I'd say Golladay, although I think signing him is fairly unrealistic.
I look at it like this: Last year the team shelled out 18 mil to a guy that they expected to be a number 1 wr who built much of his reputation on being an outstanding 50-50 ball guy. The qb puts a ball up for grabs deep, and prime AJ Green is coming down with it more than almost anyone in the league. Obviously they did not get that out of AJ, but Golladay has a very similar game. He's a 6-4 x-reciever type, ie the exact type of guy we need. It would be just like last year, but possibly a bit less money-wise compared to the Green deal, except we'd actually be getting someone still capable/willing to give number 1 caliber production.
Obviously there would be a longer commitment involved, but if he produced as he has for the last couple of years it's still a great investment.
If you signed Golladay, you're obviously hoping Sewell is there at 9, which is another reason I like shelling out for a wr over a OL. I like Chase a lot, but I feel like teams are going to be all over him. I think there's a much smaller chance that Chase is there at 5 than Penei. One of those teams ahead of us, likely Miami if they don't trade out will view him as a guy that's going to be their number 1 wr for the next five years.
If building around Burrow is the goal and the team is as geared-up to spend as we hope, then I think an offseason of adding Golladay, Sewell, and a upper-mid-tier guard would be a huge win. I'm thinking Zeitler, Warford, or Jackson here.
