On offence we're worst at OT, specifically RT, so again I'm fine if we prioritise that. I just don't think it's insane to work back from building an elite WR group, and I think we can get adequate at RT and probably DT in FA, maybe better at DE as well.
Honestly though, I'm not that keen on trades that give up anything in the top 3 rounds. There's obvious exceptions but we've got enough positions we could use the picks. But if I'm not paying Hopkins $20m and giving up a late second, or whatever it would take, I'm also not that keen on giving up $20m on JJSS. Big money on so-so players leaves you with as many holes to fill.
My overall preference right now is probably not to trade for a WR getting up in years and losing a pick, I think we're just going to have to hit on one in the first 3RDs. But I'd be waaaay less frustrated if we used our first pick on a WR than most I think, if it was a hit.

I'm not against drafting a WR in the first. Hell, I'm advocating for drafting and developing our WR corps so we don't have to pay top of the market FA's.
And let's be clear, Juju and that level of WR's are getting near $20m. So if you want to 'improve' to a clear '#1WR', then better be prepared to pay north of that and to NOT solve OT or DE this offseason, other than the draft-which we know is not likely to be an immediate impact drafting #30ish.
We have 33 people under contract for '23. THIRTY THREE.
