Was just reading Sy’s report on the CB prospects(great as usual) and he feels a trade down is a bit more than possible—moreso than I do. This of course assumes the giants do not trade up for a QB, do not want the QB that drops to them and more importantly, does NOT want one of the 3 alpha/elite WRs.
I do not think think passing on a stud WR is likely under the above scenario, even though there are so many roster holes to fill. And this will be because of ownership….not the GM. With the non-signing of Barkley, this offense has absolutely no identity, no face. Jones, even if he comes back and performs well, will need at least a year to win himself back. The current WR Corp is useless and can’t unlock its very real potential in Wan’Dale and Hyatt without a true #1. The offense will be boring and vanilla. The franchise needs a new exciting playing elite talent to be the face during the rebuilding. To provide even false hope and drum up sales. These 3 WRs are, on talent alone, undeniable elite prospects where any other year each of them could have been a top 3 pick in the draft and the 1st wr off the board. I just can’t see Mara passing on replacing what he lost with Barkley from a fan offense perspective.
Just my .02
MHJ, Nabers and Odunze are ranks 1,2,3 for the most part except for Chris Simms who has Nabers, Thomas, MHJ. Odunze 1-4.
Grabbing a WR will improve our WR room and our offense for sure. I don't think anybody will argue that . The problem is, if a QB is there at 6 or JS can swing a trade up, you have to go get him. It is not often a team is or wants to be selecting in the top 6 of the draft. It will cost less to move up or grab the QB now.
The WR position is deep in this draft and we actually have a decent group.
You can always trade for the true X ( Aiyuk ).
IMO it gets short-sighted a bit to bypass a WR if you could ahve had a him if you valeu him as real good vs the WR.
I've said this before, the top 3 WRs are not the guarenteed to be sure things that everyone is acting like they are.

and much to my surprise—is I read an article which showed that WRs is the position group that has a high rate of first round busts.

Yeah and neither are the top 4 QBs that some want to mortgage the future to move up to get. You can use that line for a lot of prospects.
I love how people forget that since OBJ and Cruz how often have we seen the fact that our WRs can't get any separation and thus there is no one to throw to. The concept that a QB can come here and somehow all of a sudden these WRs get open is naive. Fact is you need both a good QB and WR combo to be successful
I am not saying this should happen, just to brace for it.
Separately, what’s hilarious is if we don’t take one of the stud 3 wrs you and the others in this thread will be complaining and crying about it.

we can add an alpha wr but until we have a new QB we're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

This makes too much sense and you will likely be persecuted for the sound logic.

More like being persecuted for being illogical?
