We have a bunch of league minimum WR's already. None of them are as good as Ross. The only one that's serviceable is Tate.
A conservative estimate would put Ross finishing the year with 500 yards and 4 TD's. Tyler Boyd had 603 yards and 1 TD as a rookie 2nd round pick. Point being, you aren't likely to replace his production with a late round flyer despite the drops and injuries.
Wanting a cheaper replacement is fine. You'd better be willing to spend a Day 2 pick on a WR if that's the case. That also means other problem areas like OL and LB are going to have to wait.
