I would like to agree with you. I really don't put much value in the combine numbers. I'd ideally take him in the mid-late teens. I just feel that WR is going to be SUCH a need for us having armstrong as our 1, and then (Malcolm Kelly? Roydell Williams?) as our two. Not if, but when santana walks, we will have the worst WR corp in the league. I am also against reaching for players at positions of need, but in this scenario I empathize with taking him considering the severity of the lack of talent in our WR corp.

For the record though, if I was running the team, I would consider winning in the next season or two a lost cause. I would draft purely for talent and admit to rebuilding right now. Neither Shanahan nor Snyder would ever do that, and I think they will pick for need if it is not too far of a stretch. It might not be what I would do, but I don't criticize that way of thinking either.
