It's weird Beane is doing this because if he ends up having to make a trade like last year he's gonna get roasted for these comments. I also understand he's gotta support his guys.
This year really wasn't the year to force picking a wide receiver. Two years ago we trade up for Kincaid in a wr heavy draft a just a few picks ahead there were 3 1000 yard receivers and oh right we already had a high paid tight end on the roster. There are certain years you force a trade up cause the class is deep and certain years you sit tight and take a guy or even move back. Whiffing on Elam and Kincaid while the Chiefs nailed Mcduffie, Karlaftis is what separated them from us. They had those extra guys that made a play or two and got rings.
