    Only twice in NFL history has a wide receiver been taken 1st overall and I don't think a tight end has ever been taken 2nd overall. So for both of those two happen in one year is extremely unrealistic based on the NFL history. It just isn't logical...

      What if this WR becomes the next Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson.

      Jeez.

      The NFL has had a major shift to the passing game and having elite players at WR and TE is more important than ever in this now vertical pass happy league.
      i dont have a problem with a wr going #1.. we dont know anything about the draft so like you said he could be a calvin johsnon type player.. i think its more of the logic of the team who drafted him.. the cowboys have 2 good young wrs.

      a te #2 tho.. i think only a few have been taken in the top 10 and a wr and te going 1 and 2 is really really unlikely

          My thoughts exactly. Dal taking a WR #1 just doesn't make sense. I also saw Buf draft another RB? They have way more holes to fill than that.

            If these things aren't taken notice of it won't get fixed. That is why it must be pointed out for the benefit of the game and for us. As someone also mentioned why is Dallas taking a wide receiver first overall anyways?

              Killin me smalls..

              What is more important is that the draft is MUCH more immersive. Besides a WR and TE going 1 and 2 is in the realm of possibility now.

                Because outside of Dez, Witten & Austin, they have nobody.

                  Too many people making judgements without knowing anything lol. How do you know that these players weren't scouted a lot and after scouting, they look like Calvin Johnson (for wr) and Adrian Peterson (for the RB). Even if you have bigger holes to fill, some teams won't pass up on those can't miss guys. I wouldn't.

                    How do you know that WR was scouted and looked like the next Calvin Johnson? (as I already said). You don't. But if he looks like the next Calvin and he's the best available maybe you still take him. Maybe you don't. I can see either way. Some teams draft for need and some go for best available on board. And sometimes, there are guys you just can't pass on.

                      I completely understand your logic. I am just afraid that the computer has little to no logic when it comes to drafting. That is all I am concerned with.

                        And you could be right. You could be wrong. We don't know the details because we don't have the game in our hands.

                            I imagine a large part of the reason why WR/TE do not typically get drafted that high in the NFL is due to the previous uncapped rookie salaries. Now that there is a slotted rookie salary, I'm guessing this will occur a bit more often. Nonetheless, it is uncommon to say the least when you see it occur.

                              The personality that Trey Wingo adds to the draft gives this game a large boost for me. The whole "draft picks dad is a former nfl player" is awesome. Would be cool to draft one guy in your first year's draft and then see 25 years down the line in that draft that his son gets taken in the draft.

                                That's amazing. It flowed really smoothly, I loved the twitter posts from football insiders as well.
