After watching most of the video involving Ricky Seals-Jones I can tell you as a LSU fan I would have preferred if somehow we tried to keep Kyrion Parker (maybe by offering Tavares Gardner) versus trying to make a run at RSJ. At 6-5 and 220lbs. I expected much more in his match ups versus some rather small db's out there. Ran a go-route against Kendal Fuller and another db while creating no separation as he began tracking the ball. On both occasions once the ball got there RSJ gave a lackluster effort in trying to haul in the pass by barely putting his arms up instead of attacking the ball at its highest point. Lacking straight line speed is one thing but if you have a height advantage at 6-5 he has to be more explosive.

This is one reason I'm totally against rating a player who projects at a certain position as opposed to a wr who is more natural in his position and is currently playing it. I saw a lot better wr's out there at the challenge who were better in their routes and catching the ball. I think RSJ needs to be moved to the ATH position opposed to be rated as a wr.

You're going to get destroyed on here for that. He seems to be a fan favorite around here. I totally agree with you though. I would have been happier with Parker.

There was no either/or with the two WRs. We didn't lose out on Parker because we were pursuing Seals-Jones. We would have taken them both.

We lost Parker due to geography and his inability to be away from his mothers side for more than 24 hours.

But, but, but... Most people on here say he would be the crown jewel of our class.
