As much as it would be nice to draft a TE fairly early, I just don't see it happening. I would almost guarantee we go QB and D-Line in the first 2 rounds. We need a replacement for Fowler and I really believe the team will spend a pick somewhere in the 2-4 round range on a run stuffing DT, so they can get Dareus off the books. It is an immensely deep DT class and we need to take advantage of that. We will also have to find a starting RG, since Cann is an UFA at the end of the season. That's 4 picks already accounted for (QB, DE, DT, RG). I doubt we will address WR in the draft since we took Chark this year. I think the earliest we would address TE is the 4th round, depending on what kind of compensatory pick we get for Fowler. Although there is some really good TE's in the top half of the draft class, it's not especially deep. I was satisfied with what ASJ did before his injury and I believe he will continue to be our starting TE next season. If we can somehow fill our major needs this coming off season, I believe TE could be the priority in the 2020 draft.

They are set to lose Shatley and Wells if they don't sign them to new deals as well.  So depth is set to be basically non-existent.

I'd really be focused more on the OL and I'd make WR an afterthought. Probably need to take two OL in the top four rounds. 

2020 receivers?? No clue.  Don't care.  There's always a few good ones and I don't like taking them in the first round if it's avoidable in that year's crop.

If true number 1 WR is on the board in the 1st when we pick and the value for QB isn't there I think that is the direction we go

I don't even think WR will be considered in the first round or in the first 4 rounds of the draft. We drafted Chark last season and although he has not impressed so far, he's still a rookie. Our QB situation is a mess, so taking a WR in round 1 would be a waste IMO.
