This is why I feel like there has to be a trade for a DE or CB before the draft. And then get a CB and WR in the draft.

Because there's literally zero downside to it.
If he says yes, go ahead. Worst case scenario is that the cap space you cleared and don't spend becomes a cap credit that rolls into subsequent seasons and pays for the cap charges you created in the coming years.
It's a net zero from a cap standpoint that creates immediate additional flexibility so that if something you like does come along (be it trade, FA or an extension), you already have the money moved around as needed to make it happen.
You just have to be responsible with it. If you DO spend it, now it's gone and you've created 'unfunded' liabilities for the next few years. You're paying on credit, so to speak. So if you spend it, make it count.
