I'm probably not as high on Brown as the rest though. I think Ridley is the type of receiver that best fits a Reid offense. Price/length would be everything there. He'd be a quality first option as a free agent, in my opinion.
At the end of the day, I think I'd prefer Egbuka overall but that might be wishful thinking. So long as Veach adds value in some way, no matter if he plays the draft for DL/OL and FA for WR or some other mix.

The issue is, if we pay Chris Jones, there won't be any 1k FA WR pick-up. You just can't.
Now, if you let Jones walk, you get a 3rd comp. That's not much return. If you tag him again with a try to trade him, it ties the money up. If you tag him and play him, it means no big FA spending.
You've got a lot of guys up for FA. Some you're going to let go, some you're going to pay. There's just not going to be a lot of money.
I'm afraid we're going to have to grow our own here.
