Although this was a close year with so many coveted WRs, it appears Wes Chandler of Florida will still hold the record at 3rd pick overall after the 1979 season. He was a two time AA and had skills that were unmatched.
He played in a wishbone offense when 10 passes in a game would be high. He even played a little bit at RB and QB in 1979 when the cupboard was bare. The wishbone we had was lethal back in 1974-76, but we didnt have a great defense.

That Chargers team was fun to watch with the air attack.

WRs were used as blockers for most of that time.
