Quote:Randall Cobb is an outstanding receiver; I'm just not sure the investment makes sense, mainly because Lee and Cobb are similar players. If you sign Cobb he'd essentially play the role of Lee, I'd like to see those snaps go to Lee as I think he can develop into a special weapon. A receiver that might make more sense for the Jags is Torrey Smith, he'd be cheaper than Cobb but more importantly, we don't have anyone on this roster that can consistently take the "top" off a defense, Marqise Lee is fast but Smith has world class speed. I can see a situation where Smith and A-Rob our are outside guys, while Lee is the "move" receiver, throw in a  legit weapon at TE and all of sudden the Jaguars have the look of a dynamic offense with matchup nightmares everywhere.

Didn't realize Torrey Smith was a free agent... he'd probably come cheaper

 

The difference in Cobb and Smith's 40 times is .03


however I do see your point on the similarities of Cobb and Lee.

 

Personally I think having a "vet mentor" for the WRs is over-rated and would much rather spend the money on a legit TE threat. But after Thomas the drop off in talent is big. Cameron has talent but an injury history, Clay is an H back type... Gresham has been a disappointment as a 1st round pick, but maybe he could be had kind of cheap and break out...
