How much do they love Powell or Nailor?

draft a wr, nice deep draft to try and find a mid round gem

You can't count on Nailor, he's proven that. Powell provided more than expected from the receiver position but he's more of a 4th or 5th receiver and not someone you want to depend on to provide production if either Jefferson or Addison go down with injury. Receiver is absolutely on the needs list amongst the many on this roster

Nailor flashed an ability to get open his rookie season and looked like he had the potential to eventually be our WR3, but then ended up on IR for practically the whole season. Like most of the '22 class, this is Nailor's make or break year.

Given how deep this class is, I think we'll see some good WR talent drop into day three, but WR3 is not a position I'm too worried about. If it's not Powell or Nailor, a late round pick, UDFA or free agent are other options. My overweight Borgie could play WR3 and our WR group would still be better than everyone else's.

Not that we can get him but I watched a bit of Malik Nabers and ... Wow! I rarely see a guy on vid and have that kind of reaction. I think he's gonna be a star.

Yep. He is much more of a sure thing than Daniels, Maye, JJM, etc. But I am told that we have to trade our future for a projection QB who will likely be just ok and is more likely to bust than become a star. Whatever.

He's no secret, thats for sure...This years group of WR's looks exemplary, especially at the top (and especially in April lol)

The answer is not much, ha. But either guy can be an almost-serviceable WR3, and that's totally fine when we also have Hockenson and Aaron Jones. I'd be surprised to see WR picked any earlier than super-late, and if we do go that route I'll be highly interested in the player because to me WR isn't a need at all.

Wide receivers miss time. JJ missed what 7 games? Addison missed time as well. We need more talent at backup for sure. This is a deep WR class, should grab one day 3, ‘cause it won’t be day 2…  :angel:

I don't think it's about trust, as much as with JJs upcoming contract you probably aren't investing in another big WR contract to pair with it, so you probably need to keep bringing guys in to ensure you have enough low cost guys.
