It may not be popular for your taste... but CB is a bigger need and WR is a deeper class than CB.

I'd probably take Henderson, Diggs, Josh Jones, or Epenesa in this particular mock over any available WR. I know Lamb is a perceived star WR. But rookie WRs don't tend to have an immediate impact. And if we're looking for a guy to add to Chark, Conley, and Westbrook I could see (and would prefer) us waiting until round 3 or 4 to address the position.

Tampa taking Jacob Eason is crazy to me.
Also Simmons going top 5 is a little crazy to me too.

What? Dawg. Rookie WRs have been making immediate impacts for a while now. AJ Brown, McLaurin and Metcalf just this season.

Exceptions to the rule, dawg.
And those are 2nd rounders you just listed, which further tells me to wait in what many consider a deep WR class...

This past season N'Keal Harry wasn't anything to write home about last year. Nor was Andy Isabella or Parris Campbell.
DJ Moore and Ridley were first round rookies in 18 (Ridley was great, Moore was good but not much of a game changer)
Chark, our guy, from that year was labeled a bust by many.

Corey Davis, Mike Williams, John Ross weren't exceptional as first round rookie WRs in '17 really. (Ross didn't play until 2018, and was underwhelming)
Corey Coleman, Laquan Treadwell, Josh Doctson.... from 2016....
More often than not, rookie WRs aren't going to change the game for you.

Over the past 10 years only 8 rookie WRs (including AJ Brown) ever topped 1k yards.
And if we can get a 3rd round rookie WR to come in and give us 600 yards and a handful of TDs I'd rather us do that instead of spending a first on a WR to do it.
