Jags clearly lacked a legit threat on offense and caught teams by surprise with a few unknowns. Personally, I would rather have A Rob at 16 million vs. Lee at 7 million and Hurns at 7 million. I know most likely A Rob will have a down season coming back from an ACL, but both Lee and Hurns instill zero confidence and if that's going to be our 1 and 2, then I think this team takes a step back. I also don't know much about the rookies, but I don't know many that come in a make an impact their first year. So unless we draft Julio, I don't know how much confidence we can have in the receiving corp?

Just my Canadian two cents, currently worth only $0.015 USD.

I understand what you're saying.  To me, the question is, is there a better way to spend our money than to spend $16 million on a "good" WR coming off an ACL injury?   I think so.  $16 million is enough to sign 2 real good players, such as an offensive lineman and a tight end. 

I like AR a lot, but I just can't quite come to terms with the cost of franchise tagging him.

Additionally, your point about rookies not reaching their potential in year one is a very good point.  But since that is true, would it not be fair to say that the various rookies we played at WR last year could make a great improvement this offseason, which might alleviate our perceived needs at WR?
