But if it was me? I would have traded picks to get Cooper or trade up like the Lions did for a WR or make a blockbuster trade for Tyreek/Adams/AJB like other teams did. I for sure am not going into the season with Zay and Marvin. Kirk would be even better if he had someone to take the pressure off him for once. I wouldn't have drafted 2 LBs and given Oluokon a ton of money. 

However, it doesn't matter what I would have done. They are stuck with a bottom 5 outside WR room which clearly isn't helping their young QB. Trevor has his faults for sure but they aren't making his life easier which is exactly what the Eagles and Fins did for theirs.

With those players around Pickens it helps to open things up for him.  You think it would help Kirk if he had more help around him but it hurts Pickens with good players around him.  Lmao.   The Lions WR they traded up for hasn't even played a down yet so I highly doubt he would of been helpful up to this point lol

Jamo wouldn't help much this year but he absolutely would be able to help give this team something they have almost never had at the WR position.... A true speedster to stretch the field.

Pickens would give Trevor something he doesn't currently have and that's someone who can win on the outside and has speed. Yes, Pickens would help Kirk out. If you have actually watched Pickens play, you would see that he is consistently winning but doesn't have a QB to get him the ball.

You're also oddly harping on Pickens. It's not about him at all. It's about not doing enough to upgrade the outside receivers on this team while other teams stockpile the position for their young QB.
