Top WRs last season and where they were drafted:

1. Antonio Brown (6th rd)
2. Demaryius Thomas (1st rd, 22nd pick)
3. Julio Jones (1st rd, 6th pick)
4. Jordy Nelson (2nd rd)
5. Emmanuel Sanders (3rd rd)
6. TY Hilton (3rd rd)
7. Golden Tate (2nd rd)
8. Dez Bryant (1st rd, 24th pick)
9. Jeremy Maclin (1st rd, 19th pick)
10. Odell Beckham Jr. (1st rd, 12 pick)

Given Scot McC's reputation of being an excellent talent evaluator, I think he can find a starting caliber WRs in the later rounds.

I don't think taking a WR at #5 is terrible; however, referring to a question JoeRedskins posted not too long ago, I'd rather have a safe pick in an area of need. I feel that taking a WR that high, you are taking them with the idea that they'd become a dominant playmaker. I don't think our team's fortunes can be turned around with one playmaker.
