This years' FA class isn't great. Especially at WR. Bunch of older guys and/or brokedicks.

The draft class is HEAVILY slanted to the defensive side of the ball.

A DK trade, addressing the LT position and drafting a RB means you don't have to touch the offensive side of the ball for 3-4 years - with the exception of replacing Jawaan - and that may be in house as Wanya looks WAY better on the right side.

I get why people may be against it, I'm just surprised how many people don't see the benefit at all.

Because adding weapons doesn't mean you create a log jam at the top of the WR depth chart, and that's exactly what you are doing by adding a DK Metcalf.

You think WRs are divas, force a bunch of them that are starters to share reps and become backups.

Add a quality slot WR to Rice and Worthy and a nice developmental guy to be your #4 and that's truthfully all you need. #5 and #6 are mostly special teamers and you know you already got one of those in Remigio. I'd argue look at the #5 as a gadget guy that can contribute on special teams.

I'd buy that slot guy, whether that's Hollywood or Moore or whatever.

I'd see how the draft falls for me regarding #4. If I can snag a guy in the 3rd or 4th round I like I'd do that, else I'd revisit FA post-draft with a pickup like we did with Watson.

I'd probably look hard at a guy like A.J. Henning from Northwestern on day 3 to be that #5 gadget/KR/PR guy.
