I am not saying he is bad but to say a upgrade from MJ, I don;t see it in film or in stats.... plus we need a speed guy for Jones... The way they are overpaying with FA WRs.. I am fine going into the draft for Jones replacement.

Fine. Your site says 7 drops, my site says 4 drops. Either way, 7-10 drops over a 2 year stretch isn't a lot for a featured WR.
Heck, Sanu had the 3rd worst drop rate on that same list.
I actually don't even want Randle due to his probable price, but I do think he's a good player. Every bit as good as Jones. Healthier too.
For Jones' long term replacement, it'd be great to look at the draft. That said, Marvin Jones himself wasn't much help as a rookie. We need a vet too. Teams that are in SB contention don't rely on 3rd-5th round rookies to fill such a crucial role.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
