Crabtree was selected in 2009 with a different GM
So one receiver in total picked before the 4th round. Kyle Williams is still in the NFL. Ronald Johnson was picked at the behest of former WR coach John Morton. Patton had a good game yesterday. Ellington has looked good but has never been able to stay healthy. Smelter was a pick that most here liked but he seemingly was unable to recover from his injuries and Burbridge is still a rookie.
How that allows for a judgment declaring that he "can't draft WR's" is beyond me.
If anything he needs to target the position with some earlier picks in the next draft.
That's why I'm excited to have Chip putting in some input being an offensive wizard and all. I like the ying-yang duo w/Trent.
I can't help but think if we make a splash WR within the next couple weeks IF we fare well.. Might have enough juice to make a playoff push.
Yes, playoffs
