Dotson, Ross & Tolbert would be ideal if they can't land any of the big name guys in RD1 due to lack of trading options. That would be my tier II group.

Dream scenario though is that they somehow figure out a way to trade down with maybe Washington. Then, they ultimately go with:

Burks, Dotson & Shakir.

The issues now are the injuries on some of these guys. Jameson Williams (ACL) & Drake London (Leg). It's going to ultimately change the way teams view the position and where they value each receiver. Also, size and speed plays a role. Dotson and Shakir are viewed mostly as slot guys/speciality type players. Whereas, Ross, Burks, London and Tolbert are your big, go up and get it type of receivers. One of them should slip.

I absolutely love Tolbert. I think his stock is gonna skyrocket after the Senior Bowl. 

With his ACL, I think Williams is now like the 3rd or 4th WR off the board. I believe London will be the first WR gone. His injury was just a fractured ankle. Those things heal up with no after effects and you can play the next season at 100%. He was on a pace to have a monstrous season, before getting hurt. 

ACL's are a bit more serious. Williams might not be ready for the start of the season and he may only be 75-80% after he comes back. It usually takes a full season for a skills position player to return to 100%.

So a no to Williams? Same for Metchie? As you have said, this is a deep wr class. If we re-sign chark, pick up Wr in FA, how many do/ should we target in the draft? And how high in the draft?  I see a lot of posters popping 3 WR in the draft, me included.  I think some of us get carried away with the notion of getting more weapons for Trevor when he needs a fair amount of help on the online too
