Look at the WR contracts, they are crazy, teams now place a higher value for rookie WR's they can lock up for 5 years.
I think many teams now are thinking WR in the first round after the Kirk, Adams and now Hill contracts. For whatever reason, it appears WR position has elevated above all positions now in FA.
Add a weak QB class where we may only see 2 QB's go in round 1 which is far below the norm, I see 5 to 1st round WR's taken.
I hope you're right about about 5+ WRs going in the first. Let more defense slide to the Bengals. But no doubt these contracts will cause some kind of shift. Makes me think we'll have a hard time keeping both Higgins and Chase, but that's a problem for our future selves. Right now, we're in a sweet spot with both those guys on rookie deals.
