How about we keep our picks in the deepest WR draft in history and take our own?
Seems better than mortgaging the future and picking up a guy who is closer to needing a big contract.
Not that I'd to the trade, just saying that doing so would be because 1. WRs typically don't "shine" the first year, so we'd have to wait for him to develop, Samuel is a vet and more ready to go and 2. Samuel is a proven (to some degree) NFL receiver, always the uncertainty if your drafted WR will turn out like you hope.
But while you don't just draft for need, this team isn't in the position where you can just go with the BPA if it's at a position you don't have a big need for. Always good in the modern NFL to have several good receivers, but that doesn't do you a lot of good if your offense is sitting on the bench for 35 minutes a game while the defense gives up 75 yard 8 minute drives on your defense, and said drive ends up with a td. At some point you have to look at the defense, both now and for the next couple of years and admit it needs help. And we know there are lots of defensive players whose contracts are out after this year, if you stick with them and this year they don't "do the job" then you're forced into drafting most of your picks on defense next year.
Balance is the key to drafting, with Cooper, Gallup, Jarwin and Zeke all getting a substantial amount of passes, there's not going to be a ton a opportunities for your rookie WR to help your team.
Having said that of course if by the 4th pick there's really not a good prospect for the defense, then taking a WR is fine, he'll help the team more than some "iffy" defensive player. A LOT depends on how the draft goes, so flexibility is also a key...
