The 2014 Draft was considered by many as one of the best WR drafts in a while. Not because it had a large elite group at the top but because the tier 2 and tier 3 WR groups were so deep. So if there is a year to pluck two WR's it would be this year. Let's take a look at the teams that were smart and spent early picks rd 1-5 on two WR's.
Jacksonville:
R2 #39 Marquis Lee
R2 #61 Allen Robinson
Philidelphia:
R2 #42 Jordan Matthews
R3 #86 Josh Huff
Seattle:
R2 #45 Paul Richardson
R4 #123 Kevin Norwood
NYJ:
R4 #104 Jalen Saunders
R4 #115 Shaq Evans
GB:
R2 #53 Davante Adams
R5 #176 Jared Abbrederis
Of those teams who's WR duo will be considered the best by the end of their rookie seasons, and in 3 years from now?
4 of the 5 teams on this list are connected, Schneider came from GB and brought many of their drafting techniques with him. Idziki and Bradley are both former Seahawks who have power in their position with the Jets and Jags. Philly is the only odd one out but with the loss of DJack and Maclin coming off an ACL tear it makes sense to load up on WR's. I'm most surprised Carolina and NE did not spend more.
