1st Round WR- who should it be?

Yes, I know the saints have prioritized early picks in the trenches recently. However, I don’t think the need at WR has even been bigger than this offseason.

Our WR play this year was flat out poor. We didn’t threaten defenses with big plays, and they weren’t exactly reliable pass catchers in the short/intermediate game either. I think you could make a strong argument that the saints had a bottom 5 WR group last year. Now we head into an offseason with Trequan and Deonte Harris without guaranteed money, Thomas as a huge injury question mark, and Callaway with just one more season under contract. We need to figure out if Jameis is the guy- can’t do that if he’s playing QB with the WR group as currently constructed. So who is the pick?

My early order:

1) Treylon Burks. I can’t help but see an AJ Brown type of player when I watch Burks. Just a physical beast who can win downfield as well as after the catch. He’s not exactly a polished player yet but I think he has the best chance of becoming an elite WR in this class.

2) Garrett Wilson- best combination of skill and athleticism in this tier. Plays bigger than his size IMO. Comparable to a DJ Moore player, maybe? Successful at all 3 levels of the defense.

3) Jameson Williams- long speed and burst are elite. He would give our team an added dimension as a real deep threat from day one. The Ruggs comparison will be popular because of the school but I think Williams is more natural as a pass catcher. The ACL injury is obviously not ideal, but if everything checks out medically at the combine, I see no reason to drop him much, if at all.

I think any of those 3 would be GREAT picks at #18. I’d consider them all easily
Top 15 talents.

I’ve seen Olave and London also up in this mid-first round range. Olave to me is more of a very good #2 WR than a true alpha. Great technician but he didn’t stand out athletically to me when I watched him play. I’d be okay with him at #18 but not excited. Didn’t see enough of London to have thoughts.
