I'd add to this that offering x2 1sts for WR is a risky strategy. Pretty sure I saw a stat in the other thread that said 64% of 1st round WR's bust. I'd prob feel more comfortable with a trade using TEN's 2025 high-end 3rd rounder.
Ultimately, I think Veach has narrowed in on the best value at WR comes from the 2nd round. As an example, I'd bet we could flip next year's second or extra 3rd to make a similar move to the above in the 2nd. If we lost next year's 2nd, we'd still have TEN high value 3rd round pick, but it's actually that TEN pick that I think we're most likely to deal.
