Pickens looked good last night. 

But again, I could see a late rush on WRs.  Tennessee, Tampa, Green Bay, Dallas, Vegas and the Chargers could all take WR and all sit at the bottom of round 1.  But I also do not trusst Baalke to identify, draft or develop a quality WR.  He didn't do it in San Francisco.

With the Lions having the LA Rams 1st Round Pick, I definitely can envision GM Brad Holmes drafting a WR with that pick or trading up from pick # 34 ( early Round 2 ) to draft a WR. One major incentive to trade up from the early part of Round 2 into the 1st Round is the team would then have 5th year option rights for the player.  

As a rookie, Amon-Ra St. Brown far exceeded his early 4th Round pick draft spot.  I believe the Lions will try to re-sign Josh Reynolds, who was claimed off waivers in early November and was a huge reason for the Lions substantial improvement in the passing game in the last 7 games.  Pairing St. Brown and Reynolds with a # 1 WR who pans out, would turn what was a highly problematic unit in the first half of the 2021 season into a team strength.

It's indeed a very unfortunate situation.  i certainly hope that Jameson Williams makes a full recovery.
