People are talking Marvin Harrison Jr. like a surefire HoF before he catches a single pass in NFL. You just don't know. Out of the potential 7 WRs we expect to go in the 1st round, I can bet we are not getting 7 HoFers.
So instead of relying on finding a Randy Moss guy who can beat you every time if you single (sometimes double) cover him, offensive genius like Shanahan is making things un-predictable, tricky as you might say, to achieve the same result. You need a QB though and we have one. I see that the Bills are moving in that direction. Yes you should try to get a Randy Moss, but I'm not counting on it, even we spend a first round pick or even trade up.
