I'm wary on getting V-Jax and Colston. Both will want long term deals, yet they are both 29 years old. How much left do they have in the tank?
Also I think that V-Jax's numbers are inflated a bit higher than they should be. He has a tendency to torch terrible pass defenses (313 yds 5tds combined against NE and GB) but then lay an egg in many other games.
Colston I love, but am worried about his lack of starts. He started 7 games last year despite being clearly the best reciever on his team (besides Grahm). Is this an indication of character issues where the coach benches doesn't start him? Probably nothing, but still makes me nervous considering we'd have to pay him top dollar.
Garcon I like alot. He is who I would go for if I were the GM. He is young, runs his routes well, runs after the catch, and won't be paid top dollar. I'd be comfortable with our skill players being Griffin, Garcon, Moss, Hankerson, Davis, Helu, Royster (who quietly dominated this year when given his opportunity...just look at his two starts), Gaffney, and Young as our pass catching FB (also I think Hightower will be back). I doubt Shanny will go to Garcon though. He seems set on a big name guy. His hard push to pay top dollar for that joke Santonio tells me so.
