We already have two very good WRs in Higgins and Boyd. A new guy might provide some improvement but not near as muc as a new guy at a position where we suck.
We desperately need help on the O-line and D-line. We have to address those positions before we can even consider getting another receiver.
The dire need for help on the O-line (and to a lesser extent D-line) makes it more likely that they draft a WR in the first.
The need for O-line help is such that we can't wait until the draft to make moves and need to address it in FA. This is for two reasons: 1) we don't know what players will be available to us when we pick; and 2) are we going to trust protection of the franchise to a rookie (and in the case of the top 2 OTs, rookies who haven't played in a year)? So it makes sense to address the O-line before the draft - by signing a top guard in FA.
I think they'll try and bring Lawson back to help the D-line.
They can then look to go more BPA and it would seem that the playmakers at our draft position would be pass catchers rather than pass protectors or pass disruptors.
