We dont have a Nr1 guy so we would have probably used different sets and rotations.

At least keep some depth with guys fighting for the starting Positions and get some competition going to get the most out of guys. Our receiving core is already terrible, our QB is terrible, I just dont think we are in a position to cut WRs and replace them with rookies and special teamers.
Again, I dont consider Hurns to be anything special, but to cut him now after FA and before camp just doesnt really make a lot of sense.

Mickens is our punt returner (and a good one) so he takes up one WR slot. He's not as good a receiver as Hurns, but did reasonably well when the Jags were forced to use him there. He would be kept instead of Hurns if it came to a decision between the two was just based on play, and his contract is a lot cheaper too.

"Rookie" may not be a real thing. OTOH, if the Jags draft a rookie (or find still another undrafted star) who looks reasonably good, he would be kept as a cheap developmental player over the #4 or #5 receiver.
