BUT, if this is really our QB of the future, making sure the WRs aren't holding him back could be pretty important.
I really wouldn't be too upset about taking CJ. I think he'll have an anquan boldin type impact.

Well, no. I think they are evaluated improperly which is something completely different. The ultimate effect is that the guys who are evaluated to be the really, really cream of the crop best of the best are probably no better than the next tier. The success-failure rates of most top ten picks support my theory. Don't generalize when it isn't necessary.
Getting an Anquan Boldin impact from a 2nd round pick such as...Anquan Boldin is really good value. Getting equal production from a top 3 pick isn't all that special, and with our current D Line situation a WR that is of Anquan Boldin's caliber just doesn't improve our team much at all. It's not like we are a team without any receiving options--not even close.
Tell Kansas City and San Diego that ignoring WRs early in the draft can bottleneck your offense.
