Take one in the 1st/2nd. Take another in the 3rd or on Day 3. It's a deep WR draft, take advantage of that.
Getting, say, Franklin or Legette in the 1st or early 2nd (if you trade back just a spot or 2 from 32) and then pairing them with someone like Roman Wilson could be really fun.
You get a bigger X who is a legit deep threat on his own with other skills, PLUS a typical Reid-style little burner guy who can run all the deep routes in combination with the other new deep threat. You know, the stuff the Chiefs like to use to make DBs break their rules deep. LIke WASP.

My attitude throughout has been to double dip at WR. This is the year to fix the WR room for the next 3-4. BUT...I've cooled on the approach a little. There's just a lot of guys we need to replace or plan to replace. If we resign D Smith I think I'd go for 2 WRs. If not I'm getting a WR but then looking at LT and DT early, as well as LB, guard, TE, safety. Getting to be a long list.
On the point of us potentially having to take a guy in the 1st who's more like a mid 2nd guy, I just don't think it's an issue this year. Seems to be a tonne of guys evaluated as late 1st, early 2nd types. If we pick WR I think it's a guy at worst we're saying is a top 40 talent.
