Assuming ARob walks and potentially Lee I believe Coughlin and Dave will look to sign a vet WR in addition to drafting a developmental guy. Needless to say the list looks pretty underwhelming initially outside of the top guys but there are still some guys here with potential who could be worth exploring in the second wave of free agency. 

My list of guys to consider:

Paul Richardson 
Terrelle Pryor
Taylor Gabriel
John Brown
TJ Jones
Jordan Matthews
Michael Floyd (assuming his head is on straight)
Jeff Janis
Sammy Watkins please

I intentionally left Watkins off this list assuming he’s going to be commanding a top tier deal vs a more moderately priced deal like the other guys. If the team is willing to go after him though I surely would mind Watkins in a Jags uni.
That list sucks so bad, just bring everybody back Caldwell/Coughlin at all cost so the Jags can make another run at a AFC Championship, hype up the fans, and then get bounced.

I don't think he will command a top tier deal.

I’m thinking something along the lines of 8-10 million per year average.

That sounds right to me.

Even if it's at the high end of that spectrum, it should be a lot less than what ARob is commanding/trying to command.

Totally agree. 

I would like to mention I consider a middle tier deal something along the lines of what Hurns signed for and an upper level deal anything in that 10-15 mill+ range. 

Watkins should be a target of ours but I have a feeling the team may be wary of him considering his injury history. I’m sure they would want some injury protection built in the contract. That may be a deal breaker out in the open market.
I like Moncrief but I don;t think he fits here. It's Watkins or bust for me. Although I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Pryor actually
I don't see any FA receiver worth signing.
None of these guys are that great why not keep robinson. Watkins is not as good and hes more injury prone.
Arob too expensive. He's arguably not the best guy on that list and will cost 4 or 5 million more than the next best guy, AND he's coming off injury. No thanks.
If we got Pryor for cheap I'd take a chance on him

But that's the gag!  Watkins has missed fewer games to injury than ARob.
He's had two down seasons after a good 2015, but I would like to see Donte Moncrief get another shot. He has the ability, but needs to stay healthy. I think McCardell can help him be more consistent.
What worries me about Moncrief is that his one good year was Luck's good year. Was he just a product of him?
Trash Heap.
Matthews is my preference if Robinson is let go.
Donte Moncrief would be my choice of the available receivers. Big, fast, athletic, and still only 24.
