I don't know if we can blame stan hixon. Was it his fault that Taylor Jacobs didn't ever produce? We shipped him to San Fran & it was the same story there.

I agree w/all that are pointing out how difficult it is to draft a wr & have them produce for you. It's a high bust position for sure, but that's all the more reason to draft them in rounds 2-4 and stay away from round 1 unless you have that odd talent like Calvin Johnson last year.

also, some wr's go to other teams and are successful in a different system, as mentioned by SBXVII. That indicates that drafting a wr is as much about fitting them in the scheme as it is their talent, work ethic, etc.
