KC has needs at WR?  Hill, Hardman, Robinson  GB wont if they tag Adams like rumored, they dont believe in taking WRs in the first.  They havent taken a WR in the 1st since Rodgers has been there.  I dont think Arizona takes WR with Hopkins, taking Moore in the 2nd last year, and likely bringing Green back after him having his best year, they likely go oline or pass rusher, Tennessee maybe but i doubt it as well after trading for Jj and he has a 13 mil cap hit if cut and Brown and they are a run first team with King Henry, they will likely go oline.  You could say any team could go WR but those teams have much deeper needs although I really do think Tampa and Detroit might go WR in the 1st.  The Raiders and the Pats are a couple other teams i see taking a WR in the 2nd half of the 1st.

Yes, K.C. needs a WR. Hardman has been very inconsistent this year and because of that, Hill has faced a lot of double teams. Giving a Mahomes a possession receiver who can consistently get open for mid range passes, would help them regain the offensive form they had in 2020. They need a #3 receiver or better yet, someone who can push Hardman for the #2 spot. 

Green Bay will probably tag Adams, but Aaron Rodgers will be gone. Adams would be the only consistent receiver they have on the roster and he's gonna want to walk the second they can no longer tag him, I could even see him holding out if he is tagged. They need to find Jordan Love a consistent target for the future if they want him to succeed. 

A.J. Green and Christian Kirk will both be UFA's. They may bring one back, but I highly doubt they keep both. The passing game has been pretty uneven for the Cardinals late in the season. They need to find a compliment to DeAndre Hopkins and Moore isn't it. 

Tennessee must find a receiver. Julio Jones hasn't panned out at all and is injured all the time. When A.J. Brown was hurt, they had absolutely nothing at WR. Run first team or not, they gotta find some other receivers. They can't afford not to. As late as they pick, there won't be an O-Lineman worthy of taking in round 1. They reached for an O-Lineman in 2020 at the end of the first round (Isaiah Wilson) and that was a disaster. 

Any team could go WR's, but we're not talking about drafting based solely on needs in these cases. There are very good WR's in this draft class and I believe they will be the BAP's when these teams make selections in round 1. That's why I think they will go WR with their first selections.
