Would you trade FAU and Rice for a true #1 receiver, on a rookie deal, for 5, FOR FIVE years? If not, you are wrong.
I would trade 3 years of FAU and Rice, and 3 years of Karlaftis and Skyy Moore, or whatever bust of a receiver we draft in the second round after drafting a second rounder at the end of the 1st round, for 5 years of having a true number one receiver.
We don't really need to draft a lot on defense since we are the youngest snap adjusted defense in the NFL, and other than receiver, and maybe a TE, we really don't need to draft a lot on offense.
So, why is a bunch of second round maybes more valuable than a possible generational wide receiver?

The alternative approach is to double-dip given the depth of talent. I know the argument against is rookie's don't get a chance and it takes time to learn the offense, but maybe there's a concurrent rethink from the team on how to put rookie WRs in the best position to succeed.
Take 2 WRs in the first 3 rounds.
