True that. Also, remember that last offseason Boston was a lot more attractive to teams than he is this offseason, and even then the best deal he received was a deal that paid him only like $4 million on signing, with a structure that made it easy for the Chargers to release him within a year if they had a problem with him.
Now, they have that problem and it looks like he's out of there. No team will sweep in and give David Boston the kind of money we can't offer. And getting Boston means we have options in the first round. Question marks everywhere, but no gaping holes that force us to put the blinders on every single position other than WR. I feel it would be a mistake to step into draft day intent simply on picking up the best WR left on the board when we get to #20.
Target the guys you like and you want. Some will fall further than you expected and some will get taken higher than you expected, but having a guy like David Boston gives you that option of going with a first round WR, or maybe going with a Rivers if he makes a dramatic fall down the draft board, or going ahead and grabbing Shawn Andrews if he falls for character issues...or maybe Jake Grove, or maybe Vernon Carey, or maybe DE Will Smith (depending on the Ogun thing), or maybe a DT to replace one of our aging gap fillers. Options are best when drafting especially in the first round.
