The worry is that with only 2 TE's and/or 4 CB's (as you will certainly need a backup QB with one of your last two picks) you are VERY vulnerable to injury. Most of us will carry 6 (or at least 5) corners and 3 TE's for that reason.
6 WR's is enough as even if two are lost to injury, you still have as many as you will ever put on the field. Whereas if you suffer an injury at TE or CB, you will be removing a significant part of your playbook (2 TE sets and dime packages respectively).
If you argue that you could always cut someone if you get an injury - fair enough, but then why draft them when they will never see the field anyway? |

| Its funny DaB I was deciding between taking Holmes or Fred Jackson. Jackson was my BPA but I didn't feel I needed 4 RB's but could use a 6th WR. Good pick. |

As I said in the write up - as all my backs (except Martin who is a rookie) are injury prone it's more important for me to have 4 than most teams.
He's not actually my BPA (he was 2nd) but if you want to create the world's oldest pair of ILB's (combined age 73) then you have identified who I think is the BPA now. |

Though choice between Bosher and Podlesh. But in the end I like Boshers upside, and I get another Falcon on my team

Unfortunately, Scar had that idea before you (Bosher was already taken)
You might want to repost to clarify that you want Podlesh |
