I still say they really wanted receivers so as a result they drafted 3 pass catchers with their second round picks and decided that the best player available approach was an easy way to get off the hook for not looking at players at other positions. Either way it comes down to one of two explanations for me.
1. They outright lied and claimed that Thomas, Davis, and Kelly were the highest rated players on their board to justify their actions.
2. Or as Gtripp alluded to their evaluation process is at the very least, incompetent, and they really did overvalue all three prospects.
What really happened will probably always be a mystery, but at the very least I'm scared that this years draft will have me feeling like all those past clips they show of Jet fans every year during the draft.
