Do we know that Allen Robinson is a Megatron? Paul Richardson? No, in fact defenses I would say has gotten weaker in the Big 10 which is why I am not high at all on Roby. We need to see how those players will do against NFL competition. Pac 12 has produced NFL talent, so has the big 12, and SEC. ACC sort of has.

Did we know megatron was a megaton before he got into the league and showed the world? The answer is no! You Draft on potential not proven NFL production, you must be thinking of free agency. Find one person that says this draft isn't loaded with WR's. Unless you're getting Watkins it makes no sense to trade up for a WR and you would have to give up too much to get high enough to get him. Besides with Breese you don't need one super star WR. Your better off keeping the picks and raising the odds of success finding a high quality WR by drafting more than one.

Megatron was drafted second overall(or third) so a lot was expected of him. It took three years for him to come on but that had a lot to do with Roy Williams and the QB position. He was also in the ACC a conference who has players that at the time needed more development. And after what happened last year we DO need a superstar wide receiver. The NFC is no longer defenseless, we have challenges and we have to face those with players that will step up in critical moments. We know Graham cannot! And that PF can be a recurring problem. And we have to stop thinking of what brees did in 08, 09, 11 he is already being disrespected because he didnt make as many big plays as the other three did last year. He couldn't throw the deep ball(due to Brown of course). There was a play last year against Seattle where Meachem catches a huge pass that goes over a defender. If that was a better receiver, that is a touchdown. Stills coudn't make the catch on a deep pass Drew threw against the eagles and that got picked off. We do need a superstar receiver.
