Well, Richardson did pretty well in limited action, and Pead didn't get alot of chances. We had a guy named Steven Jackson that kept those guys off the field.
But depending on Brian Quick? The guy couldn't get playing time over Gibson and Pettis? Really? I take a WR in the 1st without hesitation.
Ok, I'll play along. Using your logic....even though in your example Amendola absorbed a fair share of the playing time too.
Depend on Pead? The guy that couldnt get playing time over a compensation 7th rounder? Really?
I take a RB in the first without hesitation.

Its not that I'm blowing the horn for a 1st round RB here...I do realize we need to add WR's obviously....I just dont get the comfort level everyone sees in our RB situation as opposed to our reciever situation. Consider the 3 RB's on our roster have a total of 340 snap counts in thier careers, with 90% of those going to one guy, Richardson. Where as the 3 recievers in question have a total of 1171 snap counts, with a little better distribution between the three, 50% for Givens, 35% for Pettis and 15% for Quick. Plus Pettis and Quick played alot more special teams.
I'd wager that Fisher is ALOT less concerned about his recievers than he is about his running backs. Thats jmo and we might not ever find out, but thats my gut feeling on the matter.
fwiw....I'd draft Warmack/Vacarro or Lacy/Vaccaro if those fell to us.
Then I'd take a WR later if I was enamored by one... because I still believe in my two from last year. For development, I'd pluck the best guy I could get of someone practice squad.
Some of you guys are showin shades of Millen....keep drafting WR's till you finally hit on one?
