Because you are trying to win a SB and value the production more. And because if the WR class is weaker next year (especially amongst bigger WRs), Tee will have more value. Ditto if he has a big year.
You save $9 mil by drafting Boyd's replacement this year. You don't want to lose Boyd & Higgins the same year. This isn't Madden. Familiarity and chemistry between QB & WR matter. Chase & Burrow is exhibit A.
Plus, I'd rather burn #18 on a potential stud RT, CB1, or generational TE prospect than WR2.
