Move the 3pt line back? Widen the lane to the international shape so it's harder(?) to get the 3 point rebound if you miss?

Isn't the draft supposed to be super deep at WR? Not that they'll get a guy that'll immediately replace Diggs, but they need to retool and shed some salary with the bump that Allen gets this year.
