Sanu is not near the receiver Jones is - especially deep. Eifert gets his targets in the seam and the red zone - and has a history of getting knocked out of a couple of games when he gets hit on a seam route - and has an overall history now of being easily injured. Neither of those guys is the deep threat that Jones is
Our offense is not competitive without all three of those targets.
Any receiver we get in this draft will take years to develop with the possible exception of Fuller or Miller - and neither will be prepared to replace Jones (at his current playing level) in their first season.
I say pay the guy to stay if we want to get another shot at the big game.
