I think WR is a priority need for this front office, cannot see them waiting to the end of the 5th rd t address the need.

Probably, I just watched an interesting video that said we had the premiere WRs and it still didn't help. In this draft the good ones were gone by pick 88 and they weren't going to find guys better than Lamb, Gallup, and Washington. So it was going to be a developmental WR4/5. Gray is the speedy option with two years at the position and good upside.

I only like the top 2 picks and Danny Gray

I think they can easily upgrade Washington, who pretty much has been a bust thus far in his NFL career, he isn't even guaranteed a roster spot.

And yet his numbers crush Cedrick Wilson’s? A guy people are crying about having to replace.

Why is receiver a “priority need” when they’ve clearly chosen their top three?

Two of whom are under contract for several years?

Is a fourth receiver a ‘must have’ now?

I usually don't like arguing about prospects in the draft but I don't see it. Who would be that guy?

Wilson
Burks
Olave
Williams
London
were gone by 24

Dotson
Moore
Pickens
were all gone at 56 are they better than Linderbaum?

Tolbert
Watson
Metchie
Shakir
Robinson
Bell were all gone by 88 are those guys better than Williams?

I actually like Makai Polk better than Gray but Gray would be more of a speed option for them.

Where’s Calvin Austin?

Where’s Calvin Austin?

I can't remember for sure, he would probably be a good developmental guy too, but his size concerns me.

 

[Stash]

I can't remember for sure.

I’d have jumped on him if he was somehow still there at #88.

I'm not as high on him as some but I can see the talent, his size is a little concerning.

For what he brings, and how I feel a creative offense would use those talents, his size isn’t a big concern for me.

Check out this comparison:

And just for fun, look up both of their names together and how people are already talking about Austin replacing Hill in Kansas City.

Washington is nothing more then a bridge player if the team is unable to draft a receiver. He is no lock to even make the final roster.

Almost every WR in this list is an upgrade over Washington.

Almost every WR in this list is an upgrade over Washington.

The first five are off the board unless you wanted to trade up for one of them. Dotson, Tolbert, and Pickens could eventually develop into better WRs but not in their rookie years. I think there's a good chance the rest never would. On the Other hand Sam Williams and Tyler Linderbaum could be contributors in their rookie seasons. Gallup probably won't be ready for the start of the season so we should find out early, they'll have Lamb, Washington, Brown, Fehoko and whoever else they add between now and then.

But better than Wilson.

 

[Cowboyny]

But better than Wilson.

They already are bringing in 2 first rd receivers as their 30 day visits and traded Cooper away. Odds of them taking a high receiver are very likely.

Gallup was a former 3rd rd pick and an immediate contributor, I believe they can find another one on day 2.
