Whether Boykin and duvernay pan out or not, I love the trend of day 2 WR picks every year and I want it to keep up as much as possible, you need firepower to win in this AFC arms race and WR has such a low conversion rate that you can never draft too many of them.
just taking shots will ensure we occasionally hit on 1 every now and again
part of the problem with us picking WRs in the past is down to not taking enough WRs in the first place and spending enough draft capital on them
we've spent as many top 3 round picks on WRs in the last 2 years as we had in the previous 7
i figure part of the reason we want as many draft picks as possible every year is because it increases our chances of being able to grab one of those guys at those positions where we always want to be adding players:
OL
DL
CB
WR
i figure it's those 3 positions we always want to add players to every year - historically we've been pretty good with the first 3 positions (we learnt about corner the hard way from having those 2-3 years where we only had 1 who never played a full year) and we've finally come to the realisation that you need to take shots at a position to have a chance of having players pan out because as much as there's skill to drafting, part of that skill has to be about making the most of its lottery-like elements which requires having more tickets
in lots of drafts there often seems to be value towards the back end of day 2 at WR (ironically i wasnt a fan of the depth of WR in round 3 last year but we traded up to go and get our guy)
i always feel like the 2nd round is the sweet spot for WRs but we havent taken one there since torrey smith
