I am kinda meh about them. We have Jaylin Lane and Like McCaffrey too, and the numbers on Brown and Jefferson don't suggest that they're likely to be significant upgrades over them (although they're admittedly different kinds of WRs -- outside the hashes/speed guys). Obviously, after last season, we need more depth so that we don't end up signing guys off the street again, and I am all for competition for WR slots 3-6 (assuming we go with 6; Scary #1 and our #2 not yet on the team) as between these 4 and anyone else we sign. It does make me think they're going to target Aiyuk as the #2 whenever the 9ers release him.

Personally, I'd have rather have had Jennings and/or Samuel than both of these guys.
