I am well aware that anyone we draft will be under a rookie contract for less money than a veteran. The problem is we can only count on fixing so many things via the draft so we will need to rely on FA's. The reason I brought up our current WR's was not about their contracts but more about their production. I think they are above average WR's that command attention from a defense. The question I was asking is "Do we need a 1st round WR" or can we go with a later round guy that can run a 4.3 - 4.4. Then you replied "Huh". Great response by the way. Very inciteful. Did you bother to check if there was a WR that fit that description? Here are some links for you to check out. BTW Marquez Stevenson is 6' and 190 lbs and runs a 4.4 40 yard dash and is a projected 4th round pick. He is comparable in size to to Ja'Marr Chase 6'1" - 200 lbs who may run a 4.4 40 yard dash at the combine.
If we get him in the 4th maybe we can then spend a first on a OL or DB. Because of the drop off in talent at those positions in the later rounds.

In the link you posted it literally says if he runs a 4.4 he's likely a day 2 prospect. Also, that's one guy. The fact remains, it's hard to get a take the top off the defense guy who's actually good the later in the draft you go. If someone like that is making it to rounds 4+ there's typically some other definite concerns.
It can be really hard to hit on receivers that late but we've done it before.
