I don’t really want to waste a 2nd on someone out of desperation and need. Just double up on OL (which will probably be the BPA anyway) or go EDGE. I am just not very enamored with this WR class outside a handful of the top guys.
They have to keep feeding that room imo. I'm of the mind that they don't need all-pros, but that they do need competent role players. Higgins and Boyd are underrated. A deep speed threat, a #2 who can beat press/has a great 10 yard split, a backup/second slot guy who can get yards after catch, etc. - those types of players, so long as they were good enough to fill their roles, would open the offense up and allow for the Higgins/Boyd to feast. That's really all that they need to cook with gas IF they have the protection and a steady run game.
The "bust" and "success" metrics in this thread are really interesting btw. I'm of the mind that both Sewell and Chase are going to be good, if not great, players. Which one moves the needle the most, assuming that neither busts? Who would be the most "rare" and difficult to replace? I'm of the mind that we saw the answer to that question play out in front of our eyes each and every time that we saw this team with AJ Green in his prime make the playoffs. A WR1 can be schemed out of a game - a star studded OL protecting a great QB cannot.
