Again, is this a true statement? Last year they had two WR visits and drafted a WR. They had 8 TE visits and didn't draft one.
You’re arguing against something no one is saying. No one is saying that they draft from the position they have the most visits from.
People are saying they have drafted in the early rounds from positions they had a significant amount of visits with. And that their first rounder has been someone they had a visit with. These seem to be 100 percent true statements and you havent said anything to the contrary.
Using the 5th round on a WR isn’t what we’re talking about. Nor is the fact they didn’t draft a TE last year even though they had a lot of draft visits.
I think there’s just a miscommunication/misreading going on
The way I see it, right now we have a solid #1 in Diggs, a fine 2/3 in Davis, a good 3/4 in Harty, and then Sherfield who I have no clue what his role is but I'm glad we have good depth. Shakir is TBD but hopefully he can develop into a good slot option eventually.
Ideally we add another guy in that 2/3 range, be it a full time slot player, someone to push Gabe to the slot on some snaps, or whatever else. That would round out the group nicely, in my opinion. I'm not saying Gabe is the problem, but I do think Gabe playing 100% of snaps and exclusively outside / fly route receiver is a problem. Get him back to his 2021 role and we'll be in business.
That’s the goal for sure. My concern is if any of the WRs available will step in and fill that need. It’s a notoriously unpredictable position as far as rookie production goes
