For instance... Evans, Ridley, Higgins, Pittman, Brown, *Hopkins? ...I wonder about Ridley, especially, is there any chance? Where does he stack up compared to these 1st rounders.

It's hard to argue against many of the FAs as they are all proven, 1k WRs in the NFL. Brown, Higgins, and Pittman are guys who wouldn't turn 30 until the very end of a deal, so probably the most attractive. Ridley is 28 already and the others are over 30.
I'm probably not as high on Brown as the rest though. I think Ridley is the type of receiver that best fits a Reid offense. Price/length would be everything there. He'd be a quality first option as a free agent, in my opinion.
At the end of the day, I think I'd prefer Egbuka overall but that might be wishful thinking. So long as Veach adds value in some way, no matter if he plays the draft for DL/OL and FA for WR or some other mix.
