Not drafting a QB a mistake?

An example of adjusting a draft board at a position happened with WRs the past 2 seasons. A team might have a say a 2nd round grade on Nelson Agoholor or Kelvin Benjamin but based on how the draft played out if you didn't take them round 1 you weren't getting them.


I don't understand your point here.

The draft is fluid not static.

There are many different scenarios and situations at play that are interrelated and require different means of management. So sure sometimes Bill's idiom of 'better 1 round early then 1 pick' is the right approach for certain situations or like a Russell Wilson and many other Seattle "reaches" or sometimes waiting on a hidden gem that your scouts and coaching staff have identified undervalued is the right play as in a Alfred Morris or a Keenan Robinson.

Listening to the Seattle brain trust, they never considered themselves reaching for Wilson. They picked him where they rated him. They just consider themselves better talent evaluators than the rest, which hasnt been proven false as of yet.

The same is very possible for the 2 WRs you listed. You are basing a team reaching on pundits or your own opinion. Can you guarantee that no team had Benjamin or Agohlor as a 1st rounder, even if late in the round? You say that boards were altered the last 2 drafts based on WRs as if it were fact, then go on a story that starts with might. You present it as fact, then tell a story thats based on assumption.
