Oh, I wasn't saying that the Doubts pick was better than the Shakir one; I'm saying there are talented scouts out there, who play a hand in selecting good WR outside of the 1st round. I agree that McBeane have collectively "turtled", since the Zay Jones experiment, and their resource allocation choices haven't been what I would have hoped, either.
My point is that it would be wise for Beane to identify those scouts picking productive WR outside of round one, and bring them into the fold. Not every single example is perfect, but I don't feel like we have been confident enough in our scouting of rounds 2-3 WR to pick one. Maybe it is just their overreaction to the Jones pick; us amateur speculators will never know.
But if the following are true:
1. Beane has a lack of confidence in our scouting of 2nd-3rd round WR talent.
2. Some other teams seem to capably draft WR in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Then, why would we not want to look to successful programs and talent identifiers / scouts?
That is my point.
