People that want a WR in round 1 just don't understand value, and the depth of WR in this draft. Ford would be an excellent pick IMO. COrnerback I could understand too.

I agree going BPA, but it's not really fair to say that about those wanting a WR in the first. We don't need a number 2 receiver. We need a number 1 receiver. You'd be hard pressed to get one of those in the late second no matter how deep the draft is. We don't have anyone at WR right now. Our WRs are incredibly weak right now, and we don't have an elite running attack. We don't have a running QB, so how do you expect we score points? We need a number 1 WR. No way to get one except draft one. If they see a guy at our pick who they think is a number 1 WR, I don't see how we can pass that up.

Sorry but have to disagree. You can find #1 WR talent in the 2nd round this year. shite, we got Kenny Stills in the 5th last year. WR is almost turning into RB, where as the system can dictate the WR's success.

Is Brandin Cooks a #1 WR? no, because of his size.

Same can probably be said for Odell Beckham Jr.

So which #1WR type are we going to target at 27? jordan Matthews? Cause we can get Moncreif likely in the 2nd. Allen Robinson? Montavis Bryant? Davante Adams? They have more WR1 measureables than Cooks or Beckham, who are being ranked ahead of them.

Even with that being said, we re-up Jimmy Graham, and we can get away with having a quasi WR1/WR2 type guy as our #1 WR. Stills is a very good start for the future, cause he can play slot or on the outside.
