I think 2023 is the next time a 1st round pick could be used on a WR. CB, Edge, TE, and OL are the biggest priorities to address in the 2022 draft. If the CS doesn't believe in Mims, a WR who fits the system can be found on day 2.
Actually we can do both. Protect Zach and win the game going downhill and playing defense. The run will set up the pass not opposite. Everything they have done so far with ZW has not really worked assuming the CS wants a Win.
Maybe he did give Zach that advice during the game. We don't know. The check down option was always available for Wilson on those interceptions and he didn't take it.
