[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 883813, member: 12283"] The wide receivers they liked got picked off. 6 came off the board before they picked. The last one that was a likely target at #30 was traded up for (it just so happens by a team that runs a remarkably similar offense, under a coach that knows LaFleur well...). So they looked at the value on their board and decided to move up and invest in a guy they think can be a future franchise QB. Obviously it doesn't make them better in the moment. But if it pans out, it will have been an amazing value and something that will keep the team in good stead for the next decade plus. You don't have to like it, but the trade off in immediately vs. future value there is pretty easy to understand. 7 more wide receivers came off the board before they picked in the 2nd round. They're on record saying that there were guys they liked and were hoping to see fall and that they looked into a trade up and one didn't materialize. So again, they took a guy they liked at another position who is primarily for the future, not for the now. Again, you don't have to like the choices, but the way people talk about the draft it's like they think it's a trip to the grocery store where you can just choose whatever you like off the shelf. Players have to be there for you to draft them. Trade ups have to be there for you to take them. Teams can't control what a trade up will cost, and sometimes the price is too steep. And yeah, it's pretty gratifying to see the offense performing so well when half this board has spent the last five months *****ing about how the draft didn't go how they wanted and the sky was falling because the offense didn't have more weapons. This offense has a great QB, a great OL, a fantastic WR1, a great backfield, and some decent complementary pieces down the line in the WR corps and at TE. The way some people talk about them, you'd think it was the Jets out there... [/QUOTE]
