I think trying to get an edge rusher or a DB makes more sense for the team this year, if they decide they want to add. They desperately need talent at those two positions, much more so than WR. I’m not saying I’d be against getting a receiver but does a recover make a material difference to the team this year? I’m not sure. On the other hand, if they got a big upgrade at DB or DE that could actually change things.
I think the simplest way to look at it is this:
Our D is at least 2 players from being good -- either 2 DBs or 1 rusher and 1 DB -- and honestly, possibly more.
Our O is one player away from being almost unstoppable.
There are a few guys out there allegedly available who could fill the one role to make us unstoppable -- and we've named them ALL! But who are the guys rumored to be available at the multiple spots we need to make the defense good? Reddick at edge is clearly available -- but who else?
And as posted earlier -- if we can get one D hole filled
and turn the O into a superpower? Hell yes! If we can do it for 2-4 3rd and or 4th round picks? **** yes!
And to be clear -- if the price is higher than that? I'm much more skeptical. But 3rds and 4ths next year and the year after aren't gonna do shit for us this year, and likely not next year either. If we can spend those on guys who will move our window up by a year -- and make JD's contract a value one year earlier -- I'm all over it.
Honestly, show me 2-3 difference makers in the spots we need on D who may be available in trade, and I will 100% re-evaluate my position re: WR. Seriously. But if they're not out there, I don't think we should spit on the opt'y to blow our offense out because we hope that we get lucky with a mid-rounder or two who might contribute 1-3 years from now.
