We have too many holes to fill.
Take a WR in the 4th if you want to, but OL and DL is the most important (then CB).

Every year there are multiple receivers selected in the first round.  How many are top 10? I heard them discussing this on 1010 and thought to look for myself. Well, thanks to duck-duck-go I looked at various websites and came to the conclusion to just use cash due to the variances.  A lot of these guys were included in most of them anyways.  Seems only 2 top 10 receivers picks made the highest paid list and they are # 4 and 8 on the list.  Rounds 2 and 3 seem to be quite fine.  No need to trade up ... so I hope our brain trust doesn't jinx someone and do just that.

Highest paid wide receivers
1 Davante Adams Round 2 #53
2 Tyreek Hill Round 5 #165
3 A.J. Brown Round 2 #51
4 Amari Cooper Round 1 #4
5 Calvin Ridley Round 1 #26
6 Cooper Kupp Round 3 #69
7 Keenan Allen Round 3 #78
8 DeVonta Smith Round 1 #10
9 Christian Kirk Round 2 #47
10 D.K. Metcalf Round 2 #64

Highest paid != best

A lot of the top receivers from last season are still on their rookie deals.

What this tells me is that if you do happen to find a guy who kills it in the day 2 and 3 portions of the darft, they are gonna get paid if they sustain that production. There's also a heapin' helpin' of flops taken early and late trying to strike receiver gold.
