He would not have lasted another pick. Oakland or Atlanta would have grabbed him.
And as far as I'm concerned, Mike Evans is no better at 7 than Odell Beckham at 12 who isn't noticably better than Brandin Cooks at 20. The Bucs wasted a draft pick rather than trade down for some later round picks. But none of the 3 come close to Sammy Watkin's talent.
Cleveland's 1st round draft was impeccable. They get a 1st and 4th rd. pick next year and still got Manziel.

I like Beckham a lot, but Evans is really good. The concerns about him are clear, that he played in a specific system that doesn't always translate, but he is everything you want in a modern receiver in my opinion.
New Orleans is going to annoy the s.hit out of everyone with Cooks, who was an excellent pick.
It was expected, both because of the current league composition and the players available, but the lack of importance of running backs could not be clearer at this point.
