The 2022 NFL Draft will feature a deep wide receiver class.

Prospects like Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Drake London, and Chris Olave will hear their names called in the first round.

But even if those wideouts get selected, there’s still plenty of talent left on the board.

Connecting that reality to the latest developments in the wide receiver market, CBS Sports senior columnist Pete Prisco made this observation.

All of the receivers who have been traded — or who want a new deal and are considered as possible trade targets — were all taken after round one. Hill, Adams, Metcalf, Samuel, Brown and McLaurin. It’s a lot cheaper to find your own receiver next week, especially in a deep class.

— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) April 21, 2022

Prisco tweeted, “All of the receivers who have been traded — or who want a new deal and are considered as possible trade targets — were all taken after round one. Hill, Adams, Metcalf, Samuel, Brown, and McLaurin. It’s a lot cheaper to find your own receiver next week, especially in a deep class.”

Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams made headlines after signing lucrative deals with the Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders.

Meanwhile, rumors of a potential D.K. Metcalf trade still permeates football circles.

Deebo Samuel asked the San Francisco 49ers for a trade after canceling contract extension talks.

A.J. Brown and Terry McLaurin skipped their team’s offseason workouts to hopefully get their hefty deals.

 

Saving Money While Remaining Competitive

Teams that would like to trade for Metcalf and Samuel must give them contract extensions with an annual average value of at least $20 million.

On the other hand, that amount could be well over the entire rookie contract of a wideout selected in the 2022 draft.

The team could use the cap savings to improve other positions of need.

More importantly, they need not worry about production in the passing game because the chances of landing a talented wideout are high.

Prisco’s tweet should make front office personnel think twice about trading for these high-profile receivers.
