Me? I wouldn't trade up for a WR... probably never ever, much less this year.

My point was that after Crabtree, IF I wanted a WR now, I would trade back to use that pick on acquiring Edwards AND have extra picks as compensation in the deal to move down.

I'll stop talking about Braylon here though... mostly because we have another thread on this, but also because he isn't coming here anyway. My point was simply that I'm not high on the WRs after Crabtree this year anywhere in the first round, but there are still very legitimate reasons why the team could consider a need there this year.
