Should we trade up to grab a high rank WR?

this is assuming we seek a rookie WR to be our #1 or 2. I hear we have interest in Brandin Cooks but cloning Smitty should not be our focus. His tapes prove him to be fast and shifty which is nice but upgrading for the future and finding that type WR we've never had should be key imo. So should we grab a higher ranked WR or play the board game?

I hate that people are turned off to the idea of drafting Cooks because he is compared to Smith. 

 

We aren't interested in him because we want a Steve Smith clone. It's not "our focus". We are interested in him because he's a damn good receiver who may be available at our pick. On film, on the stat sheet and based on combine results he is a top 5 WR in this loaded draft class. 

 

But to answer your question, no. We don't need to trade up. This draft is deep.

I would not mind it at all. It would excite the poo out of me!!!!!

Assuming we get Jones and Cotchery + cbs help, I would love to trade up for Watkins or Evans. Only those two tho. I like Lee but we could gamble our chances of him being there at 28.

watkins would wipe away the last 2 weeks around here. lol

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
