I feel similarly about both: good players to have on the roster, but we could do significantly better as starters.

Their signing shouldn't hinder them trying to sign or draft better players at both positions.

Agreed.

Pleas explain how Chris Conley isn’t one of the best no.3 options in the league. People on this website are delusional. It’s exhausting
Conley, good. Wilson, as long as he's not being asked to cover anything.

I have no problem with Conley, like I said I see him as being a valuable part of the team. I don't really know what no.3 means, but in terms of having someone on the field that defenses are gonna have to game plan against, he doesn't really push the needle.
Yuck on Wilson. #becausejaguars
Big fan of extending Conley, but not Wilson.

Wilson's a good special teamer. He's got enough speed to get down the field, and he hits hard. There's no way on God's green earth that he should be starting.
Conley is OK to have, not great. Consistency is a huge issue for him. Drops way to many what should be easy grabs, gets out physicalled by DBs at times and always looks to the ref for help. But certainly ok to have.
Both guys represent affordable (2.8-3M per yr) players that perform adequately. Their costs make them still easily replaceable if we find more affordable talent in the darft or FA. Can't really complain about either move. Two less holes that need to be filled, even if they are just roster depth.

Conley is a solid guy who represents the team well in the community. He's a relatively affordable veteran who, should we find an upgrade in the draft, would be cheap to part ways with. He should continue to be an asset on the field otherwise. Is he Megatron or Jerry Rice? No. But, he's a good outlet for Minshew OR Foles, and a leader in the locker room for the young receiving corps.
As far as Wilson is concerned, they didn't pick up his option to be a starter. But, as has already been pointed out, he's a rock solid special teams guy. If we get something out of him on the field elsewhere, he's worth the minimal contract we have picked up the option for.
