I really hate going into the draft with such a glaring hole at WR, why not trade for a vet WR before the draft? we have 10 freakin picks....maybe someone like Martavious Bryant for a 3rd or 4th? lol now that I think of that....we could just hand him the 88.

No seriously, didn't NE send a 1st rounder to NO for Cooks last year?

We can still draft a WR somewhere in the draft, there is a lot of value in this years WR class

Julio Jones for a 3rd :)
No no maybe the Browns will trade away Corey Coleman for some reason. Maybe give them a 4th :)
Or maybe Jarvis Laundry. I know they just traded for him and signed him to that contract but since we are playing Madden right now maybe we can pry him away for idk 4th and 6th.

In all truthfulness Cooks was sorta openly available even before the Patriots got him last year. Similair to how Laundry was out there for a while with the Dolphins. I don’t know of any number 1 WR like that right now. Odell Beckham would be the closet and I doubt the Giants would even consider such a trade.

U would have to add a Wr yo the trade to make it work or it's a no go.

And sorry but we don't have much to trade. I would be interested in Corey Coleman but that's about it

Why not trade your top WR when multiple teams were offering Dallas draft pics in first week of FA? Oh, I forgot they decided to take vacation that week.

Browns are in “win as soon as possible” mode. Corey Coleman isn’t going anywhere imo.

I wouldnt call Martavious Bryant a number 1 caliber WR and plus wasn’t he suspended twice for substance abuse? Do you really want to trade assets for player like that? On this team?
he's not a #1 cause of Brown, he would instantly be the best WR on this roster. It's a risk but for a 4th round comp its worth the gamble.

Its all about the money bro's. Rookie WR is going to be way cheaper than any vet in a trade thats worth having.

Emmanuel Sanders for a 4th. :)

Sanders is exactly the "type" of WR's we need with Dak.

Would love to have Martavis, but you would run into the same situation as with Dez. How long do you think it would take this fan base and coaching staff to turn against Martavis? Lol

Yeah, you can't fix every hole in one offseason due to money. You almost have to roll the dice in one or more areas. Last year we did with the secondary and it wasn't terrible. Maybe they will roll the dice with the receivers this year. If you're asking me about the draft, I say we draft a LB with the first pick to support the young secondary. Everyone counts on PROgression but no one ever thinks about REgression which does happen every year. People saw that last year with all the proclamations about what Dak would be.

There is no glaring hole at WR. You have
Hurns
T Will
Beasley
Switzer
Thompson
Brown
WR is not a need. Hurns has replaced Dez. In this offense with this QB you don’t need a “Number 1” WR. You need a number 1 LG!

This time next your list could be down to Hurns, Switzer, and Brown. That's the problem......
