I doubt we draft a WR in the first two rounds, considering the success Perriman had when he came over, it's pretty clear that Kitchens + Baker can get value out of anyone.
We are still incredibly young at WR. We really do not even know what we have in Higgins because he never had a competent QB throwing to him or a competent coach coaching him. He has flashed big play ability and seems to have steady hands. I expect our young catching core (lumping Njoku in that as well) to make huge strides over the offseason now that we have sound structure in place. I Also would expect Duke to be featured more in the passing game as well now that Freddie has total reign.
I'd still be happy to see us gamble on someone if they drop but it just doesn't feel as big of a need to me as trying to find another TE with a varied skillset - more blocking focused with good hands to counter Njoku's athletic-focused game.
NopeWhat about Cole Beasley? Would he fit our WR group?

Not to mention everyone will be watching to see if Baker gives Kingsbury the stare down.There's a rumor being floated around that Browns could open up @ Arizona on MNF. ESPN always has those double header MNF games, Baker vs Rosen seems like a good ratings plug.
There's numerous storylines to sell that game.Not to mention everyone will be watching to see if Baker gives Kingsbury the stare down.
I think WR is hard to guage in the sense, that there doesn't seem to be any one WR that has managed seperate himself from the rest of the draft class, and even if there were Dorsey doesn't seem to like picking WR's any earlier than the third round. If we do elect to move up in the draft I think it's going to be to get a top shelf LB or one of the truly elite DE/DL prospects.
