Let’s talk WR’s

I never thought I would be ok with drafting offense in the 1st round, but I've changed my mind. I would actually like to see us trade up to get in position to grab Hockenson.

-He's virtually guaranteed to be a high level (pro-bowl caliber) player by year 2-3.
-He's physically and mentally ready to play a fair amount year 1 (not always the case with some rookies).
-Hockenson is better in both the run game AND as a pass catching option than WR3 is most likely.
-You're going to have to get Kelce's replacement eventually (next 1-2 years).
-It would allow us to play a lot of 2 TE sets, but not give up explosive plays in the passing game.
-Defenses would still have to stay in Nickel/Dime to handle us even with 2 TE's, which would allow us to work some more run plays against smaller D sets (mismatch advantage: KC).
-Would be insurance for the Hill situation
