I agree with all of this including UNLESS ANOTHER TEAM OFFERS A STAGGERING AMOUNT OF MONEY. ...He is starting to look better to me than Jones or Sanu.  He is very good at getting both feet down on sidelines catches, but he is also good crossing over the middle of field and he is getting into the end zone more. ....CONTINUITY......good word. Dalton is starting to get some timing down to him. ...He is starting to remind me of when Bengals had Issac Curtis and traded Paul Robinson for Hall Of Fame Charlie Joiner.  A bad team became a good team fast with Curtis, Joiner and Trumpy.  Then they kind of blew it by later trading Joiner for Coy Bacon who Bengals would trade 2 years later with Lemar Parrish for a draft pick of far less talent than Robinson, Joiner, Bacon or Parrish. .....The reason I compare him to Joiner is LaFell has some very athletic skills that would team up great with AJ Green and Eifert.  If Boyd comes along, we have a monster passing attack.  ......Dalton getting timing and routes down with Lafell, Boyd, Wright, Core and Erickson could pay-off huge in 2017 Super Bowl Goal.  Instead of clunkers like Baby Hawk, actual pass catchers to go with AJ Green 

Plan B is to lose LaFell and draft a WR in Round One to go with AJ Green and Eifert and Boyd....but the problem is there are no AJ Green or Collinsworth types in this draft. Mike Williams would be great if not for that life threatening neck injury and that neck is a worry in the hard hitting NFL. The idea of him trying to catch over the middle getting blown up is not good. Looking at the WR's in the draft and our draft needs in other areas and all the first round draft talent this year at linebacker, I say KEEP LaFell if we can. LaFell is showing NFL athletic skills far above what is out there in this years college draft. I also look for Boyd to become a top NFL WR. Not a rookie sensation like AJ Green, he was a draft pick to develop into a solid veteran as he is coached up.
