What's worse for us in this scenario?

The team desperately lacks height at wideout. Hodgins and Johnson are both big targets, but are those players worth a shot this early?

OLB is a mess too. Maccagnan really did a horrible job building depth anywhere other than DL and ILB.
I think Edge is worse. Add in the fact there is more quality depth at WR than edge in this draft, I’m more comfortable waiting for a WR in round 5 than a second edge.
I think it’s also safe to say whatever WR we draft at this point will be less of an immediate impact player (with those in front of him) where as the edge guy would be in rotation from day 1. Given we have 1 starting OLB on a 1 year deal, this might be the best plan. Especially since we can get another big WR later. I think Johnson would be there in round 5, even if Hodgins is a superior player.
I really think Johnson is going to be a damn good red zone weapon. Not sure what he will bring outside the red zone though, and that’s why I think he isn’t going before the mid 5th
