I would go w/ BPA between pass rush, WR, and CB.

Officially official....Irsay has now indicated that Richardson will undergo surgery and be out for the season:

Jim Irsay: After consultation with our medical staff, Anthony, and those close to him, it has been determined that he will undergo surgery to repair his injured shoulder, which will end his season. Anthony is a competitor, and we know how difficult and disappointing this is for him and our team.

We collected several medical opinions and we felt this was the best course of action for his long-term health. We anticipate a full recovery and there is no doubt Anthony has a promising future.

In the meantime, I love the fight of this team and I’m excited for the opportunity we have ahead of us. It starts this week with Cleveland.

Shane Steichen: "In going through the process and talking to all the doctors ... this is the best thing for Anthony moving forward."

Steichen says he won't put a formal timetable on Richardson, but he does think there's a chance Richardson is back for spring workouts.

It would be interesting if we actually got some information on why it needed to be surgery. We won't. This is obviously serious but AR should make a complete return physically. Sucks big time for all of us personally as we don't get to watch him play.

BPA is the way to go.
