Greg Jennings anyone?
My point isn't about last year, or the last 3 years, I am talking about the last decade. If you think there have not been more than 2 WRs in the last 10 drafts worth taking in the first 3 rounds, you'd be dead wrong.
A decade is a long time. Have you factored in how much technology has changed the way scouts evaluate prospects in the last decade. With nowadays's technology anybody can find any prospect no matter how small a school he comes from and evaluate them. Back in the day, the draft was a crap shoot, nowadays, it isn't as much so.
So? It was a crap shoot either way. No difference taking a risk on a WR than a defensive player. My point still stands. WR is a position we ignore come draft time (at least in the high rounds, where you might actually hit one) in relation to other positions. Why do we do that? I can only speculate.
