Sadly, Emmanuel Sanders would've been perfect for that job.
Of the likely FAs, Travis Benjamin is the guy I see that would be best suited for the job. He's not that big WR that teams are likely to pay as a #1 so he may be a little more affordable. He's quick enough and a solid route-runner with elite YAC skills so he should be great in the scheme. He proved this year that he can hold his own as a #1 if absolutely necessary (though it's not an ideal role for him).
Benjamin is tops among my FA WR candidates by a fair margin. Unfortunately it appears that it's very likely he'll be staying in Cleveland. It's unfortunate as he really is an ideal option; almost Maclin-like in terms of how well he would fit given our needs.
Marvin Jones is probably #2. I'd probably say Rishard Matthews is my #3 and then maybe Hankerson and Sanu.
When that's the list, you're probably well served to look to the draft and hope that the guys you already have take a step forward.

Benjamin would be tits, with Conley and Wilson as the 3 and 4.
However, I think it's time to throw a few more draft picks in there from a financial standpoint.
