Feeling the same Joelist. It honestly makes sense and something I didn't foresee until Rapien brought it up. Adding a talent like
Bijan Robinson while letting go Mixon and his contract while adding a couple OT's seems pretty much ideal to me.

In my head, we are keeping Tee long term. Boyd, too, but that is more questionable. So WR is gonna be a depth piece this year and possible Boyd insurance down the road. But with Chase's versatility, we coukd move him to slot if/when Boyd goes, so then youd want an outside guy.
Anyway, I am not likely to take a WR late first, but under the right combination of how FA goes and what is available, I could do it. More likely in a trade back situation where we get an extra pick. But if I am at #28 and the only guy I think can be an immediate difference maker for us is a WR, I do it.
Late 1st (ours) or early 2nd (trade down): I really like Flowers from BC and Hyatt from Tennessee. Flowers more. Both are elusive & speedy. We don't really have that element outside of Chase. It seems like an insane use of a 1st, given the receiving corps, and it kinda is, but I think it would change the whole dynamic of the offense. Bell, Hurst & Apple would need to be back, else I likely go CB or TE first. I'd go OL on day 2 for depth.
Later on:
Cedric Tillman, Tennessee (Irwin/Morgan upgrade (2nd-3rd)
Charles Jones, Purdue (Taylor upgrade) (3rd-5th)
Jayden Reed, Michigan State (ditto), (4th-6th)
Taylor Scott, Cincinnati (ditto).
Parker Washington, Penn State (ditto) (3rd-5th)
Jones is the most polished but least athletic.
Some of the raw, bigger guys are semi-intruiging later on. But those guys would need to start on ST and would be Morgan upgrades.
Mingo (Mississippi), Elijah Higgins (Stanford), Iosivas (Princeton).
Nice. I think Boyd will leave and get big dough from somebody and good for him, will miss him. I think we need a speedster who
can beat Secondary's on the outside as Chase plays fantastic in the Slot. I think Tee is back on an extension, seems this is a priority
big time from everything I have been hearing along with Burrow's monster deal of course.
I saw most of those WR's play last season, I think I like Hyatt the most. Never saw Flowers from Boston College.
A Tennessee early draft of Darnell Wright and Hyatt sure would make me happy.
