I know it's not realistic, but I'm still holding out hope for a D.K. Metcalf trade or even a trade for Tyler Lockett. Trading up to draft a WR in round 1, would also make me happy as well. The only receivers I would want at #33 are Jameson Williams, Drake London, Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson or Jahan Dotson and I don't see any of those guys falling that far. There are a ton of teams with receiver needs in round 1.

Yeah. Realistically, before the trade deal went down with the Saints and Eagles I thought there was maybe a good chance they could have worked something out with the Eagles to get back up into the top 20s. That's off the table now. There's two receivers I think that could fall though. Dotson is one of them. I also think Burks will be there. He didn't test nor run nearly as good as people thought he would. His route tree is limited. However, his size and playing speed still look good on film. 

I also like a few mid to late round options. Calvin Austin III, Alec Pierce, David Bell, Danny Gray & Velus Jones Jr. might be decent consolation prizes at some point in the draft. There's also the whole "four picks in the sixth round" thing too. I cannot wrap my head around Baalke taking four players in such a low value round. Will be completely disappointed if he doesn't figure out a way to package those up into better value picks that weekend.
