I still like Alshon Jeffery

[Southpaw]

Coin flip with Floyd and Jeffery. Blackmon slides. If Cards could trade down to 15 - 20 and get Alshon, 1st day draft would be sweet.

No thanks. Reminds me of Mike Williams (USC) 2.0.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

They could trade down to the top of the second round to get him.

This seems to be the Conventional Wisdom. Is Alshon going to balloon up like Williams or not?

Boom or bust.

If you're a loaded team with a lot of draft picks you can afford to to roll the dice on him. But if you're talent-poor, don't have many picks and have to make every pick count, you probably think twice.

Still - based on what I've seen in past years - if he can regain his earlier mojo, he could turn out to be a beast with teams who pass on him kicking themselves.

Or not.

If I were the Cards, I'd stay away from him unless he dropped to the 4th round.

That's a very good point. Teams with a high % of returning veteran starters can use later round draft picks on guys like that because most of their 4th and later guys aren't going to make the roster anyway. That's why you see the top teams appear to do a poor job of keeping their draft picks in recent years. There just isn't any place on the roster for them.

At least that's the take of a couple of "experts" who say that teams that have a veteran roster can afford to trade away draft picks because they don't need them.

Probably why NE keeps trading for future picks. Stockpiling them for when their veteran roster starts to age.

Just a thought.

As a South Carolina alumnus I'm biased, but there was a reason he was considered by many to be the best SEC receiver in 2010. He actually outplayed the likes of AJ Green and Julio Jones. In my perfect homer world we'd get Melvin Ingrim in round 1 and trade back into 2 and get Alshon.

Coin flip?




more like a tire flip. Jeffry might be 10th on my list of WRs. Dudes a bum. He makes Moss look devoted to the game.
