You can always select quality O lineman in the mid-rounds. Two years later, the Ruiz pick still is a head-scratcher for me Rugs.

Looking at the last 2 weeks of the NFL playoffs ... every team has quality WR's #1-3 on the depth chart. Legitimate WR's.

Let's not ignore the WR position in the 2022 NFL draft .
True Dat. on the other hand Payton had Drew to make his receivers look better than they actually were. I agree that it is past time for a high pick to be picked in the first two rounds again. Thomas has proved that you can get top quality WR's after the first round.

To make my position clear - WRz has definitely got to be fixed...

What I'm saying is I'm reluctant to invest a 1R pick in one when offensive line is as bad as it is right now and we can't give our QBs time, and the investment in Kamara...

I'd rather see us secure an affordable, proven FA WRz like a DJ Chark or Christian Kirk opposite CantGuardMike, and draft WRs on Day 2 and Day 3...

WR-X (2) 13 - Michael Thomas, 1 - Marquez Callaway
, 17 - Kevin White (RFC 2022)
WR-S (2) 00 - Day 2 Pick, 00- Day 3 Pick
80 - Kawaan Baker (RFC 2022), 84 - Lil’Jordan Humphrey (RFA 2022)
WR-Z (2) 00 - D.J Chark/Christian Kirk, 11 - Deonte Harty (RFA 2022)
, 17 - Jalen McCleskey (RFC 2022), 18 - Easop Winston (RFC 2022)
Wouldn't mind seeing a Kawann Baker, Kevin White, Jalen McClesky making the next step into that 4/5/6 WR spot(s) either...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
