They skipped offensive linemen in last year's draft to stack up at quarterback and running back, leaving wide receivers as their biggest headache, that WR room tanked last season, with a rookie tight end leading in catches and yards. This offseason, they only added Tylen Wallace, a return guy with just 22 career receptions over five years. Fans expected more moves, but the team punted again. Now, with nine draft picks, including two first rounders on April 23rd, analyst C. Cleveland grabbing multiple receivers.
