    That's a total of 299 receivers selected in the ten drafts from 2007 though 2016.

    That's a League average of 9.3 WRs taken per team over ten years.

    The Bills picked 9 WRs in those ten years.

     

    You were saying?

    ...And boom goes the dynamite.

    Ultimately, i think the major gap between college offenses and the NFL coupled with the reduced window for acceptable success has the appearance that the Pro game is churning through QBs, but I'd bet if you did the math, the numbers are relatively stagnant.

    This. Teams used to have their drafted QB's sit behind veteran for a few years before giving them the reigns to the offense. Everyone expects most QB's to be great right away out of college. I think that if teams actually allowed a QB to develop, there would be more starting caliber QB's in the league today.
