It's not the Snoop Conner pick that I had an issue with to be exact. It was the whole approach.

They traded up for Lloyd when they could have stayed put and drafted Pickens.  Then they could have used that 4th rounder they used in the trade up to draft Pierce if they really wanted a RB. I would have drafted at least 2 WRs from this draft. Pickens was my target from the jump in round 2 if he was there. Then, in the later rounds, I would have tried to get Shakir or a TE like Likely or Chigo.

My approach to this off season would have been to give Trevor as much speed and playmakers as possible.

Imagine rolling into next season with Kirk, Pickens, Ridley, Engram, Likely, ETN and Pierce..... Kid can dream I guess.

Ok, fair enough.  I misunderstood where you were going with that.

I wanted WRs, too.  I was the outlier saying (for most of the off season) we should draft the best WR with our #1 pick, especially if we could trade down from 1st overall.  Plus, I coveted taking one of the best TEs in the draft.  As it turns out, I loved our two 1st round picks and still do.  I would have preferred to go WR and TE with next 2 picks, even if we had to trade away the rest of the draft. Dulcich and Pierce were the ones I wanted. (Although, I'm always banging the drum for OL.)
