Yes, I'm saying a player that never played a down in the NFL is less "unknown" than Johnson. Excellent powers of deduction.
Maybe, and I know this is just a stretch, it would be smart to not only pick the best WR left on the board, but also reinforce the 3rd and 4th WR options.
Lloyd is a year removed. Johnson had a down year, he was traded over stab victim Mike Williams, and he's coming off multiple injuries from last year. Lee would be ready for #1 status when Boldins contract is up. Not to mention everyone seems 100% certain Crab is going to want a "monster" deal. Just saying Lee is a natural and he could help the WR position out of the woods.
BTW if you think were going to make it through the day without a WR pick you're vastly underestimating this FO. I guarantee they're not near as convinced as you are that the WR position is sealed up for the next couple of years. But hell maybe it's just me.
