Holt, R. Moss with the Vikings, etc.

And who is to say that team will not be better in the LR by getting a WR? They can work on their other pieces later, but get the best WR option right now.

But what teams have ever built success around a top 10 WR pick. I mean, teams have won games with a top 10 WR on their roster, but usually they have to make another really smart top 10 pick to get over the hump.

It's the fallacy of WR's and the way they are graded out of college. A team takes a WR at No. 6, another team takes a WR at 25? Who will be the better player? Historically its been a toss up.

If you are trying to address WR, the best thing you can do is not fall in love with any of the available prospects, trade down in the draft, and take the best remaining guy.

Falling in love with a top 5 receiver has traditionally always been a bad move in the long run...even if the pick does pan out.

So teams foolishly now think this guy, Johnson, is going to buck that trend based on the amount of hype.

And if he does redefine the position and the team that drafts him successfully builds an offense around him, instead of using him as part of the offense, I will eat some major crow.
