In addition to the above speculation that the end of the 1st might be an awkward spot for WR value, I'm starting to think that there are more potential RD 2 quality WRs then will be chosen.
Translation: The bottom of RD 2 might be a good spot for WR value and I could see us waiting until then, again.
RD 2 Potentials:
1) Mitchell
2) Worthy
3) Walker
4) Polk
5) Burton
6) J. Wilson
7) McConkey
8) Rice Jr
9) Corley
10) McMillan
11) R. Wilson
12) Washington
Order the above in any way you like, assume that x6 are chosen at most before us and we still have some really interesting options. Especially is we believe Rashee Rice is our #1 WR.

I think we need to recognize a couple things.
A) The middle of RD2 has been a spot for WR runs of late. We've had to trade into the middle of the round to get 'our' guy.
B) We don't have the draft capital we've had in years past that allows us to move up in that 2nd round as easily without sacrificing capital in the 2025 draft.
C) Veach has been typically reluctant to move the next year's picks to move up; at least anything more than a day 3 pick.
Which is to say that if you're looking at a guy who you think 'might be a value at the back of round 2' then he's probably going around 50 in the draft. And if you think he's going to 50 and you can't get there, you're probably going to end up drafting him in the 1st or you're going to lose him altogether.
If you see Walker as someone who 'would be a value at the back of 2' then you should pretty much accept that we'll have to take him at the back of 1 based on our present standing and recent trends at the position in the draft. You're not 'reaching' for the 50th ranked player at 32 (for example) - you're simply taking the guy when you can because you're not going to get him at 64.
