I think a fifth round pick straight up would be about right and, given our situation at WR, it might be necessary to get him. You have to figure that most teams think the Texans will be picking before the Saints in 2022. A sixth rounder might not cut it.
I do agree that there will likely be other WR's available in the next couple of weeks, but we need one sooner to start learning the playbook.
