I don't see anywhere in my post that I mentioned Jones (but now that you've brought him up, he did average 3.4 yards more per catch than LaFell, and LaFell will turn 31 this year). I just said that they need a deep threat to stretch the field. I don't think it's a terrible signing, but in the context of only spending $15m and LaFell is $5m of it, it sorta is.
I like Smith, but BL came in here on a "prove it deal" & he proved himself. Sounds like he wants to stay here and he is a weapon. An 86 yard receiving TD against 2016's #1 ranked defense proved that.
