I don't know, how many of the next level of guys would make 23 picks? There are only a handful left at best. I don't want the slim pickings that would be around. We are guaranteed the top WR if we take one now. Or the best MLB prospect in the draft.

It's gotta be a WR...right? I mean...right?

It's just that I can't see anyone on the board worthy of four picks, including a two/three/high four.

Spielman has a good history with 1st round picks, so I don't mind this.

Guys please remember this is a young team, and they CAN WAIT until next year to pick a WR. They don't need to win it all this year.

It was a late second, but I agree...it was a little much.

Whatever it is WR or LB, this means they won't be able to select the other until the end of the 4th round. :wallbang:

Joe Andruzzi seemed a little disappointed that he couldn't announce the pick there.
