It's a really really strong TE class, and a really really weak WR class. Why would we draft a WR and not a TE in the first round? I think we pick one TE at Rd2, one later; it's even more likely we pick two DL/DTs Rd2.
I feel like your thinking is backwards here. If a class is weak, take the strong player while you can; if the class is strong, you're comfortable getting a quality player with a lesser pick.
Yeah, that's my thinking as well. Last year the WR class was really strong so even though you missed out on the first wave of prospects, there was gonna be a sweet spot in the 2nd-3rd rounds where you'd still find a ton of value (Watson, Pickens, Pierce)
If this class is weak then I'd want to jump on the #1 ranked WR if the opportunity is there
