2006: None
2005: Braylon Edwards (Decent), Troy Williamson (Bust), Mike Williams (Bust)
2004: Larry Fitzgerald (Stud), Roy Williams (Decent), Reggie Williams (Mild Bust)
2003: Charles Rogers (Bust), Andre Johnson (Stud)
2002: None
2001: David Terrell (Bust), Koren Robinson (Bust)
2000: Peter Warrick (Bust), Plaxico Burress (Stud), Travis Taylor (Bust)

I see A LOT more red in that list than green, which has been my point that drafting WRs high is extremely risky business. I would prefer the Skins to invest high draft choices on the lines and on LBs to fit the 3-4. Address WR with a proven commodity via trade or free agency.

I agree WR can be found from 3rd to late rounds.
