[That Guy]

I think the question is does the team feel it's that close to winning big that a true #2 or #1 wr pickup will put us that much closer? If the answer is no, then drafting one is worth the chance as they might be really good in year #2 after JC et al are more comfortable in the offense.

but when the cards took boldin, or the lions took williams, who where they're starting WRs (detriots previous 1st round WR is no longer in the league).

yeah, colston beat out competition to start, but when you draft a WR with the intentions of making him a #2 or #3, throw in the bust %, the chance he won't be any good for 2-3 years, and the way some other players may be able to help you immediately (CB/S/DT/LB/OG), it tempers using our #1 on a WR.

maybe the right guy is there though, but i'm pretty sure by our pick the best choices will be gone. caldwell in the 2nd wouldn't be bad though.
