If I look at our biggest needs right now....WR is not even top 2. DE and CB are bigger needs and trading up 8 spots to take Williams is a waste of a pick IMO.
I would much rather give up more....and get up high enough to take Jermaine Johnson.

If you trade up for Williams you're not trading up for a WR - you're trading up for
Jameson Williams.
You don't execute that trade up because you're worried about not getting the 3rd or 4th best WR prospect in the draft. You don't do it because for someone like Olave, for instance. Because that would be need based.
You do it because you think Jameson Williams is the BEST WR in this draft over a meaningful timeline and has that sort of ability to be a legitimate #1, 1,400 yard, game-breaking WR here. You're not considering need at all at that point - you're just going and getting a blue-chip player at 21.
And IF you believe that, I'm absolutely fine with it, especially at that cost. But you can't do it because of the Breeland Speaks thing where you're worried that there's only one guy left in your tier so you need to go up and get him before that tier gets cleaned out.
You only do it if he's the ONLY guy that was ever in that tier to begin with, IMO.
