Why? Why do they have to draft ONE of the WRs with "Oh My God" potential? Go back and look at the last 3 drafts and tell me which of the players with "Oh My God" potential have actually been successful.
There wasn't anyone of that ilk last year, save for Crabtree who in ten weeks put up very promising numbers.
In 2008, Ryan, McFadden, Stewart, Jones, Johnson and mendenhall were all seen as game-breakers - all have delivered bar Mcfadden (who is by all account being criminally mis-used in Oakland).
In 2007 you had those bums Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson.
If you're just talking receivers, there's only been CJ and Crabtree worth a high pick, and one has shown his brilliance on the worst team in history, whilst the other has been promising.
I guarantee that if we could all go back to 2007 and put ourselves ina position to Draft Johnson or Peterson, we would, because they are potential HOF types.
The same goes for the Fab Four next year. They have Moss-like size, speed and talent.
I'd rather the Pats have a balanced WR Corps like they had in 2003 & 2004 than have the situation we have now where they are relying on just 2 receivers to do a lion's share of the work.. Being able to spread the ball out is much better. It's also easier to replace an injured player
If they can have 2 or 3 guys ready to step up to play with Welker, the transition is easier than if they have to wait another year to get "THAT GUY" and another year or so for him to actually produce..
I don't give two hoots how we want our offense to run, if you're in a position to pick game changing players; players with HOF potential, you do so. Worry about balance later. That was the thing about 2007, we had HOF players AND balance (well, until Morris went down).
If we're in a position in 2011 to draft a Green, Baldwin, Jones or Floyd, and we don't, I'd ask questions.
