For starters, Gallup has another year to accumulate stats and if he were break out this year (1k yds, 8 TD's, etc) he would be in the top-tier of available WR's next year ... that alone puts his salary demands higher than this comp to Cory Davis.

Secondly, unless the 'Boys just want to wash their hands of him and not make even a reasonable offer to keep him, he will likely be looking for at WR1 or WR2 role. Under the assumption that Cooper isn't going anywhere anytime soon (my opinion), then Gallup is already no more than a really nice WR3 here. He's going to go after opportunity as much as money.

Additionally, getting at-best a 3rd round compensatory pick really equates to a high 4th round, so its not really all that enticing. Therefore, a trade of Gallup that nets a Rd-2 pick is an absolute steal. Even a 3rd is better than the compensatory pick itself.

Lastly, its my hope the team will find a way to keep these 3 together. But if the team were to end up selecting Pitts in the draft, I could see Gallup becoming a post-draft trade target and his name will be linked to many a rumor.

Gallup appears to be a great kid and has all the traits you want ... but he's still the most "replaceable" receiver of the top-3 right now.
