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.

I get it.
I just don't see Jameson Williams as that blue chip player. I can't wait until the draft is here and he goes top 15 so I don't have to spend the entire night dreading the Chiefs trading up for him.
