Could have just as many chances at a quality receiver too.
2. Sammy Watkins
13. Mike Evans
44. Jordan Matthews/Brandin Cooks
75. Jared Abbrederis/Robert Herron/Donte Moncrief
Very true. Which is why I never argue "But you Can get position X at draft spot Y" - you can go throughout history and make an argument for every position with this logic.
Information came from PFF.
Removing Cook doesn't change it much.
Givens leading the team in snap counts doesn't make him the #1 WR. I don't think there's a soul on this board that considers him the #1 WR going into 2014. So it's a blatant misrepresentation to claim him as such.
But the fact that Givens leads the team in Snap counts shows me he is the #1, especially when he listed as it. People can argue against all day if they want but the fact remains that the coaching staff treated him, listed him, and used him as so. And when you say he was moved around, unless he lined up outside, then I don't see how that affects anything.
If anything, People can argue that we don't have a valid #2 - and I'll believe that judging by the way Givens was always on the field and THAT position was rotational.
And it's not like I'm exaggerating the snap count disparity either. If it were closer, I'd concede and agree with people.. But a 20% difference between #1 and #2? Come on.. They couldn't figure out #2, not #1.
And removing Cook does change it much - pretty much Givens led where you have Cook. (Atleast I saw #1 and #10)
Of course it's different, you have 5 guys in the draft instead of 1000+. The point is that the logic behind the picks REMAINS THE SAME. The team that uses the highest pick on the player gets him. That's true in any draft. If the Browns uses #4 in the regular draft and the Rams use #2, the Rams get the player. If the Rams use #2 in the Supplemental Draft and the Browns use #4, the Rams get the player. That doesn't change. Gordon was a second round pick in the Supplemental Draft. That's a fact and that's exactly what I said.
Again - its different. It's a bidding war, not a snake draft. It's completely different because of:
1)WAAAYYYY different Quality of players that enter the supplemental
2) The draft itself is done differently. Teams are grouped into 3 categories, and they submit their "bid" where they would draft said player...and not every team enters the supplemental draft.
