i dont have a problem with a wr going #1.. we dont know anything about the draft so like you said he could be a calvin johsnon type player.. i think its more of the logic of the team who drafted him.. the cowboys have 2 good young wrs.

a te #2 tho.. i think only a few have been taken in the top 10 and a wr and te going 1 and 2 is really really unlikely

There's a first for everything. Right?

My thoughts exactly. Dal taking a WR #1 just doesn't make sense. I also saw Buf draft another RB? They have way more holes to fill than that.

If these things aren't taken notice of it won't get fixed. That is why it must be pointed out for the benefit of the game and for us. As someone also mentioned why is Dallas taking a wide receiver first overall anyways?

Killin me smalls..

What is more important is that the draft is MUCH more immersive. Besides a WR and TE going 1 and 2 is in the realm of possibility now.

Because outside of Dez, Witten & Austin, they have nobody.

Too many people making judgements without knowing anything lol. How do you know that these players weren't scouted a lot and after scouting, they look like Calvin Johnson (for wr) and Adrian Peterson (for the RB). Even if you have bigger holes to fill, some teams won't pass up on those can't miss guys. I wouldn't.

How do you know that WR was scouted and looked like the next Calvin Johnson? (as I already said). You don't. But if he looks like the next Calvin and he's the best available maybe you still take him. Maybe you don't. I can see either way. Some teams draft for need and some go for best available on board. And sometimes, there are guys you just can't pass on.
