This team wants to have as many guys as they can count-on on the roster, and as of right now there is no dependable WR3/Slot guy on a contract. Drafting someone in round 3/4 isn’t going to guarantee us a dependable player, no matter how deep this draft is.
McCarthy has said before he likes his base personnel to be 11, meaning 3 WR’s. Our slot guy is basically a starter, you have to make sure you have a contributor there or the explosiveness we showed at times last year is probably not going to have the same potential.
Kirk is a proven player with upside remaining as he is young, fast, plays 3 spots, can run routes, and has good hands. His issues have been injury related. If we could trade a 4th for him, I do it because if he walks we probably get a 4/5th round compensatory pick.
