The challenge is, this team - as bad as they were - could have easily been 7-10 with better luck and some breaks going their way. That would have had them picking as bad as #10-11. You're not getting any of the top QB prospects picking that low. Add in a player like MHJ and even running it back with Zappe at QB, I think they have a pretty good shot at winning 7-8 games and again getting no real shot at a good QB in the draft next year.
They pretty much need to draft one of Daniels, Williams, or Maye if they have any hope of being an elite team in the 3-5 years.
One thing to me is... I can't find any history at all recently of a team who did not have their QB and took a WR at the top of the 1st and it worked. Few did it, but 2014 Bills with Watkins... nope, 2012 Jags with Blackmon... nope.
I guess you could argue for the 2011 Bengals who took AJ Green in the 1st and Dalton in the 2nd.
2009- Raiders with Heyward-Bey.. nope
2007- Calvin Johnson.... he was great, they went 0-16 in 2008, 2-14 in 2009, he was on his 2nd contract before they broke .500 (and that was after they used a top pick on a QB).
2005- Braylon Edwards... had 1 good season in the next what... decade?
2004- Larry Fitz-.... didn't have a team over .500 for 4 more years
2004- Roy Williams... terrible through 2007, then see Megatron above.
Basically, bad teams who draft WRs without a good QB stay bad for the most part.
Now QBs are no guarantee either but....
2004- RIvers and Manning both teams were competitive for a long time
2005- Alex Smith- stayed bad
2006-Vince Young- had some good years, playoff teams
2007-Jamarcus, complete bust
2008- Matt Ryan Playoffs year 1 and many more
2009- Stafford, terrible year 1 built to playoffs by year 3
2010- Bradford- mediocrity
2011- Cam- mediocre for 2 years then contenders
2012- Luck and RG3- playoffs as rookies
2014- Bortles, mostly bad, 1 playoff year during rookie deal
2015- Jameis and Mariota mixed bag, both over .500 by year 2, Mariota playoffs year 3 but overall not great
2016- Goff and Wentz both teams made Superbowls in the next 3 years
2017- Trubisky... playoffs year 2 and 4
2018- Baker, Darnold, Allen- Baker and Allen made playoffs in first 3 years, Darnold nope
2019- Kyler- made playoffs year 3
2020- Burrow and Tua playoffs in year 2 and 3 respectively
2021- Lawrence, Lance, Wilson- Lawrence made playoffs year 2, Wilson and Lance busted.
Overall, while you might get a bust, if you don't have a QB you can count on and you have an early pick, taking a QB is far more likely to get you to the playoffs than taking a WR.
