Dotson would be awesome of course. Sign one of Chark/Kirk/Gallup to be our 'premier' WR signing, and then one of MVS/Gage/Cedrick Wilson to be a second WR signing. Still not a great WR corps, but a good start considering the options.

If Williams gets tagged, I'm making a trade for a truly good WR. If Chark/Kirk/Gallup ends up being our "premier" WR signing then we've completely failed. None of those guys are even close to being a #1 WR. In Kirk and Gallup's case, they are more like #3 receivers. We HAVE TO get a #1 WR. If it's not via free agency, we MUST make a trade. Hopefully, we find a really good receiver in the draft as well, but you never can be certain, especially when you know you won't be picking one until at least #33 overall.

Other than Amari, who is the highest paid WR in the league and probably more like a good #2, and Ridley, who might be a legit #1 if he is recovered 100% from his mental issues, what true #1 WRs are out there that could possibly be had in trade?

The only one I can think of is DK Metcalf, there have been rumors (shot down I believe, but still) saying that the Seahawks might consider trading him for a high pick if they can't get him to come to a long term extension by the draft. I'd honestly give #1 overall for DK straight up if he agreed to a long term deal with us. Other than that I think we are stuck with the moderate upgrades I listed.
