One thing to keep in mind regarding the other starting WR is that they may opt to run more balanced sets with Hewitt or Kroft and especially no-huddle with Gio. So if they're going to throw any "starter" money at someone if they lose Jones, it would be nice if they had above average ability to stretch the field, have at least average hands and feet and not get knocked around as a blocker.
I like the idea of getting a physical vet like Boldin or a youngster that can extend the field, but if they're weak at the other extreme it could cause a problem. I like AJ being able to attack any part of the field at any time, same goes for Eifert. I feel like if you put a slow #2 out there for 4 to 5 back to back plays running no-huddle the D would key up on the other two threats down field with others being short options. Same goes for a "deep threat" that may have issues getting jammed, not setting a block and not gain Andy's trust as a guy you can keep out there running no-huddle. I may be in the minority, but with Jones likely to get his payday elsewhere I'd rather have a somewhat balanced and average WR as your #2. A Boldin type for the right price on top of that would be great though.
