2. Contrary to popular belief, CB is not the dire need being portrayed because the back field doesn't matter if the middle is gashed for 7 yards every time the RB touches the ball. They can make do with the guys on the roster until the Bigs are fixed. No way I trade my high picks for a WR at this point.
3. I'd be ok with this although I believe protecting Trevor is the ONLY thing this team should focus on until it's done. They've done some work fixing the line for this year already, now they need to fix it for the next 5 with their draft capital. Newton would be a good addition but I'd go Oline in the 2nd and 3rd. Give me 1,000 pounds of player with the first three picks.

Since I said all that it's quite likely that we take Cooper DeJean and trade for Tee Higgins tonight.

Nabers, MHJ or Odunze all can give you what Ridley did last year and probably more.

Those are the only 3 receivers I'm advocating for. Odunze would come in immediately and get you 1K yards and probably 10 TDs. Nabers is electric and can take a 5 yard slant route to the house.

I also think Trevor has made it very clear that they need to upgrade the WR room. This is just a personal hunch.

Prosser made the point on the Drill just a bit ago. Receivers taken in the range where you're suggesting are a coin flip's chance of even being good while of the best receivers in the league today only Chase was taken that high. I just don't buy that these guys are difference makers when the QB doesn't have time to get them the ball and the running game can't get a yard when needed. Giving up more than just a 1st round pick for one of those guys [BLEEP] (bleeped word for "slows", lol)the roster's progress even further. It's just too much to give up to move up in this draft. If one of them falls to 17? That's a different matter to consider, but no way I'd move up.
