I'm obviously frustrated with our WR position as I think any reasonable fan should be, but this is kind of the thing right? It's not like the safety position where we took Bishop and then Hancock or whatever his name is with a Day 3 pick and called it a day.
We spent our first pick on Coleman (granted a slight trade down, but still basically a 1st round pick). We traded for Cooper. We signed Samuel (who all the film guys loved). We signed Palmer to a fairly significant contract. We've just seemingly gone 0/4.
I will also say, I was perfectly fine with the Coleman pick at the time; think he was a promising prospect. But I do think the way we treated that draft probably points to one of my issues with Beane as a GM. I just don't agree with the way he views things a lot of the time. I strongly suspect that he never even considered McConkey or Worthy because they weren't traditional X receivers (and to be fair, I didn't like Worthy either but I did like McConkey a lot). I strongly believe that our decision was basically between Coleman, Legette, AD Mitchell, and maybe Ja'Lynn Polk. And to be fair, he probably did get the best of that bunch, at least so far. But it's just a flawed way of thinking IMO and that comes up pretty frequently with Beane.
Regarding trade targets and whatnot, I do kinda wonder if even a relatively bad deep threat (think Valdes-Scantling types) would provide more impact for our offense right now than someone like Jakobi Meyers who is obviously a much better player but isn't necessarily addressing our biggest need. Like maybe someone like Christian Watson could make sense for us; Packers are super deep at WR and he's still young, has been explosive in the past, and has the size and speed we're theoretically looking for.
