I don't like the fact of picking a wide receiver with our first pick mostly bc of the message it sends to the other receivers on the team. We spent 2 top draft picks on WR's in 2012, 2 more in 2013, and now we're going to use another on the same position??? No. Austin had trouble last season but I feel, and I sure most of us feel the same way, it was bc he was being used wrong. Bailey has shown he can be a go to guy and catch damn near anything. I'm not giving up in Givens or Quick either. You don't get the numbers Givens had his rookie season and not be something special. Only problem is every team last season had him on their radar. They saw what he could do and shut him down. Quick is coming along slow but at least he is improving. So why are we gonna horde a bunch of talented WR's and neglect our Oline which has been a weakness for almost a decade??
It really bugs me when people say 'we used Austin wrong.' I get it, he is special. But he is a WR, right? We threw him the ball, and he made some plays. He actually had a pretty good season for a rookie WR. He'll be fine but he is not a go to every down WR - if it's 3rd and 15 we probably aren't throwing to him. This team needs a WR, just as bad as we need OL. And please for the love of god quit using the Quick improving card. Please. He is not going to be a starting WR for us.
OL can be filled in FA and from the look of the players available, WR cannot. So try to fill some OL needs (LG) in FA and still draft an OL with one of our 1st rd picks. But the other 1st rd pick has to be used on a WR, sorry.
