WR class is deep in both the 1st and 2nd tiers. I don't think we are likely to get into reasonable trade-up range for the 1st tier so we may be better served to either A) Trade down with our first and take someone at the top of the 2nd tier of WRs in the early/mid 2nd. Or B) Stay put in the 2nd and look for someone mid/back of the 2nd tier.

The only way waiting until the 2nd to get a WR next year works out is if they also invest in a quality WR in FA. Otherwise you're hopeful that Rice takes a huge leap in year 2 and the 2nd rd pick starts to perform on a limited route tree by the mid-point of the season like Rice, which is certainly not a given. If you want a talent who is likely ready to hit the ground running it's probably going to have to be someone taken in the 15-20 range of the first round at the latest. If that requires a trade up then so be it, we have future draft picks or maybe extra pick(s) from a Chris Jones trade. They have to figure it out.
