Brandon LaFell will replace Marvin Jones just fine, and Sanu really never got any major play time unless there was an injury. We can still get a decent WR later in the draft, and the staff could think that Alford could do something next year.
I have faith in LaFell, but our depth is crap right now. We're an injury away from Brandon Tate starting. I'd have to think WR would be a priority for the next couple rounds, but hopefully we don't wait too long.

First off, I like the fact that LaFell has never missed an entire season like Jones has. Secondly, if their numbers are nearly identical, what are you upset about? Also, for all we know, the Patriots would have cut Marvin Jones after his 2014 injury. They're not as loyal as the Bengals when it comes to injuries.

It kinda is, really. Our #3 WR sees far more snaps than our #4 CB.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
