I just think if we paid Brown, we are going to be disappointed. Just like we were with Sammy Watkins, and MVS. I'd rather draft and develop another one, and go get a Moody or something at the same price point.

I think Brown, paired with Rice is a really nice setup. Add another guy that can be a bit of everything if you can, but Brown can do all the stuff that Hill used to do

I disagree with this. This offense NEEDS vertical threats or you will see what we saw this year, teams coming up and taking away all the space in the short areas.

You want to run Nagy's sideways passes? Get guys that can go over the top and there might be space for those.

Otherwise its a 1 yard gain as 7 guys are waiting.

Take the total targets for both MVS/JWat; 97 I believe. We'll just ignore Mecole's 'deep' targets for the time being.

Now, not all of those were 'deep' targets, but if we had a Mike Evans, you could expect around that number of targets for a player like him in this offense. I mean, who really cares how many targets JWat actually gets if we had Mike Evans?

I think it's moot anyway; Evans is going to get at least $25 million/yr, and we can't afford that.
