Then I can use this season to work him into the offense, get him up to speed and have him at full gallop next season. And if Brown is an ideal fit and we can retain him somehow, we're at 3 complementary guys. If Brown doesn't work out as well as we'd hoped, we had an understudy that can come in and we can draft a new deep threat NEXT season.
Same thought I had last year - draft your deep guy when you NEED your deep guy; that was why I loved the Rice pick over the board consensus in Hyatt.
Unless you're going to pivot to an offense that's predicated on speed out wide and move Rice into a heavy slot role more often. If we do that, I can see Worthy being someone we're looking at in the 1st.
But I kinda doubt we will. It's an awfully massive pivot for a team coming off back to back SB wins.

I think they pivoted to the model they did out of necessity, not necessarily out of choice, because of what was available. Which is....well smart. Take the guys you have an opportunity to get, build to their skillset and move forward.
If they have a guy they think can be a legit deep threat, top off big play guy, take him and do it. I don't know if that's Worthy or not, but the theory of it would make sense.
