Re: Our Current status at the WR position

I mean this isn't the first time Shanahan has brought in guys, practically off the street to catch passes (read: late round picks and UDFA's). Heck if anything the pattern is starting to mirror his ability to find running backs. The positions we need to focus on drafting are at Quarterback, offensive line, and defense. Receiver and running back are two units that given the Shanahan's history we can afford to be patient on.
Our numbers are a bit inflated because we threw it a whole damn lot. We threw it 705 times compared to ~500 other teams pitched it around.
