Poll: What should/will Veach do with the WR group?

[kccrow]

I'm going to go out on this huge limb and say it's a combination of the last two options. They'll sign a cheap vet to cover their bases and they'll draft a dude. That draft a dude might be quite high if they feel good about everything else but depth on the roster.

My only concern is that might make our draft selections too predictable for Veach's liking. Example:

In that scenario, we *should* use #31(and potentially another to move up) to get the WR like JSN.

Then that means we *should* use our 2nd to get a starting-caliber RT, and maybe move up to do so again.

Then that means we *should* go get an Edge or IDL, with the next pick being the other position not chosen.


I don't think Veach likes to go in to the draft with such glaring holes in such a predictable sequence. Of course that's me just hand-wringing.

Let's say you grab Nelson Agholor or Adam Thielen for 7m this year, I don't think that telegraphs much.

Grab a solid reserve OT like Josh Wells for a vet min deal or so that can respectably compete for either spot as a starter and be a quality swing reserve at minimum. Pick up a DT like maybe Watts on a vet min deal.

I think that puts you in a pretty solid area heading to the draft with no major holes.

I hear you, but I just feel like Nelson / Adam are such "meh" options for us as we head into Kelce and Reid's final stretches. Sure, we can do something next year too, but let's strike while the iron is hottest.

- KT's health is such a risk factor... banking on him playing all season is ballsy.
- MVS stepping up would be a necessity
- Skyy stepping up would be a necessity
- The Rookie understanding Reid's playbook and excelling out the gate would be needed

We would need 2 or 3 of the above 4 things to happen.

I feel like that's just playing too fast and loose with what should be a "go get it" opportunity.
