For what it’s worth PFF is now saying what I said before the draft. The 2021 WR class will likely be better than 2020. So those worrying about Fitz leaving or Kirk failing to further develop, productive players should be available in at least the first 2 rounds.

will we be able to get a top quality one at #32 though?

Jamarr Chase was the best receiver in college football last year...and he isnt draft eligible until 2021.

It'll be interesting to see. You've already lost half a year of development on these guys who couldn't participate in spring practices. Are they gonna be able to have late-summer training camps? Who's overseeing their offseason training programs?

For a lot of these incoming juniors people are predicting a level of growth that may not be available, or we won't get to see.

I certainly don't see it being worse. And where we will be picking (top 20) we should be able to get a top 3 WR. I still think Fitz plays on though and that one of our younger WR's steps up.

Also Fitz is now a WR2/WR3. We don't need a high pick WR to replace him. Hopkins already replaced him.

Yeah. Not sure where people are getting the illusion we can't succeed at WR unless it's a 1st round pick. We already have a superstar. In the past decade, only three teams have carried 1st round pick at WR that they drafted to a Super Bowl win, and the list isn't impressive. Eagles with Nelson Agholor, who isn't striking fear into anyone, the Broncos with Brandon Marshall, and the Giants with Hakeem Nicks, who also isn't really striking that much fear into anyone.

Don't know how the WR's who were drafted this year will do, but in recent drafts some of the most successful WR's were NOT drafted in the 1st round. So I don't think we should be too concerned about having to get one who is ranked in the top three. And I have no idea about FA/trades, etc.

I would be focused more on CB & OLB in next year's draft. Another Patrick could be in the cards (no pun intended) if Patrick Surtain Jr. is available when we are on the clock.

My early 2021 draft wish list:
#1 - Patrick Surtain Jr
#2 - Halmicar Rashed Jr
#3 - Thayer Munford

It's the proverbial dartboard of spread offenses. I dig Ceedee Lamb but what will he do when he finally gets bumped at the line of scrimmage :)

This will be a consistent theme for drafts year to year moving forward. It is just the nature of how football is being played at the middle school, high school, and college ranks.
