You can reup Thomas and spend a day 3 pick to fill #5 and 6, but #3 WR is effectively a starter, which means a substantial contract or early draft pick.  We should have double-dipped there last year instead of drafting 3 stack LB's.

I would argue Jonah Williams is considered a "good" starter.
I would say Hart has been "good" from a run blocking perspective, Hopkins "good" from a pass blocking perspective.
I would say XSF and Spain are considered "mediocre."

The big problem this year is there hasn't been a single game where we've had all of Jonah, XSF, Hopkins, Spain, and Hart all healthy.
Game 1 doesn't really count because Spain wasn't here yet, and XSF got injured partway through.

For WR, you have to give Tate a shot to be a WR3 the rest of the season. If he's not displayed enough consistency by year's end, you have to find a WR3. As you said, that would probably have to be a Day 1 or 2 draft pick or else get one in FA. With that said, a solid WR3 could be had for about $4-6 mill a year. It doesn't have to be $8+ mill.
