The observation that the team has an apparent weakness in college WR evaluation does create a limitation with regard to how they get them. And that reduces the number of opportunities and likelihood of success. In the end, the Pats end up with fewer good players at that position, and having to use resources to make up for it that could have been used on other positions. It does matter that they haven't had success with the draft at that position.
Actually, it doesn't.
Based on common metrics, 3 years is the benchmark for time to develop an NFL WR.
Likewise, BB has often stated WR is the toughest position to project for transition to the next level.
The obvious solution.......trade for WR's and sign free agents.
About the only thing that will matter is BB will probably not waste anymore time drafting WR's.
