That leaves Dillon Radunz and Alex Leatherwood and both of them look like their Pro future will be at Guard.
I could see them all being gone by the time we pick in the 2nd. I'd rather have the pick of the litter at 5 than wait for the guy that falls.
That's my main issue with picking a WR. It just gums up the whole works when it comes to positions of need.
Take a WR n 1. Now you need a RT in 2. Now you wait til 3 or 4 to get a DE, DT, or corner, all of which are likely needs.
This is moot if free agency is aggressive on the OL, but honestly I see WRs on the market and others that are likely cuts that could be had for very reasonable deals vs what the quality OTs/Gs will demand. Tyrell Williams and John Brown are one-trick ponies, but they can do the one trick that this offense badly needs. Then there's a guy like Emmanuel Sanders, that's mega-dependable and also likely reasonable, though not the speed merchant we seek. You could get 2 of those guys for the cost of a tackle and throw in Kyle Rudolph if he gets cut and still have money to burn.
WRs are just not as tough to find as they once were, and with 2 quality ones already on the roster, I'd rather supplement there n FA and invest the 5th in a top-end tackle on a rookie deal.
