Taking WR Early is a Gamble

agreed, to take one of these wr's in the 1st is a luxury. Dallas, e.g., has the luxury of taking a chance on one as they have a deep roster & 2 1st round picks. As vinny said, we need quantity & quality in this draft.

DE's are also a pretty high bust risk. DTs seem less so, but GMs & media are always saying there's a lack of good ones. O linemen, LBs and db's seem to be the safest picks.
