Well if you have all the top receivers in for visits, show a ton of interest in them, and attend their pro days, etc. you are signaling WR interest to the rest of the league. They've done this very successfully, many of the really plugged in guys are mocking receiver to GB. Now think about what that does for you. Receiver teams picking ahead of you are less likely to trade behind you because they're worried you'll take their receiver. Receiver teams picking behind you are more likely to trade ahead of you for the same reason. So you're encouraging more receivers to go top 22, which increases the odds that the OL or DL you want gets pushed down into your lap at #23. And let's also say, hypothetically, you have your eye on some receivers on day 2. Well if lots of receivers go in picks 1-22, there are now fewer teams picking in front of you in rounds 2 and 3 with a pressing WR need. So even if there's no genuine interest in receiver, there are good reasons to keep up appearances. And of course, they could break tendency and just draft one.</blockquote>
