I don't think Cobb will replace Driver or Jones. He was drafted to improve our receiving corps. In that respect he was drafted to replace Swain. Now, the best corps in the NFL last year got even better.

Rule of thumb for receivers as to when the "lights go on" is year two to three.. projecting forward that is right about the end of Drivers self projection, Jones new contract and Nelson's contract.
I would compare it to quantity of draft picks.. the more options you give yourself, the better overall chance that you land difference makers.
Having Jones return gives the Packers options moving forward.. with a high level of talent loaded in those options.
