I think we need to spend high picks on the Offensive Line; we need to protect Lawrence at all costs, he might be able to get something going if he weren't running for his life every play

Jameson Williams, assuming he comes out, would make a huge difference, at least in terms of deep speed/vertical separation.  Whether he ultimately meets the dependability prong is another matter.

TOLM mentioned possibly trading for Tee Higgins.

If we are throwing out trade proposals, I think I would make an offer for Seattle's DK Metcalf.

It seems increasingly obvious Seattle will be in full rebuild mode, possibly with a new head coach and a new QB.  On top of that, they have had late first round picks after all the years of contention, and the last two years, they've had no first round picks thanks to the trade for Jamal Adams.  Despite the fact they trounced us, they are largely a tlent depleted team, and Metcalf would represent one of the few tradeable pieces they have.  Though Higgins has the history with Trevor Lawrence, I think a more viable target (though still firmly in the unlikely to happen category) is Metcalf.

If we're going solely by the draft to fix WR, I'd want to replicate what Denver did last year and double up on WR in the first two rounds-even targeting the same schools-with Jameson Williams and Jahan Dotson.
