we can't trade down"
