You left out an option, NONE OF THE ABOVE.
Reaallyy? C'mon. JAX can't be serious. They will be out shopping for a hired gun.Who's available or better yet, who's expendable for a trade?

I voted for MAtt Jones, I think Jax will use him in a number of different sets with him being a focal point of the Offense, trying to exploit matchups his size/speed combo brings.
The Jags also have more invested in Jones where as I see WIlford and Williams competing for a similar role in the passing game.
The Jags could have a very nice passing attack even with the lose of Smith.

I voted Wilford, but I'm also a Wilford owner in a dynasty league (and very pleased with recent events).
Actually, I can easily see Wilford & Jones end up being a lot like Smith & McCardell were - one getting a bit better numbers, but the other being a very successful WR also. I do think Wilford is ready to step into the #1 role, though. He's shown some clutch ability in the past, now has good experience, and can assume the role that Smith played given his set of skills/ability/size.

All 3 have the ability to be good... Jones showed flashes of greatness and Wilford has been starting to show he is going to be a dependable clutch WR for Leftwitch....Reggie could , maybe should , be better than both of them but his development has been horrible...but I think he will come around.

I voted Jones as I'm an owner and have been drinking the Kool-Aid for quite some time. however, if he wasn't on my roster I'd definitely be intrigued at the thought of trading for Wilford.

I think Marcedes Lewis will cut into Wilford's red zone targets. He offers many of the same skills and size but should get better match ups.
Jones is the one to watch. For some reason I think he made a very big step in the New England game. He was always quiet on game day. But at some point in that game he started lobbying for the ball. Telling the coaches to throw to him, they can't cover him. One of the coaches even said that Jones came up to him and started begging for the ball and he had to take a second to realize it was actually Matt Jones who was doing this as he was so surprised.
The knock on Matt sense he got to Jax has been that he is not intense. He has all the tools but doesn't play like it's important. Perhaps a light bulb went off in the play off game.

Haha, yea the locals love to rag on him about that. And it has been true more than once. He also has been guilty of not fighting off the hands of much smaller and weaker DB when the ball is in the air. He seems to allow them to grab his arm and just try to stab the ball out of the air with one hand. He needs to learn to jerk that other arm away and go after the ball. But I relate that to the intensity issue. To use an old expression, he needs to learn to play with his hair on fire.

My guess is Jones will put up pretty decent numbers but they'll come in bunches and he won't be consistent. While the kid has serious skills I'm not sold that he can be a week in and week out stud. He's capable of blowing up any weekend but I see a fair share of disappearing acts as well.

Wilford - he has one more year of experience and has made clutch catches in the past. I think he has the most chemistry with Leftwich and will be his go-to guy.

I say this is another fitz/boldin situation where you can make a legit case for either guy. I think wilford is the #1 guy for at least this year, he has more experience playing wr and he has chemistry with lefty but I think eventually jones will be Jax's top guy. Regardless of who is #1 and #2 both should make nice impacts on ff rosters for years to come

I voted Wilford.
Yes, I currently own him and I am now considering retaining him as one of my five keepers for this year.
Three years ago I drafted Roy Williams in the seventh round and immediately after the draft traded him to the owner who had selected Reggie Williams. Basically a swap, but other players and draft picks were involved. I liked Reggie better than Roy as rookies and felt I had made a move for a player that would ultimately be huge. Midway through that season I snatched Wilford off the waiver wire because he was having more success scoring than Reggie and I had become unsure who was going to turn out to be the better WR of the two. I dropped them both at the end of the year.
Last year I did not draft Wilford but decided to keep an eye on him anyway. His final stats looked like this: 17G, 9GS, 45Rec, 734Yards, 16.3Avg. (up from 14.3), 39Long, 7TD's. He scored a TD in weeks 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 16 & 17. I ended up claiming him off waivers in week 9. He helped me get to my title game with his 4 for 118, 1 TD performance in week 16 against Houston.
He is definately a clutch WR who started over half the games for Jax last year. He is clearly the front-runner for the WR1 role now that Jimmy has retired. Although Matt Jones is looking good at this point, I see him being the WR2 all year. Reggie in the mix is going to allow Jax to use multiple WR sets that will utilize Wilfords speed mid-field and jumping ability near the goalline. I also believe that Wilford will benefit from having Lewis in there. Opposing D's won't know who to cover.

Because he hasn't even caught a pass in the NFL yet.

Top TE coming out going to a team with no real recieving threat = many targets.Not hard to see the difference.

Oh my ..
Luckily for me I happen to have both bryant and wilford on my dynasty teamIn what way does Jack have a more proven rec threat than SF now? If yo uask me, SF has the best, most proven of the 2 in Bryant. Not only that, but Lewis and Davis were neck and neck for TE1 all season and Lewis actually out produced him. GB those workout warriors.
Bryant is 6'2 188lbsWilford is 6'4 223lbs
Jones is 6'6 242lbs
Bryant runs a 4.56/40 and is on the same team with vernon davis who runs a 4.38/40
Wilford runs a 4.58/40 and jones runs a sub 4.4/40 and they're on the same team with marcedes lewis who runs a 4.84/40
So Bryant is shorter and smaller than all three wrs and is slower than matt jones and virtually as slow as wilford. In addition the jax wr's are in a better situation since they're both faster than their te while bryant isn't nearly as fast as davis. Not to mention the fact that Lefty is a much better qb than either alex smith of trent dilfer

What does any of this have to do with the fact that Bryant, unlike any of the guys on Jack right now, has shown he CAN be a WR1 and outproduced all of them last year?Bryant, 69/1009/4 as WR1 in ClevLuckily for me I happen to have both bryant and wilford on my dynasty teamIn what way does Jack have a more proven rec threat than SF now?

It's a fairly accurate statement, but I'd sure take the JAX WRs on potential over SF's.so I guess we're suppose to ignore the fact that bryant was in his 4th year while wilford was in his 2nd and jones was a rookie. I mean it's not like they'll improve or anything, right? As far as bryant showing he can be a #1 wr, I guess beating out studs like a rookie wr and dennis northcutt is quite an accomplishment.What does any of this have to do with the fact that Bryant, unlike any of the guys on Jack right now, has shown he CAN be a WR1 and outproduced all of them last year?
