Most teams don't have shit for depth. 

Backups are backups for a reason.

If you spend a high pick on a "backup" you are drafting wrong. 

You get a guy late or in FA who can run routes and hopefully be in the right spots. Or a freak athlete who might put it all together.

If they could do both, they'd be starting somewhere. 

I didn't say to spend a high pick on a "backup" at all. I said spend two picks on WRs if we re-sign MLJ but lose Sanu and Tate. To me, a backup is not a third WR. A backup is a fourth or later WR. Do you consider the WR3 a backup WR? If so, that is where we differ I guess.

My thinking...
Round 1-4: pick up a WR that would be WR3 but fill in as WR2 if Green or Jones/vet were to go down. Someone like Tyler Boyd comes to mind.
Round 5-7: pick up a second WR to fill Tate's depth spot.
