Everyone is talking about Kenny Stills but he is not the only good WR out there in free agency.
1 Ashlon Jeffery is a big target and was once a number 1 WR and would be a great addition
2 Desean Jackson has some speed and can produce big plays
3 Terrelle Pryor is an athlete who can stretch the field and break tackles and make big plays
4 Kenny Stills fast big play WR who can stretch the playing field, homerun threat
5 Pierre Garcon another burner in the mold of Stills
6Tedd Ginn is a burner and good return man and is a cheap alternative to WR Stills, he is still a homerun threat
7 Brandon LaFell not blazing fast, but a big target who can break tackles and make yards after the catch. He would be a great number two WR and plays that role well with the Bengals playing along side of A.J. Green. He could fit in real nice along side of Devante Parker on the outside and Jarvis Landry in the slot. Having Julius Thomas at TE and Ajayi at RB would make the Dolphins scary on offense and give defenses headaches.
 
our options are wide open to replace Stills, least of my concerns
 
There is Vincent Jackson, Michael Floyd, Anquan Boldin and Taylor Gabriel to consider as well.
 
Can we please stop suggesting Alshon Jeffrey

Ginn and Lafell are only realistic players on this list. The rest are way out of our price range. Remember we're looking for 3rd receiver we will not get Gabriel from the Falcons he has a 2nd rd tender, but Aldrick Robinson does fit the mold we're looking for and he's cheap! I believe firmly this guy should be our target or just draft Stacy Coley from UM
 
What is limited is the type of receiver that can get over the top. Stills has averaged 17.1 yards per catch over the last 4 years. The only other person on that list to match that is Jackson. Everyone else is in the 15's or lower and Garcon is in the 13's. We can't replace Stills with another possession receiver!

Who are both in the 13's average per catch.

I don't think that's a bad average and keep in mind we have a tight end added to the offense so everyone is going to a little drop-off somewhere.

It's not so much about an average as it is about someone who has to make the safeties step back a bit, which Stills does and only a couple people on that list do. Having a TE does not do that by himself as that is more LB coverage and the safety will easily be able to assist if we don't have another burner at WR.
 
Basically not having a Home-Run WR condenses the field quite a bit making it harder for Landry and other RAC players to get extra yardage.
 
For the record I don't think we should pay Stills 12M a year, however besides Jackson, no one on that list helps us replace Stills. Maybe Ginn, but I don't want to bring him back.

I really like Stacey Coley of Miami. Anyone know what draft grade he has? I might use our 3rd round comp pick on him, but I firmly believe at least our first two rounds should go to defense.
 
One more player to name drop here at wide out is Josh Gordon who will most likely be let go from the Browns. I know he has substance abuse problems, but the Fins could get him real cheap. He is huge and can get deep and is athletic enough to fight for the ball in the air. You just have to keep the caninibus and Ricky Williams away from him.
