^ This. The only alternative is trading for someone. I think people forget we have WR room with no one in it. Didn't want Watkins at that start. Desperately want him now because we first of all need bodies, and secondly, instantly becomes the second best option. As you said if you can grab a Bateman then maybe he's 3rd which is right where you want him
at the moment we've got 1 starting WR and a bunch of special teamers, blockers and practice squadders
if you can find 2 guys e.g. sammy watkins and a high-ish draft pick who can come in - all of a sudden devin duvernay looks pretty good as a developmental receiver and gadget guy as WR4 who's always going to be active because of his special teams prowess...
all of a sudden that WR corps has some juice - not gonna be world-beaters but it doesn't have to be
