There are a couple that meet my arbitrary specs for flankers, but they aren't 1st round selections (which kind of works with my reluctance to take a WR @ 3 anyway).
Now... Chase might have secretly grown a couple of inches, or Smith might actually be closer to the 175# that Bama lists him, rather than the 165# that most scouts suggests that he actually weighs... because, as the average Finheaven poster has assured me, these two are magical human beings... capable of doing super-human things that mere mortals cannot (especially Smith). But in the long run... the fact that there is such great depth in this draft at the WR position means that I don't have to reach for players that don't meet the height/speed/hands profile that I prefer.
We've got 4 picks in the first 50, and touts say this draft is extremely deep in WRs... so why the Hell would we take the first couple off of the board?!! I know that the 'Bama hype from the hillbilly fanboys is thick, but geez... have all of them forgotten everything they've ever said about value drafting? Over the years, we've had dozens of threads measuring positional importance with most agreeing that QB, CB, DE, OT are the way to go because of true scarcity and because of the long term salary cost of these positions... and now conveniently... they act like these words are in some forgotten foreign language... maybe it's Klingon?
Don't F-ing draft a WR at 3 unless he is a physical freak! Don't F-ing draft a Safety at 3 ever! These are tried and true, very simple rules for saving GMs from themselves.
