I Miss Marvin Jones.

Yeah, but if I had to decide between an $8m/yr Mehvin Jones (see what I did there?) and a $10.5m/yr Dre Kirkpatrick, I sure know which one I would have picked.

Even more so because anyone not named AJ Green at WR is basically a non-factor and Kirkpatrick is (predictably) right back to being awful after getting paid.

Maybe they wouldn't have had to waste the #9 overall on Ross if they had a solid #2 like Marvin Jones. Plus they probably wouldn't have been wasting $5m on Brandon LaFell (who finally broke into double digit AVG last week with a now even 10.0).



...Ugh, that's depressing. Brandon LaFell is making only $3m less this year than Marvin Jones averages on his contract.
