Marvin Jones is good, but people severely overrated him here. LaFell has been more productive throughout his career than Jones has. I would say the team hasn't dropped off that much at all and more than likely got better than we were last year.
This thread is a bit misleading anyways. There are more than just 3 wrs in the room. The futher you go down our wr depth the further apart we get from the other wr rooms in the league.
I mean, I get it, I'm hopeful that we can seamlessly replace Sanu and Jones without any hiccups, but I don't think its realistic to replace 2 starting receivers (productive ones, whether you admit it or not) at the snap of a finger. Dalton is a cerebral/timing QB. The longer he is with guys, the better he get with them. He will need to start anew with Lafell, Boyd, Core, etc.
Without seeing the product of Boyd in the NFL yet, and the relatively justified concerns regarding Lafell, I think it isn't too much of a stretch to rank us in the 20s before the season where we are now.
As I originally said, I think their ceiling is in the top 10 if they can put it together like you are assuming they will.
