I’m trying to remember all the times a team used a top 10 pick on a #3 WR and it worked out perfectly. John Ross comes to mind. I don’t have time to dig for other examples right now.

Shouldn't you take the glass half full view? When you draft a guy that's better than what you have, he isn't the number 3 just cause he's the newest addition. Higgins and Chase become 1 and 1a, and Boyd gets in where he fits it. John Ross was a scrub, and a horrible pick. He has nothing to do with what's in front of us... Also at the time he was drafted our number 2 was Brandon LaFell. Ross wasn't drafted to be a number 3 receiver. Chase won't be either... I'm also willing to bet the farm he ends this upcoming season with > 0 catches, 0 yards, and a fumble wherever he's drafted.

I'll take Sewell in a heartbeat though... No skin off my back either way.
