When are we gonna draft a WR....

[Q_the_man]

In the first round. We have pass on atleast 15 good young WRz over the past 4 years, while we are trading for or drafting late round prospects, the Giants have drafted 4 young WRz over the last 3 years, the skins drafted 4 youngs WRz and the Eagles drafted 2 nice young WRz, and we drafted 0, Why is JJ so scared to draft a WR early....I know I'm venting a little but man, not winning over the last 13 years is not cool.

We basically did draft one by trading our 1st pick to Detroit for Williams, so consider him our frst rounder.

Like I said draft one, not trade for one........

Williams catches that TD before half time and Dallas wins.

What difference does it make?

And Roy Williams might not be a perennial Pro Bowl player, but none of the guys those teams have drafted have even made one Pro Bowl. Nor will they likely ever make one.

Don't worry, were trade out of the 1st and pick up 5 extra 6 round picks that we're end up cutting at the end of training camp like this year.

It makes alot of difference, we traded a first and 3rd for a WR who has been in the league for a while, stuck in his ways, I like Roy and he's a keeper I hope but still draft a young WR early, the old Dallas way.... We have drafted Defense around 11 straight years in the first besides last year and only Ware and Newman to show for it..

I'm saying we need to draft a WR in the 1st period or at the very least the 2nd. BTW I'm pretty sure those WRz will make a couple Probowls they only been in the league for 2 or 3 years at the most...... They have more upside then Austin, Hurd, Crayton, Igretree (whatever his name is) and run better routes....

Again, why do you want to draft an unproven wide receiver instead of trading for a proven one?

You said it makes a lot of difference. Why? When you draft a guy, you have to get lucky just to have him turn out like Roy Williams. When you trade for him, you know what you're getting. Between 2000 and 2005, there were 19 wide receivers drafted between the 10th pick and the end of the first round. Only four of them have ever been to a Pro Bowl. Seven of them are out of the league already. So when you draft a receiver in the first round where we've been picking, there's a much higher chance of getting a complete bust than there is of getting someone who will ever be good enough to make the Pro Bowl.

I'll tell you right now, if I could trade my mid-to-low first-round pick for a 25-year-old guy who already has been to a Pro Bowl, I'd do it every single season. I'd MUCH rather have young Pro Bowl players than have to wait to see if the guys I've drafted can develop into Pro Bowl players (or even adequate starters, in some cases).

BTW I'm pretty sure those WRz will make a couple Probowls they only been in the league for 2 or 3 years at the most.

A couple of Pro Bowls, huh? Good luck with that. There have been plenty of very good wide receivers who have never made a single Pro Bowl, or who were fortunate just to make one. The odds are slim that any of them will ever make one Pro Bowl, let alone a couple.

Offer the Niners a 2nd rounder for Crabtree and pay the man Jerry. Since Jerry is throwing loot at everyone else, might has well pay someone with potential.

No matter what receiver we have if ROMO keeps throwing to the other team it doesnt matter.

Williams catches that TD before half time and Dallas wins.

Please tell me you are NOT trying to say that he should've made that catch because that would have been an amazing catch had he caught it - in other words, that was NOT an easy play to make. Plus, when they showed the replay, even if he had caught it, it looked like his momentum would've carried him out of bounds.
