That being said, it often takes 3 years before a WR gets his best season in the NFL. We can use that draft pick on another need instead. Since it's not my money and we aren't going to have a Cap, then I'm OK with the signing too.

I get what you're saying and there's no doubt that ideally we will bolster our team through the draft. However, if it's this easy to pick up quality starters in the late rounds of the draft, all I can say is, what are we waiting for? By my count, out of 14 draft picks in rounds 4 or lower since Rick Smith took over, we have a total of 2 guys who you would pencil in as starters (Diles and Quin). Even these 2 have questions. Diles could certainly be upgraded and Quin's body of work is still too small to really know what you got. IMO, expecting quality starters out of these rounds (particularly from the get-go) just isn't terribly reasonable.
