I believe in the "best available player, regardless of position" philosophy for the draft....And from what Gibbs has said, I think the Skins feel the same way. Was FS our biggest need last year? I didn't think so, but Taylor was too good to pass up. They have tried to fill any holes through FA or promoting from within. This gives them they advantage in terms of trading to move in a spot to draft a certain player, but if it doesn't work, they aren't limited to having to find a player that plays a specific position. Of course this doesn't always work, but the idea behind it is good.
That said, I don't think WR is our biggest need, but if we ended up with someone like Williams, I wouldn't be upset. I don't really follow college ball, so I mainly go by what I read about them, so it seems like we have a couple decent options, whether it be a WR, CB, DE, or trading down to gain another pick or two.
