Not on small shifty guy that can play the slot. At some point you've gotta draft guys that can get open and stop looking at the measurables and the potential.
Draft football players for damn sake! I'll bet you that Ballard would have no interest in a young TY Hilton, were he on this years draft board.
I remember when Dallas Clark and Brandon Stokley were practically interchangeable in the slot and ran a route that became known throughout the league as "The Indy Route". I never see that route run by a Reich coached offense. Is that because we don't have the personnel to run it or Frank forgot about when he was At Indy in the mid 2000's?
How often do you see us run the 15 to 20 yd. out patterns, ever? It was a staple of this offense from Peyton through Luck.

They could run those routes with Harrison, Wayne, Hilton, and Clark, they had the speed to stretch the play. They also had a better group of pass blockers.
