If you're going to take a receiver, why extend LaFell?
Why not just take a receiver when LaFell leaves or when he regresses (maybe next season).
Because it was Lafell's first year in our system and he played very well. He should improve in his 2nd.
If the draft doesn't shake out like you want it to we still have an experienced WR that should improve.

The thought is that most WRs take a year or two to develop and we know how Marvin operates. I could see us draft a guy at 9 and start him slow before phasing out LaFell, if the rookie actually shows us something.
Yeah, this even more, it was a good re-signing.

If we take a guy like that, I don't think LaFell would be very valuable in 2017. For one, he makes too much to be a #4 WR, and if he's the #3, he's keeping Boyd from getting serious snaps.
So basically, I'm with milksheikh.
Don't always get that with a rookie WR even in the top 10.
I am with Bengal Dude.
