Greg Jennings anyone?
"What is the difference taking a high WR as opposed to a high DL?" Well, first of all there are no top WR prospect when we pick but there usually is a top prospect on the defensive side of the ball. CJ was the #1 ILB prospect last year so Ozzie picked him over Kelvin Benjamin. Why? Because he was the 5th best WR prospect in the draft, not the #1 prospect.
@BmoreBird22 I am convinced that there has not been any receiver worth taking in the first couple rounds of the draft without reaching. Use last year's draft as an example. Watkins, Evan, ODB were all picked before us. That leaves us with the number #1 ILB Mosley. After our pick, Cooks, Benjamin, Marquise Lee, Jordan Matthews and Paul Richardson are all picked so that leaves us with the #2 top-rated prospect Timmy.
I actually would have been thrilled to have gotten Brandin Cooks last year, but I fully understand getting Mosley. I just find it hard to be the case for over a decade
