They both fit a bigger need and would have fit the BPA.
I've been waiting for over a week for someone to find me one reputable analyst that had McCluster as a Top 40 prospect.
So don't act like we didn't reach. We did. For a position that Pioli felt was more important than the two biggest weaknesses on the defense.

If Palantonio is telling the truth, and he's better informed than anyone about the Eagles
If Pioli is telling the truth, and why would he not
And if Gosselin is right about mcCluster being a top 3 WR AND top 3 RB on a lot of teams boards, and Gosselin is one of the most informed of any draft-day sources
Then McCluster was a BPA. And at a position we currently need.
You're putting a lot more emphasis on need over BPA.
