1. Allen Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars, 24 years old

Quite possibly the best wide receiver available in free agency in 2018 is Allen Robinson, the former second-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He broke out with a monstrous 2015 campaign in which he had 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. He became an elite deep threat that season by averaging 17.5 yards per catch and had a career-high 90-yard touchdown reception as well.

He followed that up with a season that netted 883 yards and six scores, and there were signs that he and quarterback Blake Bortles simply were not on the same page. He never got a chance to redeem himself though, because he tore his ACL on his lone catch of the 2017 season

Even with the injury and the subpar 2016, Robinson should get paid in free agency. He’s got more talent than most wide outs and showed off a knack for making highlight-reel grabs. He’s also been able to look the part of an elite receiver at times despite having a highly inconsistent quarterback throwing him the ball.

For Cleveland, it would take some convincing to lure him to town. Robinson would need some assurances that they will draft a franchise quarterback No. 1 overall. Or maybe, by signing a legitimate starter they could put that to rest before even offering him a contract.
