I'm also not saying Metchie doesn't get snagged somewhere in the 2nd round. He very well may. I would just be content with not trading up for any receiver given the depth at the position in this draft. I think someone or multiple guys will be there in the 3rd if we covet the position over another need at that time.

I think you're fixing to see a run on WR's right off the bat tonight. Probably another three to four of them are going between picks 33 - 46. I think the cost to move up to get one is just too high. 

I think they knew this was going to happen and I think they're content with what they did in free agency. Nobody liked this when I said it very, very earlier on this year. 

Justyn Ross is probably a guy they're hoping to land later on during Saturday. David Bell would be an ideal pick up as well. Not really fast guys. But, decent size with hands. Ross with the obvious connection at Clemson with Lawrence. I would take Bell 70th overall if they trade up and get an interior offensive lineman or right tackle tonight and just be done with it. 

Starting DE, starting LB, starting G/C/T and a possession receiver on 3rd downs for Lawrence is not a bad haul overall.

Agreed on David Bell.  He's no speedster, but does an exceptional job at creating last second separation when the ball is headed his way.
